I finally got the major chores completed.
Lemon blueberry scones are chilling in the freezer before baking and Summer is looking at me with the most pitiful look.
Time for a quick run to the beach.
Not really quick because we have to dodge so many potholes.
Lots of other dogs and their humans had the same idea so we had to go to the trail less traveled.
I worried briefly about my sense of direction on an overgrown trail but Summer always knows the way and led me to a pretty decent beach access.
We had our stretch of shoreline to ourselves.
The best part is that I can tell her that we need to check on her pal and she finds the best trail back to the car.
Every time.
She even waits for me to catch up.
I love Summer.

Golden lab finds the beach before I do so she comes back to help me along. She is running towards the camera.

@NorcalGma2 so much debris on the beach here! Why is there so much wood?

The Eel River has been flooding and washing all of this out the mouth and onto this closest of beaches.

@NorcalGma2 love all that wood wrack on the high tide line, I guess crazy weather’s been sending that out the rivers into the ocean.

The mouth of the Eel River is close by. There were two rows of debris. Lots of logs.
I was very careful walking because of the stuff barely sticking up through the sand.
Summer just skips her way through it with no problem. She kept coming back for me.

@NorcalGma2 She's the best dog. I love her stories and I hope her pal wasn't too lonely while you and she got some fresh salty air.

We are very close to the beach.
He visited by telephone with his same age first cousin. They got caught up and were still talking when we got home.

@NorcalGma2 Years ago when my sister was living in Montana she went out hiking with her dogs. It had snowed and she wasn't sure where the trail was. She just followed her lab (named Sacajawea) and she led them back no problem. Labs know stuff.

It is so helpful that one of us knows where we are going.

@NorcalGma2 My friend told me that the white tip of a collie's tail is called a shepherd's lantern, because it can guid them home through storms and fog 😊

Must work for labs too. Summer's tail really shows up in the long beach grass.

This was my Shai, a tri-pawed rescue who was my heart companion. When we lived in the Buffalo NY area, we were out in a nearby park when a snowstorm suddenly hit and I was completely turned around (lost). I said to him: let's go to the car!, and he led me right back. I guess he had a coal dark lantern for the snow.
