my new puppy monster

He loves to pick things up

[oldmansurfer]

My wife hurt her ankle so we decided to do a flat walk along the bike path instead of the hill we usually hike

[oldmansurfer]

He can't even wait for the leaves to fall on the ground

[oldmansurfer]

This bike path goes right by the beach I usually surf. This is the rivermouth through the trees

there are educational plaques a long this part of the path

Just to give you a flavor of the island

Congratulations on the new arrival oldmansurfer!
Thanks for a little insight into the area that you surf, looks like a great location.

[Big H]

Good looking dog....they have lots of energy! Thanks for the pics from the nature walk as well!

[RobSF]

Get him started early!

[oldmansurfer]

He would love to grab and shake my surfboard like he does everything else

Ol' Man,

my new puppy monster

He looks lean and fast!
Will you teach him to body surf?

[oldmansurfer]

Right now he is afraid of the water. I will try to remedy that but not too sure how far in that direction he will go. I have got him to walk through shallow water by the river but he is scared of the waves

[oldmansurfer]

There are some interesting breaks along this bike path

I assume this is for visitors since locals don't need this warning

[oldmansurfer]

At the end of the path there is a bridge to the beach

There are many different ways to get to the beach on this bridge

Even a slide on the end but I haven't seen anyone on the bridge itself although it looks fun

I don't think these guys used the slide to get to the beach but I have been told there is a break here that is easy for us older guys to surf however if you have been reading my posts in the recent surf thread then you should know that easy isn't important to me

[billie_morini]

Ol' Man,
how about a Hudzley update, please?

[oldmansurfer]

Well he is definitely not a Jack Russell and looks like probably a pointer instead. Here he is about 5 months old maybe 60 to 70 percent of his full grown size. He has been a very difficult dog to raise. Although he looks like a pointer I am sure he is 100% Pestasaurus (but I love him). He is slowly getting the idea of what we consider acceptable behavior. That is Oldwomansurfer

[billie_morini]

Thanks, Ol' Man! Those.freckled legs sure say English Setter or, possibly, Pointer. The puppy pbotos do look like Jack Russell terrier. Maybe Hudzley is a mix of jack russel and setter / pointer. Interesting he's been difficult to train. Some puppies are.like that. He'll turn out all right.

Fun to see Oldwomensurfer, too. Thanks!

If he has any terrier / jack Russell
In him then expect many more years of pestasaurus! Grew up with a fox terrier,
Never again!
