Day 141

I recall in my earlier blogs stating how much I love the white stuff and the cold weather on the Island, and believe me I do, but I love the weather on the Island now too. It is so nice to play in the ocean and eat the yummy grass and chase those little two legged things with wings. We started this sunny day heading out for a quick tour but then Captain promised and early trip to the beach and she didn't disappoint. I am glad because after being lazy with her all day yesterday and sleeping for 1o hours last night, I was ready to run. And run I did. I ran along the water and into the water and even swam out to get my toy from my grandpupma. I did make Captain walk out to get it once and her bum got wet, but she didn't seem too upset. We played hard at the beach for a long time and I just loved it. There were places where the water felt warm and then a couple places where we walked and I felt the ground suck at my feet and want to hold me there forever. Captain almost lost a water shoe to the ocean, but we dug it out.

While I was playing amongst the rocks and the weedlike stuff, the Captain investigated the shells in the shallower water. She not only found some small little finned creatures, but she also saw the most beautifully moving creature. She called it a jelly fish but wouldn't let me near it even though I clouded the water all around it by my nosiness. She watched it swim about for a long time and seemed mesmerized by it. She said she had never seen one in the wild. I didn't know this Island was the wild.

We went home and had a nice end to the morning with a bath. Captain must have been in the washing mood because she washed my orange house for the car, the car itself, and even scrubbed out the house for the car which she called the garage. Then she went for a run and gave herself a good washing. Her shoulders and cheeks were a little pink with color as the day grew on. She continue to wash things--the floors, the clothes, my beds, her bed, and dishes. Geez, everything smells of fresh soap. Luckily they also smell of peanut butter cookies. Wonderful peanut butter cookies. I got to end the night with a very large bigger than my head cookie and was grateful. Captain, on the other hand, went to the place with the cows and got herself some lime and raspberry sherbet which made her very happy. I think we both earned our treats today.
