Leroy's Hamptons Getaway!

It really is a dog's life. While I was stuck riding a bus up to DC last weekend, my dog Leroy was having a fantastic beach weekend with the East Coast elite (my friend and fellow Curly Tail Pug Rescue Volunteer Anna) in the Hamptons. Anna and her husband Scott have 2 adorable pugs, Roxie and Bernie, and they were kind enough to add Leroy to their beach brood for the weekend.

Here is the entire crew, pretty Roxie (in the pink) and Handsome Bernie... Bernie and Leroy got along fabulously... but Roxie didn't seem too impressed...

Bernie had a special... "affinity" for Leroy... apparently he likes the boy dogs better... Who can blame him! Leroy is a pimp! He even walks with a lean :-p

They did a little running along the beach... See pugs DO run!

Leroy seemed a little skeptical of the water at first... little pug... big waves..

But Leroy isn't known for having fear (or good sense...) so into the water he went!

Leroy had such a fantastic time on his beach vacay! Thanks Scott and Anna (and Roxie and Bernie) for putting up with his crazy @ss for a while 3 days!
