Got Sand
– February 10, 2017 Toby –
I love the beach. Whenever we go there, the sound of the surf, the smell of salty water, and the stuff rotting on the sand drive me wild. There is so much to do. My favorite though is digging holes and rolling on my back. Johnnie lets me do it too. Usually he won’t let me roll in stuff, but sand, no problem.
I love digging. The sides roll in making a motion that keeps me going deeper and deeper, yet the hole keeps filling up as I push the san out with my paws. I dig my face into the sand and smell and dig and dig and dig.
When I pull my face out of the hole, Joanna laughs so I dive back into the sand and dig deeper. One time I tasted some horse poop near the water. It was delicious, but for some reason Johnnie washed my mouth with seawater. Yuck, I won’t be eating any horse poop soon.
When we get home from the beach, Johnnie checks my eyes and if there is sand, he pulls out a plastic thing that squirts water that he uses to rinse the sand out of my eyes. It feels good as the sand is kind of rough on the eyeball. After that I get a snack. I love snacks.
