The cats arrived earlier. So here are a few of our morning dog pals to round out your day.

We were half way through our early walk to the beach before we ran into the first of our morning dogs, the delightful pair of little white dogs, Mandoo (the youngster) and Ipuni, the senior citizen, who has trouble with the doggie treats because she is now toothless. But she tries!

Then it was on down the beach where we met Bear, the now bare Pomeranian who we used to see all the time a few years ago, but now run into only occasionally. Before the haircut, Bear was a puff ball that would sneak around the gate in his yard to come down a few feet to the beach and collect a treat or two. And Bear proves to have a good memory!

After that, it was a trio of Jake, Pepper, and Hao, with Jake leading the way as they flew across the lawn towards us!

And, finally, Tucker demonstrating that he can still manage to get airborne.
