i grew up at lake tahoe, i have the best memories my first dog and i doing everything together, i wanted a touch of that magic today as i taught rosie how to swim. i wanted to go to my old stomping grounds, but times have changed drastically, 50 years later there is no parking or access to the places i loved. they have put in a beautiful walking path for that 3 mile stretch, but easy access is now limited at both ends only, and dogs are allowed with leashes only at just a scant few beaches.
i was heartbroken when we were relegated to rocky riff raff area for the dogs to cool their feet instead of the white beaches i loved.
Rosie didn't take to swimming on her own, Katie has always loved the water, but I needed to join them so I could guide Rosie into swimming, hence no pics of Rosie swimming, I was in the lake with them!
Within the hour she was swimming out with Katie to find sticks, I could not be any more proud of her!
Beautiful photos of your sweet pups! Glad Rosie decided to take a dip! We are going to be in Lake Tahoe in August and can't wait...it's been several years since we visited. One of my favorite places on earth!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you stay when you go?
DeleteOh the pups look happy. I am so glad Rosie learned to swim. Bella swam today. Makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteDoggy bliss! Such great shots and beautiful scenery with the mountains in the background in your first two photos. Did Cassie stay at home?
ReplyDeleteGood job, Rosie and Mom! The dogs look so happy. When we had Buddy, our golden, we would take him to a dog friendly beach, but I was so afraid when he got a little bit in the water that he would be swept away because he had no fear so he didn't get to swim much..Hope you are staying cool..xxoJudy
