In early September, we took Mochi to Fort Funston, based on the recommendation and experience my sister had bringing her dog there. It's the first beach/national park I've been to that officially allows dogs to roam around off leash. We thought he would have a good time at the beach since he didn't seem too scared after the first time we put him in a swimming pool. That time, we gently put him in the pool, and then he frantically swam to whatever edge seemed closest. He let us do that a few times, so we figured he isn't as fearful of water as his cousin Joey.
Of course, mochimommy was quite worried about a 13-lb dog getting swept away by the current, so as soon as we reached the beach she prayed, "Jesus, keep him safe!" Jesus delivered and we all returned home in one piece. Of course, that didn't stop mochimommy from shooting serious eyes at mochidaddy with a stern, "protect my dog" every time mochidaddy lured Mochi to the shallow pool to play in.
Joey stuck as far away from the shoreline as possible, so we didn't see the usual Mochi & Joey show at the beach until we hiked back up to the cars. Joey was much happier away from the water. Here's uncle kento and auntie jenny admiring Mochi's lack of fear when it comes to the water.
