The dogs had a great time, lots of new experiences, in and out of the water
and of course sniffing other dogs!
Buster doesn't mind water but he won't go out of his depth and swim.
Rufus is more fearless, I think he would swim. He didn't yesterday though
as it was very shallow, even when the tide was in.
Later when we stopped for chips and coffee Rufus started to shiver a little, I'm a bit silly with the dogs and was concerned for him so my son-in-law put his coat over him, doesn't he look cute? That's not really the look for a fearless Lurcher though!! He soon dried off, stopped shivering and was fine.
Don't these pretty boats add a bit of cheer to dull weather.
Ah, Southend, one of my favourite haunts when I was younger! I used to love walking past the ship and the poor man that was laying down, day in and day out, having a blade swing from side to side! Is he still there?? We are coming down for a coach trip in April to see the place again and hopefully go on the train down to the end of the pier. Happy days!!
ReplyDeleteI don’t know if he is, we didn’t go to adventure island as we didn’t think it would be open so we didn’t take much money!
