A week ago we headed to the coast to enjoy a rare sunny day. Romeo had chemo on Wednesday, felt a bit crummy on Thursday and was perking up by Friday. We hadn’t taken the dogs to the beach in ages and the news that Romeo still had no visible metastases in his lungs seemed like a good reason to celebrate with an outing.
Oregon’s beaches are rarely warm but if the sun is out it can at least be pretty and pleasant as long as you’re bundled up. So we packed up the hats and scarves and loaded up Romeo and Julio for the drive.
Once we got there, the dogs loitered around the picnic table while Trent and I ate lunch. Then we headed down the steep path the the beach. Romeo managed quite well. But after all the standing while we ate lunch and the walk down hill he was pretty tired.
We didn’t walk far before we found a spot to sit and soak up the sun. As expected, the wind was blowing a fair amount.
Julio's hair is especially fun in the breeze
Watching the beach happenings together
He looked like he was having fun
Really, I didn't leave my dog with a homeless guy. I happen to know this bum.
See, Trent actually does like Julio
It's exhausting being out and about
Yep. Exhausting.
I like how Julio barely looks like a dog here. You can also see how much Romeo's hair has grown back since his surgery.
