Hi there. Hope you had a good Christmas and welcome to 2019. My treat for the festive season was an
impromptu visit to the sea side. Here I
am on the beach sizing up all the pebbles.
There are so many of them I am not sure which ones to choose to play
with. Neither is the Mrs by the looks of
it as she keeps picking up different ones while I patiently dance around
waiting for one to be thrown which I can collect. My patience is wearing a little thin as the
choice seems to be taking rather a long time. . . . .
While the Mrs is
choosing her stone I ran after the boss who was also tired of waiting for her
to examine every pebble on the beach. I
found a nice lump of sea weed which had some delicious smells attached to it
but when I tried to carry it with me, intending to take it home for closer
examination, the Boss said no with his usual ‘leave it’ which translates into
spoilsport as far as I am concerned.
Failing to be
entertained by the Boss or the Mrs I turned my attention to the large amount of
water nearby. A paddle was all I was intending when a sequence of splashes occurred
further out and that was my prompt for further immersion. This initially proved to be a bit of a
disaster as when I eventually emerged from the water after failing to
distinguish the cause of the splash plus many shouts to return, it transpired
that the Mrs, having finally finished her pebble search, was showing the Boss her
finds when he suddenly selected a satisfyingly flat one from her hand and skimmed
it out over the water and I, being bored stiff by now, instantly and
unthinkingly went to investigate the splash without waiting for any command – whoops…
After the jettisoning
of all pebbles, the Mrs’s short heated exchange with the Boss and the
inevitable lecture on obedience, (me, not the Boss) impatience and being a
silly dog, my unscheduled swim eventually worked in my favour. Neither of them had remembered to bring a
towel to rid my fur coat of water so we had to go on a much extended fast walk to
give me chance to run around and get air dried – now who’s the silly dog?????
