All snuggled with his jacket on. You spoil that little sausage dog :) It was nice to be able to take him down to the beach. The water has been up the wall and violent for the last 4 days. It actually finally pushed these massive stumps that have been front of the house for years, to the next house down. The Bay was nearly destroyed by early logging up the river. They would float the logs down the river and into the ocean. But the Bay being tricky to navigate cause many getting stuck. Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |

Use aluminium marine multi strand cables and stainless steel fans is the way to go but expensive. |

So anything left outside that is ferrous will rust if not protected by paint or something. The salt air does hasten that, yes.

A walk along the beach after a strong storm is always an interesting one. Glad you weathered the storm well Quoting: Cutbait Now if you can just get Norman to dig up some clams for you that would be nice, lol Heya Cutbait. Long time. Hope you had a favorable Autumn. :) I waited all week. I even found an interesting old jelly jar when walking earlier. Norman. :P Roman. Really good clamming here too. I did it once and ended up cutting my finger on their shells pretty bad. Plus, I don't think they taste good. A lot of others enjoy them though. This is the end of the Salishan Spit. [link to images.search.yahoo.com (secure)] It's AKA 'The Jaws'. And it is well known, to not go to close. It' where many of the logging boats got hung up and wrecked.

His short legs and soft sand here on the east coast just did not please him much I guess :P The first time I saw the breeder picture I whispered, Roman... and it stuck. When I told my dad his name he said, No, Roman is a name for a Rottweiler or German Shepard. You should call him, Buzzy. lol. He's an adventurous little guy. Loves other dogs. They call him the 'peacemaker'. He gets between them and licks their faces to settle fights. It's adorable. Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |
