This is Echo visiting the beach for her first time.  It was a drizzly day, especially on the coast, but this did not seem to bother Echo much.  She played in the water, unlike my past GSDs, and even grabbed pieces of floating kelp and tossed them merrily into the air.   Sprinkler chasing Echo, had quite a bit of fun snapping at the tiny waves close to shore as well.  We met other dogs and she had a great time playing with them.   In fact, she was so excited about meeting some dogs on the other side of the channel, that she went diving in.  Little did she know that she would sink, but she learned to swim *VERY* quickly!  I hope that you enjoy the following photos of her!
