Montrose Dog Beach Appreciation Day

It seems anyone can make up their own holiday these days (see: Tortilla Chip Day, Bathtub Day, etc) so at least in this apartment we’ve declared February 24th “Montrose Dog Beach Appreciation Day.” We live such a short ride from the dog beach that I admit I’ve taken it for granted. You’d be hard pressed to find another major city with such a large dog beach just a few miles from downtown. With Penny’s temporary ban from off-leash activities, I’ve realized just how spoiled we are to have the dog beach in our backyard. For the time being we’ll have to get by on memories of our last beach trip.

Every day is dog-beach appreciation day for Penny. It’s her absolute favorite place

There’s nowhere else in the city the pups can get up to top speed

Nothing makes me happier than watching these two race across the sand

Nothing makes them happier either!

And when they really get flying, it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins

I mean, I’m not even sure how this photo is possible. I’m pretty sure Eko shouldn’t have six legs…

Every day at Montrose Dog Beach is a good day

It could be another week or more until Penny gets the all-clear to return to off-leash activities. I imagine it’s going to be quite the homecoming for her. I might need to block off a whole day for that trip.

Absence certainly makes the heart grow fonder. We miss you Montrose and we promise to always appreciate you if you’ll take us back!
