Sydney Weekend - c'mon let's go!

Hello all. I am back! Thank you for being so patient whilst I was off planning our wedding and apologies I've been off the grid for as long as I have.
 
However, with the wedding behind us and life as a family before us, it is time to get back into the important business of documenting our lives as dog parents.
 
I was in Sydney on the weekend to see Sculptures by the Sea and was delighted to stumble across what looked like a puppy pool party. In actual fact it was many savvy dog parents taking their pups for a dip at Mackenzies Bay, the rocky outcrop between Bondi and Bronte Beaches.
It was a delightful scene to watch, and of course me being me insisted on stopping to admire for a while.
 
 
 
It was a 34 degree Celsius day, not a cloud in the sky. The ocean was bringing in a steady stream of waves, but not so large or fierce to overwhelm and on an unassuming rock ledge were at least 15 dogs and their owners enjoying a dip and even sunbake. Most were off - lead and enjoying the social aspect of the day also. My favorite pup was a black lab chasing his ball as it was rocked around a pool by the waves. There were also surfer dogs who jumped into the waves and swam their way back to the shore.
 
The excited lab chasing his ball..
 
Once a dip was had these pups were content to wander back to their parents who were enjoying the spectacle from the warm rocks.. Some looked settled in for the long haul, others just passed through for a cool day. All came back up with a rapidly wagging tail and huge goofy smile.
 
Bliss.
 
 
Unfortunately I hadn't taken our pups to Sydney that day. But if we are planning another trip over the spring/summer, Mackenzies Bay will definitely be on our list to check out.
 
Forever love your dog,
Emma
