Updated! Perth Dolers Beach Meet!

[Weasels]

Right - who can't do Sunday 8th January? Is a Sunday better?

8.30am until whenever it gets too hot?

If the weather forecast is looking too warm we could put a post in here to advise who isnt coming.

+1 dog and 1 human

[RubyStar]

im happy with that. Are we bringing food as well? will have to make my jelly slice. Would love to have a swim with your girls RS. Do they swim just for the fun of it or do you have to throw a ball out? monte will only get in the water if i chuck the ball out and ever then he will only wade not swim.

Food might not be a wise idea with all that sand and water around? Just a thought But I remember your jelly slice and it was yum, so feel free to bring some

Ruby goes for a swim for the fun of it, but doesn't go far out unless she has a reason to. That being either something thrown for her, or a human out in the water calling her over. So I'm sure she will go swimming with you if you want! Millie isn't a fan of water but will now go out to fetch her kong wubba or if I wade out and call her out she is sometimes enticed

Some of my photos from Kwinana Beach

Are you bringing your guys?

At this point in time, 8.30am Sunday the 8th works for me. Maybe even 8 am - gasp gasp I am suggesting an earlier time

Who are you and what have you done with RubyStar????

Wasn't Cockburn beach was it? Apparently that one has bleak grey sand, I've never been there though just saw it on the Good Dog site once

Hmmm, possibly! To be honest, I've only been there once or twice and wasn't sure myself what it was technically called or what part I went to! Maybe I will meet you at your place and follow behind you as you're on the way anyway :p

Did you go to the 'seaweed beach' further south towards Waikiki? There is a big variation in the quality of beaches, with Rockingham foreshore and safety bay being very narrow beaches, but there are much nicer ones in the area I haven't been to Kwinana beach myself yet, but I might check it out next week (wooo holidays!)

(E: quality also varies considerably depending on the time of year)

yes, and time of day.

Absolutely, both the beaches and the people are much nicer in the morning! The few times I have been in the evening it has been much windier and I've had a couple of (minor) items stolen. And yet I've left thongs, leads, etc. at the end of the beach hundreds of times in the morning and they were safe every single time.

This is a video of one of the dog beaches just south of Garden Island (about 5-10 mins drive from Kwinana beach) taken last summer - sorry about the shaky camera!

Great video, looks lovely

I was too lazy to go to the beach this morning, got up at 10am. Sooooooooooo needed the sleep in after getting up at 6 every morning!! Weasels, I won't be going to the beach tomorrow like I said I might. Catch up with you at this DOL meet

[RubyStar]

I'm trying to talk my mum into coming to the DOL beach meet too so she can bring Pippa

[Weasels]

RS I understand - I haven't walked the dogs since Monday now I know OH is on holidays and he can do it at a more reasonable hour! :p

[Mason_Gibbs]

I will try come will bring both mine but may need help keeping an eye out if its very busy. Im going to be at hillarys this AM by 8:45 if anyone is keen

[chicko]

i would have come this morning mason but Misha got groomed yesterday so not keen on getting her dirty just yet!

[RubyStar]

If I lived closer to Hillary's I would have. But I took the girls to the local lake yesterday for some training and they got covered in lake goo, so they had a bath last night ready for Christmas, they smell good enough to So I want them to stay sweet smelling a little longer :D

[chicko]

im spoilt, i live across the road

[Lab_Rat]

I did the poll, even though I wont be attending.........I just like doing polls!

Travelling to Perth in the hot Summer is something I only do if I have to, and generally do it without the dogsters!

I hope you guys have a fantabulous time at the beach with all your gorgeous dogsters - I am a bit jealous

[Mason_Gibbs]

Can some1 post directions to the beach we meeting at??

[Weasels]

Kwinana Freeway -> Right on Thomas Rd -> Left on Rockingham Rd -> Right on Kwinana Beach Rd should do it There's a car park just behind Wells Park on KB Rd.

Edit - I think anyway I'm just going by google earth...

Ok no worries, not entirely sure that i will make it - its a very long drive for us, about 1,5 hrs i think

[CrazyCresties]

Count me in, I need to get my two to a beach with some understanding dog people who are aware of Louis 'issues'
