My friends and I took our doggies to the beach today. 4 dogs and 4 people in total. We ended up having to take 2 cars to get everyone there (only because my friend forgot to renew her inspection sticker on her SUV). It went pretty well considering how excited our dogs can get when they get to go traveling. You'd be amazed at how much excitement a lab mix, a Swiss shepherd, a malitpoo, and a cockapoo can cause, lol. My little one barely barked at all, which is good. She's gotten a lot better around strangers. The only time she flipped out was when this guy came running at us trying to catch a frisbee. She was only trying to protect us four girls from the guy and his flying disk, lol.
We walked along the shore for a few hours and then we went to eat dinner. Bringfido.com is a really useful site to find dog friendly restaurants. I saw one of the restaurants listed right across the street so we decided to eat there. Yum burgers! Quite an adventure getting the dogs across the street, up the stairs to the patio area of the restaurant, to their drinking fountain, and finding ways to tie them to the chair/table/fence/whatever we could find. We ended up tying the 2 younger dogs on the side closer the fence so they were farthest from the walkway and then the 2 older dogs were tied on opposite corners (we found out that the 2 older dogs get cranky when they get too close). We had this system going where 2 people would order food/potty break while the other 2 watched the dogs and then we switched off.
Afterwards we went in hunt for a grass patch for the doggies to go potty on. Remember kids: always pick up your doggie's poo 'cause that's the nice thing to do! Then we went home. My doggies slept the whole say back and then went on sleeping once they climbed into their beds. Yep. I would definitely qualify today as a successful adventure!
