The Beach

I was so mad at myself because we went to the beach before Fun Day but stupid me left my camera card in my computer and so couldn't take pictures of Shermans first beach experience. He had so much fun though. He loved the water. I put him on a long line and he would jump over the waves and into the water and then paddle back to shore. He got sopping wet and drank half the ocean. He ran around in the sand too and loved that. The beach we went to the first time was a dog friendly beach. The second time it was not and the lifeguard asked that I keep his jacket on so that people wouldn't think that they could bring their dogs. I didn't want him playing much in the water because I try not to get his puppy coat too dirty. It did get dirty though with the sand at the water but I washed it really good when we got home. :)

San Francisco

So, after the first Fun Day I lost my Internet connection so now I have to play catch up. The next Monday me and my sisters went to San Francisco. It was a lot of fun and we did a lot of the touristy stuff. :)

We parked at Union Square and walked around a bit before getting passes to ride the trolley. We took it down to Fishermans wharf and then back at the end of the day. He did really well on the trolley and enjoyed the bumpy ride. I remember last year with Adeline it took so much coaxing to get Adeline to even get on the Trolley and then she was kinda stressed on the way there and back. Poor girl. I was really relieved that Sherman took to it so well. It wasn't until that day when I learned that Sherman has a major bird distraction problem. We will have to work on that. (We don't have many birds around where I live) He was very focused on them and it was hard to get his attention back. Darn pigeons are just more interesting than I am.
We got to Fishermans Wharf around noon and where hungry so we stopped in a restaurant and had the most delicious sea food EVER. And as always Sherman waited patiently under the table until we were done.
After lunch we took a boat ride under the GG bridge and then around Alcatraz. It was so fun getting that close to the bridge and Alcatraz. Sherman did really well on the boat too and the tour guides were really nice to let us get on with him. This is probably the only time he will ever get on a boat while he is with me so I am glad that he got the opportunity to do it. It was really fun for the peeps as well. :)

We went on got Sundaes at Ghirardelli, they were delicious!!!

I couldn't resist.

This is by the Trolley getting ready to go home. He did so good doing all that walking but was so happy to go home. He was very tired.
