The word “frisbee” has to be spoken with care in this household. Just mention of the f-word can throw Pongo into convulsions of excitement. Pongo loves playing frisbee. And while he will be no professional disc dog, that boy sure can fly!
There’s no doubt that after a session of frisbee, we always have one happy and worn out dog.
It’s that time again…when the dread starts mounting and the countdown begins. I’m way past the countdown part though–I’m grasping at my final hours of summertime freedom. Yes sadly (at least for me), I head back to work tomorrow. As usual, summer break has flown by; it feels like I just got out of school and now it’s time to go back. Not a good feeling.
I wanted to make the most of today and the nice weather we had this morning, so Pongo and I walked the mile, from the Kincaid Chalet, down the Coastal Trail to spend some time at Kincaid Beach. We were so fortunate in that we had the whole beach to ourselves!
Pongo enjoyed wrangling his log in and out of the water…
While Mama tried to capture a very distant Mount McKinley and Mount Foraker.
The frisbee came out and Pongo quickly discovered: sand + mud = one very nasty and dirty frisbee.
But he used his problem-solving skills and made sure that frisbee was clean each time he brought it back.
Washing off the frisbee though didn’t necessarily mean that Pongo also came out clean.
But we tried to rinse him off every now and then, too.
Pongo and I had a wonderful day at the beach-enjoying our last day of summer break!
