The dog walkers of Britain keep the beaches and the seaside towns alive during the winter. Even the beach cafes open so you can get a bacon sarnie and mug of coffee half way round the walk. In the Summer we let the children have a little bit of sand all for themselves but come the end of September we even get that bit of the beach back.
Professor Delphi & student, I presume? Quiz is just everything a collie puppy should be! The comment about cleaning the beach reminds me of the day I took our very Naughty Springer Spaniel for a beach walk. After a while I wondered where she was and turned around to look. No people on the beach but a young couple sitting on a blanket. There to my horrified eyes was 'Libby" squatting on the edge of their blanket doing her 'business' right on the corner of said blanket. The look on their faces could not be described! There are some things for which you can never apologize enough! She was not a proper English dog, for sue :>) nij
She gave him the cold shoulder for a week or so when he first arrived. But once he had grown big enough to play chase with she decided he wasn't that bad. In fact, she is usually the one who initiates the games.
Wonderful pictures. Thank you for sharing them. Molly wishes she had a beach to play on and two wonderful friends to play with.
ReplyDeleteTell Mrs MP her arty skills are great.

ReplyDeleteLove winter beaches. Took daughter's new puppy to Seaton Carew Christmas morning. (pics on blog)
ReplyDeleteLove beaches in winter. Walked daughter's new puppy on Seaton Carew beach on Christmas morning.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the new guy is making room for himself!
ReplyDeleteI see the puppy has a proper mentor.
ReplyDeleteOne question: do they clean the beach before the Summer starts?
The British clean up after their dogs. We are not French.
DeleteNor are you New Yorkers either (Some do, some don't. And for others it depends on whether or not they're being watched.)

We had a collie that peed up someone else's windbreak on the beach once.
DeleteLove the photos! Quiz is quite the pup. Does Delphi enjoy having him as a companion?

DeleteAnd now Quiz is singing "In Praise of Older Bitches" (Attn male/male-adjacent folks: so should we ALL! ;-/)
