What Is the Significance of October First?

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty - Atlantic Shore

What does October first mean to you?

For many it means preparing for winter and hunkering down.  Others face endless days of leaf raking.  And the more diligent among us will be working on their 2011 business plans.

For dogs at the Jersey Shore who have watched us, and vacationers, flock to Surf City and Barnegat Light on Long Beach Island all summer long, October first has a whole different meaning!  

It's when their beach season begins!

.No Dogs.
.Up to the Beach!.
.Surf City. NJ.

Keep your dog leashed, pick up after the pup...and remember, leave only footprints!

Do the dogs on the east coast read signs ?  Let's hope their owners do !

Yay for the happy dogs who will once again be able to head to the beach!  Our dog loves the beach (I think the smells intrique her!) and likes to nip at the waves.

Dogs on the beach is one of the things that make me smile - my dog, raised in NJ, barked at the ocean waves approaching him when he first saw the ocean!

Laura,

Makes me wish I currently had a retriever or other dog that loved the shore!

HA!  I love it!  Yes, the dogs deserve their season at the beach as well!  Wish I were in the area - I'd have my two on that beach in a heartbeat!

I wonder if they think the water is too cold?

Been down to the Jersey Shore many, many times in the summer and never even noticed dogs were not allowed.  I can imagine there will be a lot of happy canines down there today and in the months to come.  Great place to run and play!
