Archie enjoying the sun

We discovered a wonderful spot last week for dog lovers to enjoy the summer--Sandbanks Provincial Park has a beautiful section of the Sandbanks beach open to dogs.  It seemed as if every third group on the beach was accompanied by a dog (or two!) enjoying the sand and water.  One beach-goer commented it was 'facebook for dogs'
