Namkhang's first beach day!!

We drive Namkhang to the beach in Pattaya for the first time. She is a labrador, only 6 month, very energetic, very happy. Hang Dong to Pattaya is far, almost 12 hours with the stop, so we start at 4am. She sleep in the back seat the whole night. My wife was nervous because it is her first time out of Chiang Mai. At the beach she is running like crazy, straight into the water. The sea is so salty, she don't like the taste, she shake her head and run back to us. Then she try again, and again. By the end of the day she was walking in the water like a pro. We take a lot of photo and video, my wife put it on Facebook for family in Chiang Mai. The sand is hot in the afternoon, I have to carry her on the walk from the car park. She is heavy now, that is my excuse for my back. We bought a pack of ice from the 7-Eleven and she licked it for 10 minutes. We stay at one small resort near the sea, the owner is very kind, he gave her a bowl of water and said she can come in the lobby. Good people. Next time we come back in November when it is cooler, I hope. The rain season was not nice for the trip but she enjoyed it anyway. Namkhang is our first dog and we are learning everything, so if you have any tips for a young lab at the beach please share. Thank you.
