The Adventures of Miss Luna

I’m so happy I live in a warm place! Mum has told me about places where cold white stuff falls from the sky, and it’s just like living in the white cold box where my dinner is kept. I’m so glad I live somewhere we can go to the beach and run around just like normal! The water is sometimes a little bit cold but being a doggy, I don’t mind so much (even if the humans make a bit of a fuss).

My favourite beach to go to is called ‘Currumbin’. It’s nice there cos we can choose from the surf on one side, and the calm water on the other side. Even if it’s a bit of a windy day, the calm side is usually a lot less windy and cold. Lots of people take their doggies there and we all hang out and fetch sticks and chase each other around and go swimming. I like going with friends, and this time we went with my Mum’s funnest friend Brielle and my mate Archie.

Brielle loves playing with us and spends lots of time throwing sticks for me out into the water to fetch!

And helping me dig holes. She’s a pretty handy human to have around really. Though I think here she might have been sabotaging my hole by flooding it! I blame Archie.

We all know how much I love swimming. I’m trying to get Archie to like swimming too. He doesn’t really do the swimming thing, in fact sometimes he doesn’t even like getting his feet wet. He is quite good at jumping though!

Mum and Brielle are trying to get Archie swimming by luring him into the water with sticks. It kinda works.

Sort of.

I can’t see what the big deal is personally. I mean, how hard is it? It’s just water….? I like to show Archie how to do it, but apparently he has to learn for himself. So Mum has to hold me out of the way!

When he finally gets the stick, he runs off with it thinking he’s very clever.

Whereas I pretty much just know I’m clever. No luring out into the water required for me! I like to LAUNCH and make a big SPLASH!! The other doggies look on and feel sad cos they know they will never be as good as me at launching.

I kinda feel sorry for them. Check out what they’re missing out on – pure FUN!

Racing around with my friends is pretty fun too though. It’s not all about me.

When we are almost ready to go home and I’m feeling a bit tired and worn out, I like to hang out and chill with my friends up on the beach, all the while keeping an eye on goings-on. Mum calls it getting my ‘serious pants’ on.

I don’t think Brielle understands ‘serious-pants’ though. This was a most undignified moment. Lucky I like her so much and forgave her!
