On the only dull and slightly chilly day of my recent holiday, I took Ollie onto the beach at Chapel St. Leonards.
As you can see, he was not at all impressed. His tail is not at ‘full curl’!
With bad light for photography, I resorted to taking this photo of some spiky beach plants.

Though the day looks dull, the beach still looks serene and inviting. Your dog however isn’t impressed by the beach.

He has never really enjoyed walking on sand. But I like the beach, so he has to do it sometimes. 🙂

Has it been days since your last post? You’ve had me conditioned to expecting one, two, sometimes three posts a day from you. Now just a couple of posts a week, perhaps? Well, I hope you are enjoying your freedom since you de-shackled yourself from your computer! Ha!

Ever since I said I wouldn’t be posting for a while, I have been ill with the flu. Today is no exception, with hot/cold flushes, a ‘full’ head, and no energy. I still intend not to post for some time, but I am around online, commenting on the blogs that I follow, or answering emails.
It’s nice to be missed. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete. x

I took Julie for one on Monday evening, and her result was negative, just Flu. No doubt I caught it from her in the car, as I was ill by Wednesday night. x

You might have an Internet sensation there, Pete. That Grumpy Cat gets a lot of attention. You should try some memes titled Grumpy Dog. Could be a mint waiting. We all know he’s a sweetie.

Photo #1: I think I see a bird in the water, and a bird in the air. There may very well be two birds in the bush, but none in the hand.
Photo #2: Ollie’s tail is at half mast because he’s grieving for the dead mollusks whose tiny seashells can be seen in the sand.
Photo #3: “Don’t tread on me!” (spiky beach plant)

Perhaps if you put doggie booties on his feet so he wouldn’t get sand between his toes he would like the beech better or hate it less. 🙂 Warmest regards, Theo
