The Adventures of Miss Luna

We went to the beach at Currumbin the other day and Mum took so many
nice photos of us, they are too much for just one post! So she’s going
to space them over a few days worth with a little theme for each day.

Today’s theme is chasing! This is one of my favourite things to do at the beach (or anywhere, for that matter).

On this occasion, I was quietly minding my own business, checking out the fishies in the nice clear water…

When I spotted Luna, trying unsuccessfully to sneakily creep up behind me…

Instead of staying for a fight, the little chicken ran away! Right, time to chase!

She got a head start on me, but I’m pretty fast, so I knew I’d catch her up soon…

Almost got her!

Told you I’m fast!

We hadn’t been to the beach at Currumbin for a while because it’s been crappy weather and cos of Luna’s toe and her having to wear pants and stuff. So you can imagine how happy I was to see my handsome friend Mr Zephyr!

We had lots of catching up to do…

Then of course time for some stick fetching before he had to go!

Today’s theme is stalking. I like to do this a lot. Mum reckons I used to be a lion in my previous life! (I’m not sure if I like this reference cos lions are essentially oversized pussy cats, but they are pretty scary and tough so I suppose it’s ok)

First, I spot my target… in this case (and most cases, to be honest) it’s Luna…

Next, I slowly and carefully creep towards the target, never letting my eyes off her…

Then, it’s time for the stomp! Mum calls it this cos it’s when we both do a big stomp with our front paws out wide…

Then we crouch down on our back legs…

And spring up straight in the air!!

This is usually followed by lots of biting and running around chasing each other!

Continuing on from the last post, this is the story of the rest of what happened on the day our beach looked terrible! The last post was mostly from the ocean side of our beach (the side that has waves) but there is also a calm side of the beach which is kind of where a river runs out of the land – apparently it’s called an estuary.

Anyway, this is what the calm side usually looks like (make sure you click for a larger version!). This was taken a few months ago…

And this is what it looked like today! See how muddy it is? This is from all the dirt washing down the river and out to sea. Not very nice!

Anyway since the sun was out and it was pretty hot, we decided we wanted to go for a swim anyway. It was nice and cool! Zephyr’s Dad threw in a big stick for us all to go and fetch…

We let Zephyr get it cos it was pretty big!

Our people decided that stick was too big for us, so they threw in this one for us instead! Ok the other was was definitely too wide.. but this one was waaay too long. Me and Luna had a go at it anyway. You’d think that with all the sticks lying around they’d be able to pick one for us the right size? I think they enjoyed watching us struggle! Mean!

FINALLY Zephyr’s Mum threw in a proper stick for us to fetch. Just the right size!

After we fetched it out, Zephyr ran up and down the little beach with it with me and Luna in hot pursuit! The people had to get out of the way pretty quickly!

I heard someone coming, so I climbed back up the bank to have a look…

Ooooh! A new friend! A new GREAT DANE friend!!

We found out her name is Harley, and she’s about the same age as me! She’s a BIG Dane and very fun to play with…

Not to be left out, Luna and Zephyr did some chasing in the dunes too…

Then I stalked Luna (my favourite thing to do!)…

I was so happy to see blue sky again and feel the sunshine. It’s been rainy for far too long! I don’t much like what happened to our beautiful beach but it’s still a super fun place to be, even when the water is brown and there is stuff lying around everywhere!

The best thing of all isn’t the beach though, it’s about having good friends to run, play, chase and have fun with – like my best buddy Zephyr!
