Working people - and dogs

Apparently there's a beach in Whitley Bay where 1/2 is people only and 1/2 dogs are allowed - and people set up picnics in the dog bit ... and then moan because there's dogs on the beach .... OMG if they had a brain they'd be dangerous!:mad:

They remind me of someone who has posted on this thread, no prizes for guessing who though.

I took my two to the beach for the first time this summer just gone (and from their reaction I think it was the first time in their lives!). It was absolutely amazing, miles of empty beach and they were in heaven. It must be wonderful living close enough to go every day.

Although they did stink to high heaven afterwards...

I'm taking mine (Ozzie the lab, almost 3 years old) to the beach for possibly (we've only had him 6 months) his first time in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to see his reaction, he loves swimming.

Maisie and I are very, very lucky - we have some fabulous beaches around here and, in the summer, go every day

She was really funny when I got her (she'd obviously never been to the beach) and wouldn't walk on it :eek: - took her a while to get the hang of it but she absolutely LOVES it now!

I love going Sept/Oct - March/April time - as we quite often have the whole beach to ourselves

Not a good pic of her - but shows us enjoying "our" beach



Harder in the winter due to the dark mornings / nights, but we do go at the weekends (and looking forward to tomorrow - beach above is too far for everyday but it's our Sunday treat so .... fingers crossed it's not pelting down again!)

Is that Whitley Bay then? (Mentally planning for a trip in the spring...)

I love it to, although I need to find a quieter beach, we are about a 40 minute drive from the Ayrshire coast in Scotland but most beaches there ( Ayr, Troon etc) are heaving with people in the summer, I think there are some quieter ones on the West Coast but need to seek them out

Suppose if I went today it would have been quiet but it was cold and wet enough here !!

Well if you're coming up to Whitley Bay it's just up the road!

Whitley bay is my local beach, Lenny loves it. There's a few within a few miles of each other. Tynemouth longsands, Whitley bay and Seaton Sluice beach, all lovely long stretches!

Not many people around this time of year unless it's a fine day!

Since the clocks changed I've been getting up 30mins earlier in the morning so the girls can go out and if there's no other dogs about they can go off lead. At night we can still walk round our local park as some of the paths are lit up and I put them on flexi leads but we love our early morning walks (bit nippy but lovely sunshine at the mo). Been a bit emotional this year though as lost my big lad in August and he hated walking in the dark so have been think of him lots when me and the girls go on our evening walk.s
