We drove to Cape Ann, ate in Gloucester, and ran Karma twice on the beaches. At the second beach, it was sunny and warm. After a few throws, Karma went into the Atlantic (now she has 2 oceans in her history – due to beach rules we weren’t able to get her to the Gulf of Mexico). She would drop her ball and wade around and around in circles. It looked like she was ready to poop in this ocean, too. But eventually, she’d bring the ball and come back for another toss.
Massachusetts has very liberal dog leash rules. Multiple parks are wide open in the early morning hours – do need proof of current rabies shot. During the week, there open from dawn to 1pm and on week-ends it’s dawn to 9am. There are rules about wet fields and when maintenance crews are on the scene. Otherwise, off leash is wide open in the designated parks. As far as the various beaches goes, none of the beaches we were on today were posted beyond “pick up poop.”
