Home

We made it back to Indy!! The pups slept most of the way...including in some interesting configurations.

Our last morning at the beach

We will miss our oceanfront morning routine.

Friday afternoon nap

Duplex

The other side of our duplex has been occupied since Tuesday by a family with two big lab mixes, Lady and Scout. Our decks connect at the outdoor shower area, so all our dogs roam freely and visit either side.

Shells on the seashore

There are always lots of shells and shell fragments on the beach. There seem to be more than usual this morning after storms last night.

Morning walk and playtime on the beach

Beaufort, NC

This afternoon we left the island and took a little road trip and visited the town of Beaufort on the "mainland". It is a quaint tourist town that reminds us of the tourist towns along the coast of Lake Michigan in southwest Michigan.

Haute dogs on vacation

Moshi is sporting his new "I'm on vacation at the beach" collar. We ordered a matching pink one for Malaika but it's too big, so she's wearing a butterfly collar:)

Quiet morning

All is quiet in the beach this morning while Moshi keeps watch.

Dog tired. Again

After walking about a mile and a half on the beach, the dogs are very tired. Moshi works his retractable leash in such a way that he probably traveled 3 miles...

Spiral staircase

Our beach house has a little spiral staircase to get to the second floor. The dogs like the openness of it.

Beach rental

Here's our place as we come back from our long morning walk on the beach. It's a duplex and were renting the half on the right. You can see the second floor from here. The dunes block the first floor which is elevated up off the beach. We have nice views from the top floor. However, our place is tiny compared to most of the huge places on the beach.

Cordes vacation

Susan relaxing with dogs that are dog tired after running up and down the beach.

First beach walk

Both dogs enjoyed the beach. Moshi enjoyed the shallow waves coming in. The waves crash far enough out in the water that they didn't bother him much. Malaika preferred to stay a bit more inland and out of the water.

Greetings from Emerald Isle, North Carolina

Susan, the dogs, and I are spending a week together at a beach house on the shore of the North Carolina Outer Banks. We arrived last night and the dogs will get their first ocean visit today. I predict Moshi will bark at the waves. Here is the view from our deck.
