June 3, 2012 – Balboa Island Parade & Huntington Beach Dog Beach

Today LandShark and I were invited to walk in the Balboa Island Parade with the OC Doxie Meet Up group under the name “The Real Wieners of Orange County”.

It was a great day to be a wiener!  There were lots of people at the parade that were really nice to my brother and me.  We got lots of head pets and compliments on our costumes (thanks grandma).  LandShark dressed up as a Shark (obvious choice) and I got to strut my stuff in a hula boy outfit (even if I did get called a girl all day).  Of note, I am pretty sure that putting me in a grass skirt was Momma’s way of trying to ruin my street cred as top gangsta in our Yorba Linda hood, but what she didn’t plan on was that El Diablo makes everything look good…even a skirt.  It takes a true gangsta to rock a grass skirt and a pink Hawaiian shirt!

After the parade Momma took us to the Huntington Beach Dog Beach as a reward for being good wieners at the parade.  LandShark and I love the doggy beach, it’s a nice long stretch of beach where we can run off leash and chase each other and other doggies until our little legs won’t run anymore.  And since we were so good at the parade and didn’t bark once we decided to use all our pent up energy and bark at EVERYBODY at the dog beach hound or human.  Momma wasn’t real happy about what she referred to as a bunch of unnecessary regulatin’ by me and my brother.  Oh well, at least we went 1 for 2 on the behaving scale instead of 0 for 2.

The Ladies Love LandShark.  Is it his soulful brown eyes, long floppy ears, luscious red coat or constant readiness to launch a puppy kiss attack?  Or is it all of the above?  One thing is for sure, LandShark is the 10 pound lothario of Yorba Linda.  LandShark is the ying to Murphy’s yang.  While his brother Murphy (aka El Diablo) is fiercely independent, LandShark is the consummate momma’s boy.  Resulting in numerous occasions where he becomes trapped in closets, garages, bedrooms, etc. because he follows momma into a room and doesn’t follow her out quickly enough.  LandShark’s favorite things are: runs at the Huntington Beach dog beach, tug of war, digging holes in the carpet in an attempt to bury rawhide bones and hide them from his brother, eating the extremities off his stuffed toys (much to the dismay of momma) and wrestling with Murphy.  His favorite song is “Fins” by Jimmy Buffett since it contains his namesake lyric “Just behind the reef are the big white teeth of the sharks that can swim on the land.”  Currently, LandShark spends his days hunting lizards in the sun on his balcony.  However, he aspires to make it to the 17^th Annual Wiener Nationals on July 14, 2012, where he has his sights set on the champion’s giant red and yellow Wienerschnitzel dog house.
