Manly Monday - Tommy's Excellent Adventure!

Tom: Do I have an adventure to tell you about today! Yesterday was probably one of the most fun days of my life! We got going earlier than usual for a Sunday morning and, after attending to the girly girls, #1 and I climbed into the car and took off in a north-westerly direction. It was a pretty long drive, almost 3 hours, and we ended up in an old cottage surrounded by a nice garden. Friends of #1's from Pender Island, BC (that's in Canada...) were renting the cottage and had invited us to lunch. But we first got in a game of Frisbee. I was very even-pawed and made sure I deposited my Frisbee in front of each of them in turn after each catch.

After lunch, we all got back in the car and this time, went for a short drive to a place that smelled intriguing. There was a big wall along the road, but once we got out of the car and went around it, this is what we saw!


#1 says it's called The Sea. I think it is the most amazing playground EVER! Once we got onto the beach, #1 took off my lead and off I went exploring!

Now, let me see... where to first?


This water definitely tastes a bit strange...


and it moves a lot!


I loved getting wet!


... and wetter!


and some of the rocks provided pretty good camouflage!


But of course, one of the very best things about it all was sharing the fun with #1!


And no, it was not cold. Just pretty windy. Apparently, the right word is "exhilarating!"

  1. How exciting for you, Tommy! We take it for granted that we live by the sea, in fact, Mummy took the neighbour's dog down to the beach just yesterday.

  6. The sea looks like a wonderful place to visit. Even though we live close to the Gulf of Mexico we have never seen it. They do not allow cats and dogs on the beach here. ~S,S,C & F

  12. Wow, that is a great adventure! You look like you had a lot of fun with #1. Water looks fun, but it is not for me, especially if it was moving.
