Monday, July 2nd

We had a busy weekend!  Saturday evening we went to Powder Point Bridge in Duxbury to play in the ocean.  We had a lot of fun, met some nice people including a child and watched and listened to the cars drive over the bridge.  (And, Remus was so tired that he SLEPT through the fireworks!!  That was not what I expected.)

Sunday morning we were up early, went to breakfast and visited Jenny Grist Mill in Plymouth.  There we walked underneath the overpass, next to the stream going into the ocean.  Met some more people, watched a few ducks in the water and walked over the wooden bridge.  Teaching (or desensitizing) Ry (and any puppy really) to different places and walking on different surfaces is such a positive thing.  I often see dogs who are afraid to walk on our blue floor at the veterinary hospital, it would be so much better for them if they learned they could walk on different surfaces.  In class, I will put different materials on the floor for the pups to walk on- a wooden expansion gate spread out flat on the floor, a metal crate pan, a tarp...

Another early morning today, we drove to Plymouth Beach- Dog Friendly!!  Yes!!
We spent about 40 minutes there listening to the waves (Remus is a little noise sensitive), met more people and played in the sand (I brought Ry's water toy- an orange fish).  Remus likes to carry it/ or something so I encourage that.  I remembered to bring my camera and was able to document our field trip.  And, we went up and down the wooden ramp.


And, late this afternoon we went to the bogs again- Ry went swimming (really he was chasing the ducks).  Remus had fun trying to keep up with Ry, well, I think he did.  I did get some nice photos of him.

Uncle Ryan at about 4 months

He is such a cutie!  See any similarities?
