Maybe this is getting boring, but that's how it grows:

Baby fur and freezing temperatures:

First coat with 3 month...

very cute!

Then: at 4 1/5 month

Too small, ugh!

Fortunately - there was a new coat for me 

cut out from an old windbreaker.

A little too big, but looking good!

Room to grow into - I thought.

NOW - 3 month later: what happened? 

Too SMALL again !

I think they just shrink on me.

Luckily in the meantime I shed her baby hair and

 my adult fur is thick and water repellent so, 

I guess I do not need another protective layer.

YEAH! 

Don't worry,

 just relax

April 1- No fools day

Usually I walk Herring Cove Beach every day to get Dixie her exercise.

 All blue and calm and innocent looking.

 We went by this root that sits embedded in the sand.
That was yesterday.

Today everything was different.
There was NO way that we could access the beach.

The little bridge was cut off by water.
The waves pushing the water up to the parking lot.

High winds, full moon and high tide combined
created a furious surf that nearly reached up
 to the beach grass area
along where we use to walk.

Look at these photos!
Do you see that little pin in all the white foam.
THAT is the root we went by yesterday.
Today the waves were pounding it relentlessly.

Instead we walked up towards the view platform and 

I took some photos of the fury.

The force of the ocean never ceases to amaze me.

April 1 - this was not a day for "fools" to walk the beach.

Windy and cold

The thing is: to stay out of the fierce cold wind.

Day after day we are getting a NNE, and there

is no way we will walk on the beach.

Not much to look at, but we are giving Dixie an opportunity 

to run of some of her energy.

She is now about 7mth old and weights 47 pounds. (21 kg)

This tree had a crack from top to bottom. 

Hard to say if it is caused by lightning or maybe frost.

Are you coming?

Just a second - I have to take just another photo.

And another one. 

There is beauty in the woods too.

Translantion

__________________________

Bei dem kalten Wind kann man sich nur im tiefsten Wald aufhalten. Keine Ausssicht aber wenigstens hat Dixie genug Auslauf. Sie ist jetzt fast 7 Monate alt und wiegt 21 kg.

Ein Baum war von oben bis unten gespalten. Vielleicht ein Blitzeinschlag oder Frostschaden, schwer zu sagen. 

"Kommst du?"- scheinen die beiden zu sagen. "Gleich - muss nur noch

ein weiteres Motiv einfangen!"
