Huntington Dog Beach

One of the advantages of living in Southern California is the weather.  Even into November, we were still averaging mid 70s and still relatively no rain.  We heard a lot of the beaches around here were dog friendly, and since Mo had never been to the ocean, we figured this was an experience that we had to try.

From my perspective, I wanted to see how Mo would act, not only around a lot of other dogs, but with the waves.  I thought it would be a fairly humorous experience at the least, and was willing to tag along.  The beaches in general are only about 30-45 minutes away, so it's not too bad of a drive.

When we arrived, Mo was so excited, but you could tell he wasn't sure how he was suppose to handle the sand.  He loved seeing the other dogs, but there were some HUGE dogs there, and while he loved looking, he wasn't crazy about getting too close.  Most dogs there were off the leash, but being Mo's first trip, we decided to leave him on.  He loved running around in the sand, but wasn't crazy about the incoming waves. 

After some time on the beach, we walked along the beach for about an hour and watched the sunset.  It was a great trip, and one hopefully we will make again in the near future.  Maybe this time we will let Mo off the leash.
