Greetings from the beach everybloggie! While I've been missing my New York City pals Asta and Bear, I thought I'd introduce you to some of my new friends down here on Hilton Head Island...This is Harley, he's a Clydesdale at the Lawton Stables. He used to pull Budweiser carriages, but now he just gives carriage rides and mostly hangs out in a pasture with the ponies, which make him look even more like a giant.
We're both six years old, but Harley is over 6-feet tall at the shoulder and weighs over a ton! He's a real sweetheart and comes right over to the fence when you call him (unlike me!).
We pass Harley on the way to and from the beach. Isn't he fantastic? Okay. Now off to the beach. Here's a new pal I met on our walk last night. (It's been raining off and on all day today so no beach walk today. I did get to go to Tailwaggers Shop and Bakery for some treats!)I thought this fella might be fun to play chase with, since he looks to be made of rubber and might bounce along the beach...
...but no, he pretty much was happy just playing dead...
...so I continued down the beach looking to meet more friends to play with...
...Hey! How about this starfish gal? Let's race to see who fetches the ball first. I'll even give her a headstart...on your mark...get set...go!....
...And....she's off and running, kinda.
...but I still got there first! Hey wait a minute...where did the Starfish girl go?...
...Ahh, she ran over to meet this little cutie patootie. Her name was Colette and this was the first starfish she'd ever found!
Now, Mommy took this photo when she was out on our friends' boat, but almost every day we see these smiling guys and gals out in the waves. We even saw a baby the other day!
Now for the past four days, there's been a man down on the beach making these awesome sand sculptures. There HUGE! That lighthouse is almost 5 feet tall!
He has all sorts of equipment besides just pails and shovels. And he does something to the sand to keep them from getting blown apart or washed away by our almost daily downpours this week. 
I thought I'd try my paw at sandcastle building. What do you think? It's a perfect replica of a castle near Rosie's house in Scotland, right?
Okay, that was my daily beach walk...Now enough yapping, gotta go get that ball again!

What a glorious beach! We loved the starfish and that very big horse - I still bark at them though - Paddy just wants to play with horses - sadly they don't always understand.
It looks like paradise out there - thanks for sharing the photos - lots of licks

Hi Petey
You have made some great new friends!
We love Harley and the dolphin is just so smiley!
What out for those nasty jelly fish though - they can be sting!
We are so glad you are having a relaxing time!
Colette is such a pretty name for a little girl - very french. She looked like a lovely new friend for you too.

Hi Petey
Those are great beach photos - the sandcastles are wonderful but you know, nothing can beat that dolphin photo! The little man was jumping up and down here with excitment when he saw it - his mum is trying to print it out for him now to add to his collection. Whatever it is abuot dolphins - they really connect with him.
We're glad you're having such a nice time at the beach and meeting some new friends. Take care of your Mom and don't go too close to those jellyfish!
lots of woofs

Hi Petey! That sure looks like a friendly horsie and a happy dolphin. We love the way you wrote "Hi" in the sand. What a beautiful place.
Your pals,
Joey and Zeke
That last photo, Petey... WOW!!!! That is such a beautiful place!
We're glad you made friends with the giant horse. As you know, we are very partial to giant horses around here.
here's hoping for some sunshine!
Woods,
Tommy
I likes your friends Petey. Especially the cool little starfish and the dolphin dood. Not too sure about the horse, he look big and stampy.
Much better than anything i find at my beach here. Hopes you keeping well.

Oh pretty pictures, be careful of that jelly ball looking thing on the beach, it does not taste very good!In fact you might have to go to the vet if you ate it! Cool dolphins, I love watching them on my boat!

You are definitely meeting some cool friends, but some of them are sort of creepy!! That human friend you met sure is cute!!
Petey, we've been following you a bit through our visits to our friends the Dughallmor Beagles, so we know all about you and your sweetie Rosie. So romantic of you to send a message in the sand to Rosie! Your beach pics are awesome. BB and I are headed with our friends to TX beach in June. BB LOVES dolphins!
We love your beach friends and adventures, and watching you walk south (right? south?) in that last shot makes us feel all dreamy.
Thanks for letting us in on our world,
Jake and Fergi
Crikey Petey, there sure is a lot of stuff going on at that beach. The starfish is pretty cool.
Thanks for sharing matie.

Petey, you are having a grand time.
We just love the sand sculptures, however we would be so tempted to try and knock them down!! ooops.
Harley is a magnificent chap. I expect you will really miss your new friends when you return home.

Hello there Petey,
What great pictures of you having fun on the beach! We think your attempt at sandcastling is fantastic for a dog (who uses not tools)! IF you need any help to dig we'd be happy to help out!
