Red Dog Loves Cannon Beach !

 I ( Hawk ) love Cannon Beach , Oregon !

 Why not ? I get to spend a lot of time with my best friend there and we love to throw ( him ) and retrieve ( me, that's my job ) tennis balls on the beach.

 We get to eat out together in town and just about every shop seems to have a doggy water bowl out front and many of them give me treats. Yum yum.

 I had to wear a coat this time when I went to Cannon Beach because it was cold. But that didn't stop me from one of my favorite activities....

 ...retrieving tennis balls ! I am pretty dog dang good at this too, even though I get a mouthful of sand every time I dive for the ball.

 At the end of every day I was pretty tired with all the retrieving and snacking, so we would head for the Hallmark Inn where we were staying. They have dog friendly rooms and our room was not only dog- friendly, we had a full ocean view, including views of Haystack Rock and Tillamook Rock Lighthouse. Plus, we had a kitchen and a fireplace. Hallmark Inn gave me a doggy bag with lots of cool treats.

 

 My best friend put my bed near the fireplace which suited me just fine.

Red Dogs In The Snow

Joy oh joy~ snow!

We love the snow , especially if we smell wild birds near by.

Yup, wild turkeys and grouse...where is my shooting hunter-master?

We Want to Play Too !

From left to right : Misty, Beatrix, Willow, and Hawk all look on wistfully from the porch as we play with puppies. They want to play too !

Here you can see some of the color range in Yellow Labs. Sienna, who is not shown is almost as red as the only Vizsla, on the far right. Misty is almost white ,sisters Beatrix and Willow, daughters of Sienna, are the yellow most typical of Yellow Labs.

Red Puppies !

The day before Halloween our red dog, an AKC registered yellow Labrador Retriever named Sienna, gave birth to her litter of 6 puppies. Yes, I said our RED dog, a Yellow Lab. The color yellow in Labrador retrievers runs from fox red to white.....obviously our Sienna is at the darker end of the yellow spectrum for Labradors. We think she is rather pretty. The father of this litter is our AKC registered Vizsla , Hawk. A red father, and a red mother make 6 red puppies !

Aren't they cute ?

Our cat, Miss Marple checks them out...what are they ? Rats...big mice...rabbits?.....

Sienna is a very good and attentive mother with plenty of milk. After feeding her pups she cleans them well.

Grandchildren play with the puppies.
