MACINTOSH MONDAY

This weekend Andrew, Macintosh and I went down to San Diego for the weekend. We went down for a specific reason (more on that later in the week) but we were able to visit a dog beach at Del Mar, just north of the city.

Here Macintosh had the time of his life! The beach was covered in dogs of all shapes and sizes and they were all as sandy and wet as him. He frolicked in the waves, sniffed all the dogs and just ran around with Andrew like a mad man. It was all so wonderful. Except that he was stuck on the lead and they weren't...





One particularly young and boisterous dog came bounding up and looked like he wanted to play with Mac but was put off slightly by the lead trailing from Mac. Andrew gave me one look which said "Oh please! Please can we let him off?" and then just did it! Macintosh was off lead, on an unknown beach, with other dogs and thousands of smells stretching for miles. My heart was in my mouth! 

Thankfully Macintosh was amazing. He just ran around with the young and boisterous dog and had a quick sniff around at others around him before coming back to us when called. Andrew quickly clipped him back onto the lead as its always better to end in a positive way and I finally breathed out!!!

He loved every minute of it and was totally shattered for the rest of the day. He was a sandy, soggy mess but he was happy. Just look at him...






Not sure we'll be letting him off again. I guess we'll wait and see.
