Oops!!

Today is Kevin's birthday!  This morning he said that he wanted to take Hoke with us to Holgate and walk to the inlet which is between LBI and Altantic City.  During our trip to the beach this summer, he noticed a sign that said dogs were allowed on the beach after the season ended.   So off we went....we walked for over a mile on the beach, looking at shells and enjoying the quiet.  Hoke just trotted along happy as can be.  We were passed by a few trucks (with passes to drive on the beach) on their way to a fishing spot...until one pulled over to tell us that no dogs were permitted on the beach because it's a bird sanctuary and protected land.  Now we knew that the sanctuary and birds were there but it never crossed our mind that that part of the beach was off limits at this time of the year.  Dogs are allowed on the beach after the 15th of September...but just not Holgate.   We got a good walk in but of course turned around.  Good thing we didn't run into a patrolling Ranger.  BUT the best part of the day for Hoke...he got his own piece of birthday cake on his own plate, not the left over crumbs!

Happy Birthday to your Daddy! What a nice trip to the beach :) We are going to the beach for this whole weekend with our grandparents and cousins Grayce and Danger. We will have to make sure to not go into any sanctuaries ;) Love the paw prints!
