Bow Wow Beach

In extending Shea's birthday, I decided to take him to the dog park today. I would have done this on his real birthday, but it's a little bit of a trip and if you haven't noticed, it is starting to get dark early. Plus, Jeff and I enjoyed spoiling him right here in our home.

This morning we set out to Stow, a town about forty minutes away, to one of the top ranked dog parks in the country. No lie. It's actually a doggie beach. Bow Wow Beach to be exact. Eight acres of fenced in doggie fun, including a lake and sandy beach. As we walked up to the entrance gate, Shea could hardly control his excitement. Without an ounce of hesitation he simply sprinted to the water and dove in.

Now while at Bow Wow Beach, the pep in Shea's step never left. He literally hopped through the water for over an hour. In between fetching balls, two at a time, he chased any dogs running by. A number of park-goers actually commented that they have never seen a dog as happy as Shea.

Here is some short footage of him playing with his new friends:

Shea has only been awake to eat since we returned home!
