Beach time with Cocoa

In the first week of Spring holidays, we took Cocoa for her longest roadie since we drove her home from the rescue farm when we first got her.... Not massive, but a good solid 30 minutes down to Brighton to the famous Brighton dog park, a fenced off section of beach; looking out at the marina and the city.

She ran like a mad dog, and we traipsed after her hoping she wouldn't crash through people's picnics or beach towels in her crazy dash for new friends. 

She swam for the first time and drank heaps of salt water, wrestled a few dogs and played heaps of chasey. 

We put her back on leash once to take her out in the water, and actually, she did really well...generally speaking.
