Then we got ready and went to the dog beach. Normally we would be doing this kind of thing around 2p but we were out the door before 11am say whaaaaa! It was such a nice day and there was some sort of Bernese Mountain Dog meet up cause there was a huuuuuge group of them, it was like a scene from Where's Waldo.
I should probably add that despite how fun the dog beach is, it's actually insanely stressful for Anana, and therefore, for me. She just does not like people being in water and really panics, which is unfortunate because she also hates water herself, so you can see the distress in her eyes that she needs to save you but she really, really hates this.
I went swimming in the ocean and poor Anana was pretty upset. Once, trying to avoid a wave, she couldn't get out in time and it crashed over her entirely and she was drenched from tips of her ears to the bottoms of her toes, poor baby! So, AJ tried to take her on a walk down the shore to get away so she wouldn't worry about me, but she kept turning around to try to find me and make sure I was okay, and AJ said that at some point she just refused to go any further away. Knowing she's in such distress is so painful for me! I could've swam in the ocean a lot longer, it was such a perfect day and it didn't feel like swimming in an iceberg glacier pool like usual, but I couldn't watch Anana be so upset anymore.
We went back home and played a lot of games and watched movies and ended the day with ice cream from Creamistry since it was ~*supposed*~ National Ice Cream Day (I say that skeptically because it seems like every day is a national something and I swear the same thing has like 2 or 3 national days a year) but I still took the excuse to get birthday cake ice cream.
And that's it from me. Happy Amazon Prime Day (if it ever stops crashing...?)

I have been in the Pastoral ministry for last 40 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have you come to Mumbai to work with us during your vacation time.
