Looks like Peach also enjoys playing in the sand, judging from the belly-rubbing trail behind him! I wonder what a dog thinks when he/she sees a vast expanse of ocean for the first time? My last dog, a Bernese, never saw the ocean, but he did see some lakes from lakeside cottages. He was interested in the view, but unlike many dogs, hated to go in the water. Went in once as a puppy, came right back out, and declared, “never again!”. Here he is with my son, surveying the lake at sunset. He loved looking out over the water, just never wanted to be in it! [![](https://i.imgur.com/DCslZ6M.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/DCslZ6M.jpeg) OK, that’s enough looking, now back to the cottage for some snacks!

Well. of course she has a big smile on her face – who wouldn’t, with four cute puppies in her arms! 🙂 [![](https://i.cbc.ca/1.7630513.1757536079!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/original_1180/natalie-harris.jpg?im=Resize%3D1180) ](https://i.cbc.ca/1.7630513.1757536079!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/original_1180/natalie-harris.jpg?im=Resize%3D1180) Unfortunately the reality is a little darker – this is in support of the **[Ontario SPCA foster program](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-spca-temporary-foster-1.7630456)** which is looking for volunteers to temporarily foster dogs for a period of up to several months, who otherwise would have no one to care for them.

You should totally lean into that and get some extra glow-in-the-dark bling (some bat wings maybe) for a special cat-based Halloween. ---

I’ve been down in California for the past week visiting my parents and some friends. This is Boots, sitting on my dad’s lap. He’s a big boy. [![](https://i.imgur.com/Zt3FFk9.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/Zt3FFk9.jpeg) The thing is, he’s not their cat. Yet. He belongs to the neighbor, who got him about a month ago. Her kids decided she needed a cat, so went down to the local shelter and got this guy for her. He is one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever met. When his owner lets him out, he comes running over to my parent’s house and begins rubbing himself all over everything, jumping in laps, and so on. They’re in a retirement community, so Boots’ home is really close - that lattice behind my dad is the neighbor’s front door. I think Boots would rather live with my parents. They are still in denial at this point. They have one cat, and don’t want more. But I can tell my mom is saying that halfheartedly. We shall see what happens. ---
