Beach Dog Chase at Oregon Coast
You’ve heard of “the dog days of summer,” right? Well, typical summer beach weather along the Southern Oregon coast can be a bit gray and chilly, but that’s never deterred Doggy Dundee (a.k.a. Chase and Claire Krulikowski) from having a rollicking good time on the sand and in the surf!
Cool Fun
When there’s a stick to be had and waves to romp thr0ugh, we’re game. It doesn’t make sense to Chase that there are some dogs who’ve never enjoyed the pleasure of a visit to the coast and the feel of wet, salty sand on their paws. Brookings is a great, dog-friendly beach, though, usually, courteous dog owners keep their dogs leashed in the more public areas of the beach and unleash their (friendly) pooch to roam when they’ve gotten to more secluded areas (unfriendly or unsure dogs are kept leashed).
Carried Away
When Chase gets too “crazed” though, I re-leash her onto a 16 ft. “expando” leash otherwise Chase will doggy paddle to Australia to find a stick she’s lost in the surf; and that means I’ve got to dive in and fetch her (“rescue her”) from some frothy wave that’s just pummelled her and tossed her around like a washing machine. Doesn’t take more than that one mistake to teach Doggy Dundee a lesson (thankfully, that lesson ended happily!)
Play careful with your dog at the beach so everyone has a good ‘un.
