Hi friends, a couple of weeks ago, Arty and I went to the Carmel area for the weekend in CeCe. Today, as a special honor to Arty, I thought you might like to tag along on a sunset walkie to Arty's Ocean!
Our RV Park was within walking distance to the beach. We walked past lots of boats.
Mama says this is a Marina. It is where people and fishermen keep their boats.
After we passed the boats, we crossed the street, we walked a bit further....
...and found this pretty trail we followed to
Arty's ocean!
The skies were so very pretty...
Our RV park is very close to those tall smoke stacks in the background!
We got to the ocean, and sat down to watch the ocean...and after a few minutes Arty, the great whale spotter, saw a WHALE!!!
Do you see it Rosy?!
Mama made a video of our fun beach walkie.
Warning to Lee and Phod's Mama: This movie contains whale sightings
Feel free to watch it HERE on YouTube
We sure are going to miss Arty, he taught us
to always make the most of every day!
Do you have a favorite memory of Arty?
Please tell us in the comments.
Thanks to all our friends for the comforting words during this difficult time. We will be back to regular blogging next week.
it will be not the ocean for us it is Artys ocean from now on... furever and ever...
ReplyDeleteFarewell, dear one.
ReplyDeleteYour ocean and the skies are so gorgeous, Arty - just as you were♥
ReplyDeleteWe are so sad about losing Arty. He was a great guy but on the up side, he got to live life right up to the end, doing what he loved with his family. The photos are beautiful. Hugs to you all.

ReplyDeleteThat was tremendous - looked like Orca? And so close to the beach!!! Arty living it best right to the last...
I am so grateful to have met Arty in the furs in 2016 and to have shared so many fun times in Blogville during his tenure as 'mayor.' Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Arty and Rosy thank you for allowing all of us to join you on your breathing beach walks. I am in awe of the skies.I would add that you two have trained Dad well on walkers and when to stop to take in the views.
ReplyDeleteAs for a favorite memories of Arty…each and every moment I spent was a favorite. My most favorite 87 hours of up close and purrsonally is posted on my blog today
With love Auntie HiC
i had to take a moment to get myself together after watching this video. I am so very happy that Arty had his most favorite of all places to visit as his last memories. Our memory of Arty is when he found a beach house just like Big boys beach house and we shared Arty's Photo on Beaus Blog... Good bye Little Man, kiss my Big Boy for me in heaven.. https://fourpawsetc.blogspot.com/2020/03/fish-you-were-here.html
ReplyDeletethe skies in these photos are beyond my words to describe the beauty
We think Arty's ocean remains as a memorial to him. XOX Xena and Lucy
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memories of Arty are the mayoral debates, and his swearing in ceremomy. Mom Amy
Arty swore? Xena
No, no he was...oh never mind. Lucy
What a beautiful beach walk you all had. How great that you got to see a whale there, too. It's hard to pick a favorite memory of Arty because there are so many good ones. We do think he was excellent at Mayor during his time in office. We will miss you dear Arty.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful memories of Arty, and enjoying the privilege of tagging along on his ocean walks is a pleasure that Gail and I will miss so much.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!

A beautiful day. We are glad we have learned from Arty to enjoy every sandwich.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to visit and what a wonderful adventure to share. We are so glad that your family has this beautiful memory with Arty.
ReplyDeleteArty's Ocean is my favorite. I miss it so much and have loved seeing it through Arty's eyes which were saved! He was a GREAT mayor too.
ReplyDeleteWow! We didn't know whales came so close to shore. Thanks for that wonderful movie of Artie's favorite walk!
ReplyDeleteArty's most fave walk is such a precious memory...and thank you for sharing it wit all of us.
ReplyDeleteThe ocean waves will always bear Arty's spirit, now.
((((( ♥ )))))
I was so sorry to hear you lost a member of your family. I remember when I arrived in Blogville and he was voted Mayor soon after.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a lot of strength.

Lulu: "So nice to see Arty going to his ocean! Do you think there's an ocean over the Rainbow Bridge? I'm sure there must be, and if there is, Arty will be there."
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "And Tucker will probably stage a luau for him!"
Rosy, you were so lucky to visit such a beautiful place with Arty!
ReplyDeleteArty was a mega force! We have always enjoyed your adventures with the pups. We are sad he is gone. We know there is still an Arty sized hole in your hearts! We send you our purrayers, head bonks and strength.
ReplyDeleteIt will always be Arty's ocean to us. The whales came out to celebrate your sweet boy on that day. We all celebrate him.
