Salt Water and the Beach


A few friends have asked this question---
Have you experienced any side effects from bringing Lily and Edward to the beach?


Mother:

No and no...it actually helps sooth their feet and calm their allergies. The vet even mentioned, not to long ago, to bring Lily to the beach and get her feet wet. I find the salt water reacting the same way on me as it does on my pups...healing. I do rinse the sand off when we get home.

  6. I enjoy going to the beach but we do not go very often (even though it is so close). I must have been gone for too long...your header is different. I like it!

  11. DEAR MOTHER; YOU ARE CORRECT..AT LEAST MY MOM SAYS SO.
    MOM USED TO GET LOTS OF SKINNED KNEES (SHE CANNOT WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME). SO NEARLY EVERY TIME SHE WENT TO THE BEACH SHE HAD A SKINNED KNEE IT ALWAYS HEALED UP QUICKLY AFTER THAT FIRST BIT OF SALT WATER.

  12. I bet the beach also calms more than just your allergies. It always did me. We do miss the beach, but try to get to it whenever possible. This last August though, I got bit my no-see-ims and it was when I was sitting on the sand. Hope you don't have those at your beach.
    Have a great day!

  21. I wonder if a salt water bath would do the same for itchies?

  22. Sigh, no salt water anywhere near us, that's what happens when you live in the middle of this big country:(

  24. Ah, yes, the healing power of salt water. Jan used to love to walk on the beach. We've never seen one. Perhaps if we dig deep enough, we'll find a beach to walk.

  25. Wow, it sounds like it is a kind of Spa visit.

    Love Sasha

  27. The salt in the sea air really did wonders for our fur in Germany. We also had the Wattmeer which was the green mud stuff that really softened up our pads.

  28. HER mother's fave home remedy....gargle with salt water. Good for everything. So salty beach water has to be good.
