Not Just Another Day at the Beach

Okay, so here’s what happened… I thought it was just going to be another hot boring day, but then The Bouncy One starts bouncing around the way she does when she is preparing to leave. I can tell this because there is the “gathering of stuff” on the floor near my food bowl. Then there is scampering around making it dark and wiggling doors. It is about this time that I am hoping hoping hoping I will see her get MY stuff…like my leash because this will mean that I get to go too.

Then I hear the best words ever “Cmon Sylvester, Load Up”. YAY! I am now in the back seat of the car. It’s always a surprise when I get in the car, because I never know where I will end up, but it is usually in a good place. I notice that when The Bouncy One is in the car alone with me, there is always the talky talky talky sounds coming from somewhere in the car. When The Boy and the Girl use to take me places, there was nicer sounds that make me want to wag my tail in a special way.

So when we stop we are at a house that has rocks and no grass to roll around on. I am taken on a super short walk and then immediately tied up with the orange rope in this room where it was pretty cool, but I could still see outside. Then she leaves me and goes in the house, clearly forgetting how much I like to go IN houses. So in a little while The Bouncy One comes out with someone who looks at me but doesn't pet me. What is up with that? She, The Non-Petter, gets in a car and leaves and then The Bouncy One takes me on a very good walk. Not only were there good dog smells all along the way, but I got to go in water !!! This water was moving and had A LOT of grass IN the water which was strange. Also, it was NOT tasty.


Me In The Water That Didn't Taste Good

After the very good walk, I was tied up again resting when all of a sudden a whole bunch of Beyoutiful People rode up on bicycles and were really surprised and excited to see me and there was lots of petting and checking me out. But then they disappeared without even so much as a ball toss. It was REALLY hot outside but it was okay where I was hanging out in the room with the bicycles.

After awhile The Bouncy One, The Non-Petter and some of the Beyoutiful People went with me on a walk on the very hot road. And right when it looked like it was going to get interesting all the Beyoutiful People kept going onto the sand and I had to stay back. This was very disappointing. It was as if only Beyotiful People could go on the sand and not dogs.

After the short hot walk, I was put in the garage for awhile and became very upset when a very very LOUD cracking noise happened across the street. I became so upset I snapped off my collar and hunkered down near the steps. Some of the Beyoutiful People came back and got The Bouncy One and she tied me up again and calmed me down. I gotta tell you, this was not the happy adventure that I was hoping for when I got in the car that day. But The Bouncy One seemed very happy to visit The Non-Petter and The Beyoutiful People, so I guess that is a good thing.
