10 WEEKS OLD! FIRST TRIP TO THE BEACH.... FIRST SWIM... LOTS OF HOLES TO DIG!

As of yesterday Lola is 10 weeks old and 15.5 lbs. After a great trip to the beach in St. Petersburg, we have lots to share!!!
The drive was a bit long, so Lola decided to occupy herself in the backseat with puppy naps and bone chewing...










First thing we did when we arrived was go to the beach! Lola has seen some sand, so she was all excited about the possibility of digging some really big holes.
Lola immediately decided she needed to see if the sand by the ocean tasted and smelled as good as the sand in Gainesville, so she buried her face, and then took a moment to enjoy the view and plan her water attack...


Lola likes to split her time between digging holes and going for quick dips in the water. Lola decided to demonstrate her best ostrich impression ...



Lola would return from the water every so often to air dry, and give the waves a chance to catch their breath...



All water dogs no matter how big and strong eventually need to take a break from the heat.... That sun can really wear you out...

We found out that the reason Lola was immediately drawn to the beach and the water was due to the fact that she may be the only boxer in town with webbed feet!

Lola worked up quite the appetite at the beach, and thought she would demonstrate just how far she was willing to stick her head into a bowl to get the last bit of food.
 
Day 2 of our trip was marked by a major milestone.... LOLA'S FIRST SWIM!
Even though she went in the water the day before, it wasn't until this day that she decided to go out on her own and put those webbed feet to work. We only wish we had known so we could have gotten in the water and taken her off the leash!!!



 

Lola was trying to swim out to see Patrick to see if he had caught any fish.... She was disappointed when she first got there...

But that didn't last long, and before she knew it, Patrick caught a catfish that Lola really really wanted to meet!
 

Another milestone today was Lola finally figuring out how to ask to go outside... It only took her a few days, but now we are ustoppable!
 



And for the first time finally caught that cute nub of hers wagging out of control as it always does when she gets excited...





And one last thing... in case you were interested in seeing Lola's crossbite, we were able to catch it while she was sleeping!!!
