Crazy Mutt

Well, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous since I got back to LA. Sunny and sooo warm. It's been in the 80's! I took Bella to both the dog park and dog beach this weekend. I couldn't resist the warm weather and neither could she! I took a few pictures at the beach I will upload when I get some more AA batteries for my camera. The beach where I take Bella has an unspoken rule that dogs can be off leash...even though county/city laws require a 6 foot leash. So, as always I let Bella run free and roam the beach/water at her leisure. The crazy little mutt got in trouble this time though. She decided to climb the hill of rocks about 40 feet to the sidewalk up above the beach and start running around like a crazy woman. I had to climb, barefoot, camera in hand up the rocks to then chase after her while a man in a wheel chair attempted to help me. (thanks guy, but when Bella knows the race is on, an Olympic athlete couldn't even catch her). She finally gave in and let me get her. I then I had to walk on the rocks, barefoot, camera in hand, nearly a quarter of a mile until I found a place safe enough to climb back down to the beach, while holding my 32lbs. dog. My arm still hurts. At least she didn't run off into the parking lot...or worse, the Pacific Coast Highway! What a little brat she can be. I guess that's what I get for spoiling her two days in a row! I am going to have to rethink letting her off leash at the beach from now on! Oh Bella...
