It was a grey Monday morning in Camber Sands – and Barnaby and I have put on our matching red Equafleeces 
Waiting for Dante and his daddies to give us a ride to the beach!
We went to the main car park and all of us were eager to go out for a run. We couldn’t wait for the others!
But first, 
we had to ward off some BIG dogs
There, you guys stay over there and we’ll play here.
And George seemed to love rolling on the sand –
Mummy said – thank goodness for the Equafleece!
And then they came!!! Woohoo!
Bertie and Harley – two young fluff balls – I mean, literally still with balls
But were perpetually tormented by “jealous” George!
I did my best to stop him. Thanks a lot to his luxating patella, he couldn’t run as fast as these young ones.
But he wouldn’t leave them alone. Horrid George!
Pretty soon, he ended up in Mummy’s arms and then Julie’s arms because he was terrorising the little boys
That way, they could get on with playing with each other.
Without interference 
We did the doodle dash! Some of us were ball-obsessed!
We ran with balls in mouth!
I was equally guilty on that front 
Some of us were wrestling
– The Apricots 
And the Blacks
Some needed a hug for reassurance after running
Most of us were treats obsessed 
It took us all a long while before any of us ventured near the water!
Go on Dante, you go!
But it did look tempting …
So I joined him.
Soon it was time to leave 
Out came the leashes
We forgive your George – for being jealous of “balls”
Awww, that was such a fun meet! 
When is the next one?
May’s comment: Great turnout for a first meet at Camber Sands on a grey Monday morning – organised by James, Frank and Dante. Altogether 11 of us!
L-R: Harley, Bertie, Barnaby, George, Darcy, Bertie, Dot, Lacey
Missing from the group photo:
Dante, who was busy chasing his ball
Gracie (Springador) – she arrived late
and Monty (Cocker Spaniel) – his mummy had to go to the dentist!
It was an easy journey from London (St Pancras International or Victoria) to Rye. Lovely town – more about this later, and fab beach for the dogs. James will be organising more walks and we’re going to try and make it again.
Photos by Mara, Kevin and Vanessa! Thank you.

What a treat to see them all running around. They love the freedom of the beach don’t they? Poor little Georgie was having such fun till the little pups arrived lol.
What a fun time! Sure is easy to spot George in that bright yellow fleece!
Oh what fun we all had..met some
lovely people and their doodles. We do hope we will be counted in as an *honorary* doodle and promise not to be late again. I’m afraid at the age of 72 time doesn’t focus very much in my hoomans lives…except for trains planes and lunch catch ups ?. Hope to see you all soon.
Love and licks from
Gracie and the hoomans.

I’ll let James know to add you to his list. Are you on Facebook?
Yes I am and WhatsApp…great to meet you all yesterday and chat with your friends. Take care don’t work too hard.
I’ll add you to their group
Thank you.
The ‘poos clearly enjoyed themselves but I guess the “hoomans” weren’t so keen on the weather. It sounded very windy – pity they don’t make matching Equafleeces for poo’s and their owners!
Love reading this blog can’t wait for next one .
