We went to the seaside today! It was the first time I’ve seen the sea, and I couldn’t believe how big it is. It goes on forever until it reaches the sky! There was a really big beach and as soon as we got there I ran across the sand really fast woofing excitedly!
First of all we wrote our names in the sand to show we’d been there. I drew mine carefully with my paw as big as possible, and added a giant paw print to show it was really me!
Then we got stuck into the most important job of the day – building a sandcastle. I got out my buckets and spades and started digging round the moat, and filling up the bucket to make lots of turrets round the edge. I had to have a little rest in the middle because it was very hot work in the sun! I was so pleased with it when it was done, and decided it would stand up well to any sand Viking invaders. Next I decided to try to dig to Australia ! I threw all the sand over my shoulder as I dug it out, and didn’t realise I was throwing it all over Sarah till I heard her spluttering! The hole got so deep that I had to get right down into it to carry on digging. I didn’t quite get to Australia but I think I can’t have been far off.
There were lots of yachts out on the sea so I wanted to go for a boat ride as well. I launched my little red boat and floated along, bobbing up and down on the waves and calling out “Land Ahoy!” every now and then.
I started to get quite sleepy so I brought my boat in and decided it was time to join everyone else in some sunbathing. I laid out my beach towel and tied four knots in my hanky to make it into a hat, and then lay down and basked in the hot sun. Sarah said I might get a sun tan but I’m not sure whether spotty dogs can go brown. I haven’t yet!
With sunshine and spots
