Sunday morning began like this:
Chief woke up at the crack of dawn before the sun ever began to shine.
side note // Chief & I now have a morning routine,
he wakes up at 5 AM, we go potty & then back to bed, well at least i go back to bed.
the minute i get back to the bedroom after morning potty,
i shove a Nylabone in his mouth & that normally gives me about thirty more minutes of sleep.
Nylabones are to dogs, as pacifiers are to babies.
Chief woke T up around 7 AM & i'm so thankful that T quietly took the dogs and allowed me to sleep.
around 9 AM, i get woken up by T saying that he & Pierce were taking the dogs to the beach.
i was instantly awake. there was no way i was missing this monumental day!
Chief's first time at the beach!
we packed up the 4 Runner and headed to the beach.
the first trip ended with the beach patrol telling us the puppies were not allowed on the beach without a leash.
// seriously, whatever //
we ended up at Atlantic Beach.
we definitely were a sight to be seen; we had four dogs in tow & everyone stopped us to pet the little monsters.
the puppies immediately followed the big dogs into the water &
i was very surprised to find out that they were not the least bit scared of the water.
they played in the small waves & watched the big dogs as they retrieved a buoy, over & over again.
the day ended when we noticed the puppies shivering in the chilly water,
even then though, they still did not want to leave the big dogs' sides.
we played on the beach for awhile to dry everyone off & then headed back to the car.
like i said before, we were a spectacle to everyone we passed, until...
as we walked pass One Ocean hotel a bunch of rather tall, muscular girls were loading onto a bus;
the girls saw the puppies and right away asked to take pictures with them.
being friendly & knowing how much girls love puppies,
i handed Chief over to be passed around to have his photo taken.
that is when i heard T, under his breath, telling me to get a picture with the girls.
but, why??
ohhhh, the light bulb went on & i realized it was...
the USA Girls' Soccer Team!
they had played a game against Scotland the day before & won 4-1, how exciting!
now i bet your wondering about the pictures we took with the USA Girls' Soccer team??
...well i had a little case of stage fright when put on the spot by T & chickened out...
yeah, i'm pretty lame.
but my sweet, fluffy-faced puppy is not; somewhere out there is a picture of Chief & the girls' soccer team.
