The gorgeous sun is out today. We flipped the page on our Berner calendar for April and the new picture shows two happy Berners standing on the beach, wet from the ocean, sand in their coat, smiling big smiles. They look like they've just enjoyed a great romp in the waves.
We will be taking Riley to check out Newburyport beach today. We've never been there and it's a perfect day to be out. Unfortunately, Riley did not make it to the MSWALK. I had to walk without my partner this year. Friday night, after a nice long walk along the Charles River, Riley began to limp slightly. It wasn't anything severe, but he had obviously strained his right front leg and whenever he got up from resting, he appeared very stiff. Once moving, four to five steps later, the lameness was less noticiable, but it was still there. I treated him with a homeopathic remedy and figured a 6 mile walk was definitely not going to help the situation, so he had to stay home and rest. How upset was he when he saw me get ready to go out and he had to stay home! And he had to stay home all day, no afternoon romp either. So today he is looking fine so we will be treating him to an extra special outing. I am looking forward to this family outing too!
Here are photos of the first time we ever brought Riley to a beach. This is Wingersheek Beach when Riley was just 6 months old.
