(4 paws, that is)

Only in California - right? I can't really even walk without tripping. And yet there are dogs that are able to surf. And they were pretty good! Meaning several were surfing at one time and they were able to not only stay up, but kind of steer so they didn't hit each other! Gnarly, dude.

I took the girls to Del Mar Dog Beach to watch this competition, a charitable event for an animal shelter near here. Oh yeah it was so California. Not only were there surfing dogs, but it was so laid back. Other people brought their nonsurfer dogs so there were dogs running all over the beach. There was also a doggie costume competition. Judged by some chick who won a surfing competition on MTV and another gal who looked like she had spent my annual salary on plastic surgery and hosts a show on E!

The girls enjoyed some all-natural smoothies with wheat grass. And we think sometimes we are very, very far away from Chicago.
