We had an extremely busy Labor Day weekend. MJ’s family was in town and I love it when they come to town. They just love Maverick to death, so he is showered with love. We ended up taking Maverick to the beach for the first time and he had a ball. He was a little nervous of the waves at first, but then he figured out that he could jump over them. Such a smart puppy!
What I did not know (and I should have done the research) is that salt water can make dogs sick. I love Maverick, but he winds up inhaling a lot of water while he is swimming the ball back after it’s been thrown into the water for him to fetch. He got a little sick from the saltwater he drank, but it wasn’t too bad. I guess he is too used to going to the park where there is fresh water for him to swim in (and consequently drink).
If you live in Charleston and want to take your dog to the beach, I highly recommend Beachwalkers County Park on Kiawah Island. There is a whole section where your dog does not have to be on a leash so they can run and play with other dogs. It does cost $8 to park so be prepared.
Here are some pictures of Maverick’s first trip to the beach that I wanted to share with you!
