THURSDAY10th Mar: Mystery Solved

Cato:

Dad's shift started a bit later today, so he came out for a walk and some sausage with us, then went straight off to his Work Thing.  It was fun.

See how quiet the cafe is?  No one to say how cute we are and stop to stroke us.  But it meant that the sausages came very quickly, although we had to wait until were were outside before we got ours! :(

The beach was HUGE today.  There was no edge to it, and the sky came all the way down to it, and the world just fell off the edge.  Mum says that doesn't make sense, but just look at the pictures and you will see what I mean.

There was a tree on the beach too.  EVERYONE had widdled and sniffed it.  It was fascinating!

We walked out under where the sea goes too, and looked at this skypuddle.  Did you know that skypuddles are made from the sea?

And even deep under the sea, there was a bit of salt grass growing.

The salt grass was growing a long way under the high tide bit.  See?  we are miles away from dad, under water.

On the way back there were some men working under the pier making funny smells.  One of them came from this tin.

Mum said 'come away!' but of course Tara wasn't listening.

 

Tara:

I WAS listening.  I was just worrying about breakfast getting stolen again.  And I did come away.  After I had a sniff at it.  It wasn't nice.

Anyway, Mum loves me.  She gave us breakfast just like yesterday, near her desk, so she can watch us while she works.  And I couldn't eat it again.  And Cato tried to eat it again.  And it was awful.  But then Mum worked out what was wrong. 

Breakfast was in the metal shiny bowl, on the laminate floor, and my collar tags rattle against the bowl, and the bowl slides across the floor, and I hate it.  So I sit and watch, and WANT to eat, but I CAN'T.  Cos it is all rattley and slidey and scrapey.

So Mum stopped Cato from eating my breakfast, and went and put it on a china plate which doesn't slide or rattle, and I ate it ALL up and Cato had to watch. Haha!  And Mum said 'Good Girl' and stroked me, and I licked her, and then she washed her hands cos my lick was all breakfasty.  I love Mum.

 

Sidney:

I am having a day off patrol.  My paw hurts.  Mum says I am experiencing A SetBack Caused By OverUse.  They have decided to reduce the time my window is open.  I don't mind.  I wanted a lazy day anyway.

Sidney......as long as it's YOUR idea - it's a good idea.  Right?

Shorty is the same - won't eat from a stainless bowl cuz of all the clanking.

Ah what a lovely walk you had, gorgeous pics!

Wow Cato you are so right how the world just falls off the edge right there, amazing pic!! 

Tara I'm sooo glad your mystery was solved and you got to eat your breakfast! Missy's tags do that clanging thingy and get caught under her bowl too, quite a mess! Good for you that you'll eat off a plate, that's a Great solution! :) 

Glad you're taking it easy Sidney, you need to get that paw healed!

:coffee: Another great read this morning. Love your walk along the beach. Tara you and Sophie are two of a kind. She has to eat her dinner from a plate also and it has to be on a mat......no noise other then her smacking tongue on that food.   How long does it take you to get from your home to the beach area?  I would love to have a place to be able to take my paws for breakfast......just too cool.  We would have to get in our car and drive to the big city........too many people to deal with. I am moving to your part of town.........

 

Sidney you have such a grand life.............here is your daily funny.

How long does it take you to get from your home to the beach area? 

We live about 10 mins brisk walk from the pier (longer if you allow sniffing time).  So we can do a decent to-beach-along-beach-and-back in my lunch hour (work at home most of the time).  The sausage cafe is very close to the pier.

But the best walks are when we take the car to the sea front promenade, and spend the whole walk on the beach.  More sand, and sniffs and better views.

The sausage cafe lets us sit inside, so does that lovely coffee place, but there is also somewhere with metal tables outside, overlooking the beach, that lets us sit and eat with the dogs under the tables.  Oh, and another cafe, back from the sea front, off a shopping street, that has a nice sheltered outside seating area, and good nibbles and coffees.  I will take you to all of them, now the weather is warming up a bit.

We are really lucky, aren't we?  I used to live in a tiny village in the countryside in Wales (rolling green hills, sheep and a lot of rain), and I REALLY wasn't looking forward to moving into a town, on the coast.  But it is lovely.  Took some adjusting, and I really miss looking out at landscape, but now I love it.  200 yards to a pharmacy.  250 yards to an excellent coffee place, and a wee supermarket.  The beach.  all the parks... it is a fab place to live.

Beautiful pattern on the sand! It looks like you could walk to the end of the beach and fall off the earth! 

Good for you Tara, your Mum finally realized you weren't on a diet but it was your plate forcing you to be. Too bad for the Breakfast Thief though.
