Surfing? No Way

Mom was flipping through the L.A. Times and came across some pictures from the Surf City Dog Surfing Competition. She looked at the paper, looked at us and did a double take. Oh no we thought.

Nothing against water or surfing but come on mom, I am from Pittsburgh! Lily may be
into it being that she is a California girl. Mom, imagine the expense! Surfboards, life vests, goggles...a better choice would be bones, cheese, stuffies....I have a strange feeling mom is up to no good! Can you imagine!!

Well, any way friends we wanted to share a few pictures from the contest. Wish us luck we will remain on dry land!
Your friends, Benny & Lily

Even though he didn't compete, Pomeranian Bobby Gorgeous gives surfing a try.

  1. They really do that? That is just too darn funny. I wonder if dogs snow ski? That would be a good one!

  2. Oh dear. I hope they were enjoying themselves and that there were no sharks around. Glad you guys don't live on the beach. It looks dangerous.
