Dogs not allowed

...on the beach, as we found out from a friendly police officer. We looked far and wide for a house on the beach that allows dogs last year, and we rented the very same house, for the very same reason, this year. I don't know whether this is a new law, but had we known this, we would have looked for a house in a different place. Irritating...

There is a park down the road which is dog-friendly, so we will probably go there tomorrow.
