This early morning we loaded the car with Gunner's stuff; car seat, towels, toys, water bowl, water, toys, treats, poopy bags, extra clothes (for him) baby wipes, and a few other non necessary things. So here we go. We drove to Davis Island Dog beach for a morning of fun with the bulldogs. There were about 6 or 7 bulldogs plus a bunch of other dogs.
I kept Gunner on a leash because this was water and his first time ever. I slowly walked him in the area and was greeted by other bulldog owners. They sniffed and pawed each other (the dogs not the owners) and we started our fun. Gunner met a lot of dogs and had a good time. He is NOT afraid of water and went right in with the big dogs. Scared his Mommy a bit, but we survived. He had a great time and didn't really understand why people thought he was fat. A few said wow he is fat, which he isn't. He one week shy of being 6 months old and is about 35 pounds or so. He has no fat rolls and is healthy.
As in any group, there are the pickers and we met them. What evs as they say in Hollywood... Gunner is a show dog that clearly stood out in the pack today, he received many oohs and ahhhs and frankly he is a star in my eyes any day of the week.
I was pretty excited to see my dog was healthy, happy and lovable to me...
Not sure we are doing the dog beach again since he has no fears of water, but I can say this, he will be socialized more in the coming weeks!
