Beach Baby Beach Baby Give Me Your Paw..

Summer is around the corner and this video brings back memories of our dog Cleo when she romped on the beach. Today her romps are bouncing off the two of us for a few minutes, while we fluff her fur, jiggle her butt and lightly thump her sides.

I've found the perfect tune from my childhood to go with this beach video. Anyone else remember this seventies song ??

Here are some of the lyrics...

Beach baby, Beach Baby give me your hand
Give me somethin' that I can remember
Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach baby, Beach baby there on the sand
From July 'till the end of September
Surfin' was fun, we'd be out in the sun every day
