It was a lazy weekend day and we were just lying around, bored, as usual. We never do anything exciting.
Well actually I don’t think Luna ever gets bored, there’s always the floor to stare at. I can’t for the life of me see what’s so interesting about the floor but as long as it keeps her occupied (and not biting at me or annoying me), that’s fine with me.
Suddenly there was a flurry of activity – it appeared we were going somewhere! Somewhere different, cos our beds got put in the car too! As soon as we realise we are going somewhere, we load ourselves into the car, you know, just in case Mum and Dad forget us at the last minute.
We drove for a looong time up the big road, then through a city, then on another big road. Then, we stopped at someone’s house! Who could it be!?
Turns out it wasn’t anyone exciting. Dad was just picking up a big broken screen-thing (like the one at home I watch the lions on for my stalking research). We had to stay in the car and not get out and run around. It got a bit boring after a while.
We were just about sick of all the waiting, when Dad said it was time to go!
Woo hoo! And guess where we ended up going! THE BEACH! Not our usual doggy beach (a loong way away from there) but it was a doggy beach all the same. We had a quick drink (car rides make us thirsty), then headed down the path to the beach.
This beach was a bit weird though and we could only be off-lead after a certain time. We got there just before that time so we had to have our leads on on the beach for a little while.
I asked Mum if it was time to go off-lead yet…
And it was!!! Time for running and chasing!
And swimming in the surf!
We had heaps more fun on the new beach but Mum has lots of stuff to do (as usual), so this story is… TO BE CONTINUED…
