Nova likes water?

Nova picked the middle of November to discover water.

We live two minutes from the beach. We had a very balmy fall. I tried to get her in the water...but she just wasn't into it! Even when other dogs would run and play in the water, she'd stand at the edge and wait for them to come back out.

Today we go to the beach. It's November. It's cold. It's even raining. Big waves, wind blowing. And TODAY is the day Nova decides that she's going to go in!

What a GOOF!

Awwww what a sweetie!

She is so cute! Looks like she had a lot of fun. Silly girl for waiting 'til it was cold.

Looks like she had fun! Such a pretty girl and my how her color has changed since the last time I remember you posting pics.

LOL or maybe its just me?

What great shots !! I love pupper's firsts ! Wish I had been able to post years ago !

Oh it's not just you! She was completely tan except for her face a couple of weeks ago.

Now she's getting all black and her hair is getting longer and glossier. It changes every day.

Haha, silly pup! Looks like she had lots of fun, and she's just beautiful.
