Morning at the beach

I spent the morning on the strand in Manhattan Beach. It's my favorite place to go on a walk. There was a lot of activity today. I saw a lot of other dogs who were out on walks. Some "roasted" at me. Lots of barking and lunging. I was on my best behavior and managed to stay out of trouble. I get really anxious when other dogs get in my personal space. I like to protect my family and prefer that other dogs keep their distance. If I want to sniff them, I prefer to approach. I went to my friend Snow's house to say "hi". She was up on her balcony getting some sun and checking out the view. I feel bad for Snow because her mom always keeps her inside. She never gets to come down and play. I know she wants to come down and tussle. My dad has a secret whistle that he makes when we walk by her house. She always runs out on her balcony when we are waiting for her. Here is a picture of Snow out on her balcony. She's very pretty.
