We're Getting Ready For ...

  Derby ............. Julep

Two cute westies!

 J&D were having so much fun running & playing upstairs

they didn't pay attention to me when I went downstairs.

 Hey ... how did she get downstairs without us?

Well Julep & Derby I know you're not going to help me

pack for our beach vacation in Duck, North Carolina so I

just decided to let you play.

The vacation countdown begins - we leave October 6. 

We rented our favorite house in Duck once again.  It's a big house

for just us and the westies but off season it's worth it!  I'll be posting

pictures of all the rooms but here are a few general pictures

from one of our past trips.

 I'm hoping we have nice weather for beach walks.

 The lookout spot on the top front porch.  From here J&D can

watch people [and dogs] go to and from the beach,

rabbits nibbling grass in the yards below and foxes running

thru the yard into the brush.  All in all they spend hours

just watching, waiting & barking.  They love it!

With all this activity and fresh ocean air we have two

very tired westies by the end of the day.  I think Derby

took himself to bed on this particular night.

 We have to watch them like a hawk while walking on the

beach - there are to many things to sniff and eat along the way

It's work for me after a beach walk - cleaning sand from their feet 

and brushing their fur out ... but they really enjoy it.  

It's ashame we can't let them off leash ... but if we did I'd still be chasing

 them along the beach because westies  {at least my two} have zero recall!

... Countdown to our Outer Banks vacation week ...
