Off to the seaside
Posted: May 6, 2013 Filed under: walks | Tags: alaskan malamute, beach, puppy, sea, seaside 82 CommentsWe’ve had beautiful weather this bank holiday weekend, so much so that mummy (who is permanently pasty white) has actually caught some sun! Today we decided to head to the seaside. We’re about an hour’s drive from the sea and mummy had been told about a beach with no dog restrictions, so we were pretty excited about the trip. However, when we arrived there was a big sign saying no dogs on the beach between 1st May and 30th Sept! So the trip didn’t quite go to plan.
The photos below are a bit deceptive, they make it look like we had the place to ourselves. That couldn’t have been more further from the truth: the whole area was packed with sun seekers, and every other person had their dog in tow. We managed to find a few quieter spots for a dip but I must confess I was a bit suspicious of the sea. Daddy bravely waded in to encourage me but I wasn’t too sure.
I hope I get to go back to the beach again but maybe next time we can find somewhere quieter without any restrictions.
How did you spend your bank holiday weekend?

Hello Misaki. I lovs your beach. The beach is the best. Some many great smells. You got an Ice creamy too. You are one lucky pup.
Wags,
Your buddy Ranger
Hey Ranger, ice cream sure is good:-)
Oh BOY! That looks like so much fun. I hope you enjoy yourself!
Thanks Casey, it sure was fun to see the sea:-)
It looks like lots of fun!
Purrs
It sure was, thanks Texas:-)
Is that ice cream?!?! Looks like a wonderful time all around!
Yep! And it was yummy:-)
The beach looks great, and the ice cream REALLY looks great.
it really was Roxy! And I managed to guilt trip daddy into sharing his too BOL
It looks like you had a terrific time at the beach! We’re all rather wary of water, too, especially when it goes so FAR. Lots of love from Mattie the foxhound, Simone the collie and Eddie & Lucy the JRs.
I wasn’t sure about the waves, but once I was in it wasn’t too bad
How fun! That ice cream looks great too!
it really was Ems!
I’d say your ice cream might have been the highlight of your beach trip!! 😀 😀
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
It was Sammy!
That’s OK-the water was probably too warm for you anyway. Tell Them you want to come back in the winter. The water will be your temperature. No crowds and you can do what you want. Don’t forget the ice cream cone.
Daddy said it was freezing cold! But for me, yes it was a bit warm
the photos are great and that ice cream sure looks delicious!
it was definite the highlight of the trip:-)
At least you didn’t drink the sea water like I did the first several times we went to the coast! Playing in the surf if F…U…N, isn’t it?
I had a quick lick, but wasn’t too keen luckily
That is funny – it does look like it was just you out there. Hope you find an off leash beach, they’re the best!
That’s what we’re hoping for too, guess we just need to keep looking…or wait to go in the winter BOL
Oh…too bad. I hate that. (As you saw over at my place today.) Looks like you had fun anyway!!
We sure made the best of it Stuart:-)
We have the same problem, the best beach is closed for me between may and september. But we have enough other beaches for walking… and you’ve got ice cream… that’s much better than the beach :o)
Oh you’re lucky Easy, all the beaches seem to have the same restrictions sadly. But yes, the ice cream was really good:-)
I don’t know about bank holidays, but a trip to the beach sounds excellent!! And ice cream to boot! Yum!
Yep, can’t beat ice cream:-)
Looks like such a nice trip to the seaside!! I got a little sun this weekend too so now I don’t look as pastey:)
I hope you’re not looking too lobster-ish. Mummy could definitely pass for one atm BOL
Yikes you went to the seaside, bet you just loved it, did you eat any smelly crabs,..So far behind, mail youz in morning 🙂 xx00xx
Mollie and Alfie
no smelly crabs, or anything fun tbh. Wasn’t allowed on the proper beach:-(
You got an ice cream!! Looks like fun, Misaki!
Love the new look on your site – it looks great!
Thanks so much Finn:-)
Beach, ice cream BOL Misaki you hit the mother load. Pawsome my sweet pal. Have a marvellous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
Hope you had a great weekend too Molly!
Oh, we can tell you had a fabulous time at the beach….and you got ice cream!!! What better way to top off a beach day than licking a yummy ice cream cone. Hugs and nose kisses
That’s true Chancy, can’t beat a good ice cream:-)
that looks like fun!xx Speedy
it was Speedy, hope you enjoyed the sunshine!
Misaki
You did have beautiful weather for your long weekend and we are thrilled as we know sometimes the UK weather can be rather weepy
Hugs madi your BFFF
Hahah Madi ‘weepy’ is a very polite term for English weather!
That looks like so much fun and lucky you…you got an ice cream cone! Yummy!
It sure was:-)
No dogs there starting May 1st…you were so close…just a few days past. Oh well, at least it looks like you guys got a yummy snack! 🙂
I know! If only we’d gone last weekend:-(
I can recommend some place Misaki. Just hop on over to mine bloggy for some ideas and bark if you want more info. If you ever come down to Devon, I’ll show you around! x
Ooooh please do! I’ll deffo stop by soon!
We didn’t have a holiday. You are lucky to go somewhere so cool! Lee and Phod
PS love the new design
Hope you get to go to the beach too!
Whee had fun in the sun and Mummy’s burnt her shoulders.
xxxx
I bet you guys had a great time running round the garden:-)
Hope your mummy has some aftersun, my mummy hasn’t and looks like a lobster BOL
Looks like you had fun, in spite of that evil sign. What can possibly go wrong when you have a whole entire ice cream cone to yourself??! Yum!
Love and licks (which I wish we’re ice cream licks),
Cupcake
Oh Cuppycake, I’d love to say I’d share my ice cream with you, but I’m afraid I don’t share food. Well, unless it started off as someone else’s and they shared it with me hehe! But I hope you get some ice cream too!
I bet the ice cream almost made up for it!!
It sure did Austin:-)
lovely pictures and I like your new blog header! Ice cream too lucky you
urban hounds
Thanks so much guys:-)
How glorious you lucky Misaki. 🙂
Thanks guys:-) Hope you had a good weekend too!
So you are allowed when the water is freezing cold (not that it’d be any different on May 1st), they want dog popsicle.
Doggy doesn’t eat icecream 😦 He’s special with food, he likes his food and meat and some treats.
The pics are great!
Doggy doesn’t like ice cream?? But its the best! Are you sure he’s really a dog??
We had a very wet weekend and we weren’t at any beach:( Maybe you can go back there again in the fall so you can be off leash. At least that ice cream cone made it a super day.
Love the pics. Mom really misses being close to the ocean.
Woos – Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
Did you get to play in the mud? That’s always the best bit about rain:-)
awww! Looks like you had so much fun Misaki! The ice cream is a nice topper to a perfect trip!
Can’t beat ice cream Kirby:-) Hope you had a great weekend too!
You were very brave Misaki – Was the water cold? My Mum says she’s never known it to be warm water in the UK, but your coat might keep you nice and warm?
Wags to all
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
Lol yes your mummy is right, it was freezing!
I hope that salt water doesn’t ruin your nice fur 😉
By the way, we really like your new avatar.
Lol I wasn’t in long enough to even warrant a bath after 🙂
Wowsa! You sure had a great weekend! AND ice cream???
Lucky duck…oh, I mean DOG.
Kisses,
Ruby
hehehe Rubes, no ducks sadly!
What lovely photos! Don’t worry sweetie you’re not the only one who is suspicious of the beach. The boyfriend just wants to hide under an umbrella.
Mummy is the same as your bf, she hides under the umbrella too:-)
The beach AND icecream! Lucky!
Thanks Dougall, hope you had a great weekend too!
We didn’t have a holiday and it rained all day. Misaki that looked like a great place to just jump in and have fun. You got to just jump in and swim, Mica and I have such fun and its really not scarey at all 🙂
Doggies do love to be beside the seaside 🙂
Wow! My Hairy Slobbery sister Cinnamon went to the beach with mommy and Daddy on the weekend too! And shes gots ice cream! When she gots home she told us all about it and wes was a little jealous.
Kisses
Nellie
