Okay — this wasn’t a motorcycle trip, but it was motorcycle related. My dogs, Nikki and Ellie, are so good about being home alone for long periods of time with the neighbors popping in occasionally to feed them and let them out so that I can take off on motorcycle trips. I think they deserve a treat once in a while as a reward for their patience. This time the treat was going to the ocean for the first time and being surf dogs.
As yellow labs they have an unbounded exuberance for water as it is — their reckless abandon in the ocean had everyone on the beach laughing. Ellie (the younger one) was a natural at surf. She got put underwater by one wave and from then on knew to leap up when a wave approached. She even sensed when they were coming from behind (when she was heading back to shore) and did the same thing. Nikki was a little slower to catch on, but both instinctively knew how to handle the waves and loved it.
This is the slide show that includes some other pictures and probably way too many pictures of the dogs.
