Shimmy goes to the Beach

Shimmy had a super fun weekend going to Galveston and the beach. I can't stress enough how proud I am of my little girl. She's not a big water dog, but we worked on being comfortable swimming and the waves coming at her. She's still not a huge fan of the waves, but is starting to enjoy it more and more. Debra's girls, Jenni and Shelby, are avid beach goers and showed Shimmer that the water and the beach really aren't that bad. Yesterday, she did a lot of swimming and we rode the ferry to and from Bolivar Island. Sadly, dog have to stay in the car, so Shimmy didn't get to watch the dolphins with me, but she did get to ride on a ferry! Today we just spent a little while at the beach, and then headed to The Spot, for lunch. The dogs were allowed outside on the patio so they really felt special being able to come eat lunch with us. The food was awesome, by my standards, and I think Shimmer really enjoyed the bits and pieces she got as well. I posted some but not all pictures to facebook and will add a few here. Got lots of great shots though, and a very tired dog now. She's been laying under my bed sleeping and dreaming since we got back about 1 hour ago. Also, puppies turn one week old tomorrow. I can hardly believe it! They're growing up quickly. I'll be getting a weigh in update as well as pictures later. Might post those, might not. It really just depends. Doctors appointment and what not tomorrow. Then Tuesday night we have agility class, we might head back to College Station Thursday to get some more things up there, since I have accumulated a shitload throughout the summer. That's still a maybe though. Then it's one more weekend in Houston. We go back to College Station August 19th. School starts in 3 weeks and 1 day...um ew. Hopefully, I'll be able to survive this semester. Omelette Dog is going to have to start brushing up on her Calculus, Physics, and Organic Chemistry so she can help me with homework!
