CJ and Jenn in Jose Olé

Since it was Shane's first weekend off since Christmas we decided to head to the beach with the dogs. He was excited to see Luna swim (it's the most uncoordinated swimming I've ever seen) and we wanted to socialize Stella and possibly get her to swim some.

We went down to Santa Cruz. They have this little beaches where they are entirely enclosed by bluffs so you can let your dogs off leash and they can run. We were going to do it with our dogs but it was a little too much with all the people, dogs and water so we kept them close- maybe next time. When we first got there we took Stella to the water and we were running around in the waves and she was just having a blast- it was hilarious! She even swam a bit.

Luna hates swimming but Shane had to see it so he made her a few times. He even figured out how to set her down between waves and they'd come from behind her and carry her in like she was boogey-boarding. The second time we tried to take Stella out she was really nervous. It might have just been too much b/c she kept just wanting to be by us and not play.

Stella did dig her first hole and it got so large at one point that she could almost be buried in it... instead we buried Luna in it and Luna had no problem with it whatsoever- she didn't even care!

We look forward to taking them there when it's a little bit less crowded so they can run and play and we can get Stella more used to the water.
