Beach time in NZ

Summer is all about the beach where I live and it looks like the weather is mint. Max loves the beach and has his favourite places to stop and sniff and pee. We go walking there twice a day and it is beautiful. Always risky though when there are people picnicking on the sand, and the smell of their food makes him deaf to your voice. Last year we had the ‘chicken incident’, when he tore off across the beach, over someone’s lawn, into their house (where dozens of fancy people were having a fancy party), ran around them all, jumped onto a dining chair, grabbed a piece of chicken from the table and ran off with it. By the time I got there the deed had been done and I was so apologetic. The lady laughed and said ‘it happens all the time dahling, but we like to leave the doors open for the breeze’. Mortifying. He is always on lead in that area now. Big kiss maximum xxx
