beach trip!

its the best time of year for a beach trip with wombat (only cuz she's anti-social with other dogs and this way we can let her run muzzle free). we had to go down to barwon heads to check out a couple venues for our wedding reception. the one that would be perfect has a market going on in it until 1pm the day of our wedding (if only feb had 1 more day in it-- 30days cuz its a leap year anyway), then our wedding wouldn't be the last sat of the month and there wouldn't be a market). we found another really cool option though which might be the easiest way (especially considering we haven't heard anything back from the caterers we want as to whether they will cater in barwon heads). anyway, after all the venue checking out we took wombat (who was very patient waiting in the car) to a beach. we know of 2 beaches near barwon heads/torquay that are good for her. we went to the first one but before we even parked the car we saw dogs everywhere (there's houses all over the place so everyone was taking their dog down to the beach or just letting them roam free in their unfenced yards) so we went for the nude beach near torquay (its in the middle of nowhere and i don't think many people would trek up there when there's so many beaches that aren't so hard to get to)

here's the rain in the distance when we started looking for a good beach for wombat:

rainbow on the beach:

wombat is NOT impressed with the sandy face she got fetching the ball (but she still did it repeatedly)

beautiful girl:

fetching a ball (she even went in the water to get it a few times!!):

exploring the beach (she just kinda trotted off ahead of us, ignored us calling her then just went straight into the water up to her belly!! we were a little worried she was just gonna walk out to sea and we'd never see her again):

after that photo was taken she turned around, pooped in the ocean and then trotted back to us!! i can't believe she did that!!!! if she'd gone on the beach we had bags to pick it up but she went in the ocean and it washed away before we got anywhere near it!
