Adult GSD K2 At Tampa Bay Home Beach He First Felt Sea & Sand As A Puppy 5 Years Ago - IMRAN®
K2 was exactly eight weeks old the day my forever-missed German Shepherd Dog, Kennedy, and I brought him home in mid-April 2020. That spring day, I walked both dog and puppy to a small, private beach in the Apollo Beach home community on Tampa Bay.
It was K2’s first time feeling the sand beneath his paws and seeing the sea. Kennedy immediately waded in up to his belly, so I followed, my pants drenched above my knees.
K2 squealed a bit as his paws first touched the water. He retreated, tried again, felt unsure, and briefly withdrew. But within seconds, he built up his courage and waded in towards me—legs deep. Kennedy watched on with a bemused look. I will share a link to that video in the comments. K2 has not hesitated jumping in the water every chance he got since then.
Five years later, K2 still loves swimming in the bay to fetch whatever I toss for him. Although he doesn’t sit and soak in sunsets like Kennedy once did—almost like a philosopher—K2 occasionally pauses to take in the scene, briefly setting his rambunctious nature aside. I took this photo as a tranquil sunset painted the sky to the left.
