Pet Monologues

We have a dog beach nearby. What is amazing — the dog beach gawkers outnumber the playful pooches. It’s not unusual for the ice cream/beverage vendors to set up camp. Having so many sizes and personalities in such close quarters does produce quite the entertainment. Surprisingly very few owners step in to separate their animals, they usually let them alone.

PM has started a series call Dog Beach and we look to YOU to send us your dog beach photos. If you register you can upload your images by yourself. Or you can send us a message via the contact link.

Specifications: Images must be 400px wide. 72dpi. Each post will be limited to approximately 2.5MG equal to about seven images.

Visit our first two posts from China and David from Long Beach, California. Life’s a beach! Woof!

We had friends come in from Long Beach, California over the weekend. They brought a CD with pictures they took on their dog beach. This exchange sparked a concept for a new series on PM. “Dog Beach” will be series of photos that YOU send to us hopefully. We have a dog beach nearby but it is a bit cold so our submissions are two months away. But don’t YOU wait! Here are photos taken by China and David.

What do you get when you cross Daffy Duck and Luke Skywalker?
Rubber duckies!

At first glance it seemed that these toys would fall into the “green” category as they were advertised as shutting off when not in the water. But no, when the battery dies you throw it on the plastic water bottle heap. “Running on a non-replaceable 45-hour battery, all are ready to swim around and around, and to save battery power, they stop whatever it is that propels their watery wanderings as soon as you take them out of the H2O.” Luke Pondwalker, Princess Layer, and—it’s Pondtrooper. Not that I made a bee-line to find these cute things—I was looking for information on Macbook Air.
