** This is a copy of a post I sent over to A Brindle in Belgium.....She posts pictures of our dogs for the Boxer Mailing List..... more to be continued of mine and Michael's point of view tomorrow :) **
We took Libby on our trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina this past week. She LOVED it! Especially the water and hunting for fiddler crabs.
We stayed on Hatteras Island . Hatteras is one of the main tourist attractions of the Outer Banks, next to where the Wright Brothers first made their flight in Kitty Hawk .
The Outer Banks is very undeveloped in many places. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore is incredible. We didn’t see maybe 50-60 people on the beach at any given time. Most had their dogs with them, which the outer banks are the only NC beaches that allow dogs year round Many of the hotels and rental houses are dog friendly.
Here, Libby is looking for her Boston Terrier friend she had made earlier.
Libby and I checking out the waves. She loved the water, but when the waves would go back out, she would jump straight up in the air because of the sand pulling against her paws, lol. She would go out about chest deep and also try to “eat” the foam from the water.
Attacking the foam and waves
Not only were there fiddlers, but there were also horseshoe crabs, too. They didn’t wanna play as much as the fiddlers.
Every morning, we would go out at sunrise and Libby discovered the joys of chasing and digging for fiddler crabs. Once she figured out that the were holes where they went, she would dig to China
And she was always so pleased with herself :p
We visited the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. It’s the tallest brick lighthouse in the nation.
Come on mom or me and dad are gonna get all the crabs!
