Anyone have a dog that loves the beach ? Tell me your story in the comments.
🐾 Mocha knows when she wants to go to the beach, and once she makes up her mind, everybody in the house is going to know about it.
She starts by standing near the door and staring at me.
Not a normal stare either.
It’s that serious German Shepherd stare that says, “I’ve reviewed the situation, and we should already be in the Jeep.”
If I ignore her, she lets out a long whine.
Then another one.
Then she throws all 81 pounds of herself onto the floor and starts rolling around like I just canceled the beach forever.
She rolls from side to side, kicks her feet, groans, whines, and carries on like she’s being forced to live through the worst day in dog history.
Nothing is wrong with her.
She just wants to chase seagulls.
I’ll tell her, “Mocha, not yet,” and that only makes things worse.
She looks at me like I’ve personally betrayed her, lets out another loud whine, and rolls across the floor again.
Then she starts following me from room to room.
She’ll drop down in the hallway.
She’ll block the kitchen.
She’ll lay across my feet.
Basically, the house turns into an 81-pound German Shepherd roadblock.
The second I pick up the Jeep keys, the whole medical emergency disappears.
She jumps up like she was never sick a day in her life and runs straight to the door.
No whining.
No rolling.
No weak legs.
It’s a miracle.
🐾 Once we get to the beach, she runs around chasing seagulls that have absolutely no intention of being caught, sniffing everything she can find, and acting like she owns the whole shoreline.
Then she comes home covered in sand, drinks some water, flops down on the floor, and sleeps like she just worked a twelve-hour shift.
Until the next time, when she decides it’s beach time again and the entire performance starts right back up.
