Dogs and beaches.

After yet another back attack, it was necessary to take a couple of days off work, away from the computer, out of the chair, and try and get it right.

Three days at the beach helped. Lying in the sun, a little gentle walking and swimming. Perfect weather helped. Got a little sunburnt, had a picnic on the beach - waldorf salad, hardboiled eggs, fresh rye bread - and generally took it easy.

The dogs love the beach to bits. When we walk, Goldie is OK with other dogs and Billy barely glances at them. However, once we sit on the sand, Goldie immediately regards it as 'our' territory and barks madly at passing dogs. Billy digs a hole, sending sand in all directions, and then sits himself in the cooler sand below.
