The day this was shot was a big day for me – my first trip to the dog beach at Honeymoon Island State Park. This photo captures a major moment…my very first time to dip my paw into the Gulf of Mexico. Look how wide my eyes are…clearly I wasn’t too sure about this.

Thanks to My Life in Blog Years , You Did What with Your Wiener and Dachshund Nola for hosting the Black and White Sunday blog hop.

About Gizmo
Hi! I'm Gizmo...a handsome terrier-about-town with a distinct point of view. I will write about whatever interesting things come across my desk, appear on my twitter feed @GizmoGeodog, or meet me out on the geotrails.
I love to geocache cause it takes me to all the wild places & I can get back to being a real dog.
I care about all my brofurs & sisfurs who haven't found their own forever homes yet, & raise funds to help them whenever I can.
My girl brought me home from the shelter & together we explore our world. I do my best to make her smile, & she does her best for me. We are a team.
Shudder…. I would never go in the water. You are very brave. The Producer is waiting for the right moment to introduce junior to the beach and the sea. As a PudleHund he should love it!
Hiya Zena! It was scary but my furrienddog Sparky was there too & I couldn’t let her see me not being brave…Water is not really a terrier’s element is it…after all we’re EARTH dogs! Your poodle brofur will like it a lot better I think *snoogles*
Hey Giz, Jet here. Hi Miss JG.
Did you enjoy? The photo makes you look like a Baywatch Dude! I’m STILL waiting for Mom to take us to the beach, hmpf…
Well Jet, Can’t say I totally loved it…but I did like the running on the beach part a lot…and the digging in the sand part too…Your mom really needs to get you to the ocean…you will love the waves! *snoogles* to you, JJ and Miss L!
i soooo love that photo! It’s adorable!
Thank you…For a scruffy little guy he can take a cute picture 🙂
You are a brave dog… I don’t like water … but I love the beach too … if we have ebb tide ;o)
My mom loves the beach so I had to give it a try for her…Truth is I liked the sand a lot bettr than the water 🙂
mee tooo – specially if I’ll find a dead fish ;o)
oooh i do love a good stinky thing…till mom takes it away BOL!
I never went to a beach. Mom doesn’t like the sand. I went to a lake once and didn’t even want to put my paws in the water much less go for a swim. Mom says that terriers are ratters and are known for running along the shoreline. Dry land is fine for me. You are one brave dog.
Did you go in for a swim?
Mom was in the water and I swam out to her, but not very far…I like hikes in the woods a whole lot better…it’s that earth dog thing
