The dogs went to the beach for the first time!

Lucy loves water, and loves to swim. She's crazy about it. Last trip home, she did a running dive into the Macintyre river in Inverell and tried to swim out and catch the ducks. I almost fell in trying to fish her out, because every time I'd get close she'd swim out again.

Charlie, not so much. All he needs is a puddle to cool off in and he's happy. 

I took the camera, and these are some of the shots I managed to get. I REALLY wanted one of the dogs shaking the water off, but Charlie does that whole cocker spaniel thing and doesn't shake until he's ran back up the beach to give the ball back. Lucy moves way too fast.
