Summer has come on in full swing with temperatures about 5-6 degrees higher than the average for this time of year. To escape the heat, we have been heading to the beach quite often and I love to bring the camera along too. :-) At the beach, we have fun swimming, wading in the water, chatting with guests, and meeting neighbors. On a couple of occasions, we've enjoyed talking with a couple of ladies who bring their dogs on to the beach to play. We
love dogs and we are always happy when they show up at the beach. One dog named
Jemma, is a young Labrador Retriever and she is always begging you to throw the toy so she can fetch it! When she isn't busy fetching she enjoys playing with
Orla --her doggie friend, who loves to chase Jemma and "fight" over the toy. Here are a few snapshots of Jemma and Orla having fun!

| And she enjoys playing tug-of-war too! |
What are some things you do during the summer to stay cool? If you have dogs, what are your favorite games to play with them?
Blessings,
