It was actually Frankie's unofficial birthday yesterday, Valentines Day ... I don't know his real birthday but it's around this time of year. And thanks Kristine (
Rescued Insanity) for the birthday wishes for my boy:) But I was busy working and had CGC with Beryl after work so it wasn't much of a day for Frankie. Then I had an unexpected day off today so I asked Frankie if he wanted a party or a trip to the beach, and funnily enough he asked to go to the beach! So we set off this morning to the nearest beach, about 30 minutes away. It was a lovely morning, not too hot with a cool breeze. We can't park at the beach but it's a fairly short walk along a sandy, primitive road (4WD only!) with interesting country on either side.

Frankie in his element:) |
Beryl enjoyed it too ....
|
Yes, this is good:) |
When we got to the beach it was deserted, yay! We were wandering along and I was watching Beryl when I heard what I thought was a dog (not Frankie) bark and growl. When I looked to see what was happening, it wasn't another dog that had barked at Frankie but a SEAL!!!
|
Look what I found, Mum!! |
|
It's a funny dog |
By this time Beryl had seen it ....
|
Whoa, WTF is that???? |
|
Whatever you are I don't like you!! |
She was barking at it and not at all impressed. I didn't get too close as I didn't want the kids to get any closer either and I didn't want the seal charging us!!
|
Beryl is still verbally abusing the seal! |
|
Typical female, has to get in the last word as we walk away! |
It was pretty uneventful after that little adventure. We had some fun in the sea
|
Oooo, mind the waves, Beryl! |
|
Look out Frankie!! |
|
Hmm, Frankie can't hear me, no ears!! |
|
Look at the power from Beryl! |
|
Splashing around |
We did get overtaken by some people on horses with 3 dogs!! I managed to persuade my kids that we should get out of their way without any trouble. Usually Frankie HAS to check out any dogs he hasn't met but I was glad he wasn't interested in these 3 just in case any of them took a dislike to him!
|
This looks like fun too:) |
All in all I think Frankie enjoyed today much better than yesterday:) And tonight Frankie and I went to Rally O training so both kids are pretty much exhausted.
And, good timing, a very roughly edited video I took today has finished uploading. It's a bit longer than usual (2 mins) but it's probably worth checking out just for the last 30 seconds or so when Beryl takes off and runs for fun! I love watching her galloping, just because she can, and enjoys it so much ....
Oh darn, I just realised I hadn't gotten rid of all my inane babbling on the video, lol!! Oh well, I might re-edit tomorrow night and tidy it up a bit but in the meantime if you want to hear wind noise and me making even more noise have a look at this version;)
Right, it's past my bedtime. I have got a funny, very random photo I took of Frankie today to put up for Wordless Wednesday so I hope you'll come back and have a look and suggest a caption for it:)
We hope everyone has had a lovely Valentines Day. I got extra cuddles from the kids yesterday:)

Oh wow, looks like a heck of a time! Jealous much. =( You guys are so brave! The mommas say some dogs ENJOY water! I thought they were pulling a fast one on me, but I guess they were right.

As always fab photos. I love Beryls upright ears - so Egyptian looking. Even when Song's ears are up, the tops flop over:)
Totally, completely green with envy here! Not only do you live thirty minutes from the beach, you got see a seal, and you have video editing skills that I would sell a few body parts for! I have been working on a little fun video for a little while, but no way am I posting it now! Gah!
Thank you so much for sharing all the fun with us! :)
OMG about the seal. How unusual... at least where I live. :-) Love the video and photos. Looks like such a great place to play.
