Milo's Big Day Out: The Beach!

After the dog park, Milo and I made our way down the hill to the beach. This was our maiden voyage together to the beach. I think Milo may have enjoyed the beach even more than the dog park. He seems to prefer people to other dogs, so the beach was definitely more entertaining for him in that regard. Love this photo of him mid-step on the path over to the beach.
I would imagine that the water was super cold, but that didn't stop Milo from dipping his toes in to start. There was even a guy swimming in the Sound, with flippers and a wet suit. Craziness.
Milo must have been inspired by said swimmer, because he decided to go in a little deeper. This photo doesn't even show how deep he actually went. At the deepest, his ears were almost entirely immersed. Watch out Michael Phelps, we've got a swimmer on our hands. Not exactly, but for a basset, I think Milo did a pretty great job in the water.
He was one pooped out dog when we left the beach. He could barely keep his eyes open on the short car ride home, and it took him a little longer to climb the steps up to the house once we got home.
Sweet dreams Milo!! Thanks for a great afternoon buddy!

Milo's a lucky guy. Looks like he had lots of fun on his big day out! We'll have to get him and Blue together again. Maybe a trip to the dog park!
