Dawn and dogs. That’s our regular morning routine most mornings. Walk to the beach to watch the sunrise, and if we’re lucky, we run into several of our favorite early morning dogs.

And the newest addition to the pack, Jake, the energetic toy poodle puppy, is demanding to be front and center. Today he was jumping all over Tucker, taking Tucker’s ball away from him (despite some warning barks from the usually silent Tucker), and in constant motion looking for mischief to get into. But, oh, he is so very, very cute!

I think you’ll agree.
