If there’s one thing that’s amazing it’s watching a puppy’s first day on a beach. OK, if there’s one thing that’s amazing to watch it’s watching your child take their first steps, but NEARLY as amazing is a puppy’s first time on a beach. OK, maybe it’s seeing your child taking their first breath, then taking their first step, but after that, it’s definitely a puppy at the beach. Definitely. And today, thanks to our new friends Dawn and Parker, and their amazing pooch Freddy, I got to experience that today. TOTAL JOY.

Many thanks to the great Steve Martin for the unlicensed use of his joke.
