A trip to Port Melbourne Beach for a bit of exercise and a paddle. Part three.

We're having a lovely stroll at Port Melbourne Beach.

Come on Daisy. Let's go under the Port Melbourne Yacht Club.
"Sure thing, Dad. Me first. I'll check it out."

"All clear, Dad. Come on in."

"But watch your head. It might be a bit low for you."
Yes, shall do.

... and out the other side. Hello Mr Darcy.
"Dad ! Come and chase seagulls with me, Dad !"

Sure thing.
"Dad, I'm having such fun !"
Jolly good.

It's lovely here at Port Melbourne Beach.
Darcy is having a think about going in.

Go on in, Darcy. Don't be a coward.
"It's a bit scary Dad. I'm not sure what all this water is."

It's called The Sea. Look at those two. They're not scared.
"OK, I'll risk it."
Good boy. Brave hound.
"Wow, it's a bit cold."

"OK, that will do. Time to chase seagulls."

It's sunny now, but forecast for rain this afternoon. Quick, let's head to the beach so I don't have to vacuum the house.

Daisy is in first.

How's the water, Daisy ?
"Oooh, a little chilly but not bad."

"La la la. Lovely little paddle."

"Brrr, it's cold now. That will do."

"It's lovely in, Dad. Thanks for bringing us here."
Jolly good Daisy-Mae, no problemo.

"In fact I think I'll go back in. La la la."

""Hmm, I wonder if there's any fishes to chase."

Si the DogBlogger.

I need to go outside, now...

"Daddddddd, um, I need to go outside, now !"
Is that so ?
"Um yes, rather badly in fact."

Ah, OK. Well then it must be walkies time.
"Oh, what a fine idea... and hurry..."

Dad's home.

Hello you two. Dad's home.
"Yay, Dad's home. Dance around and spin around."

"Hello Dad. I missed you."
Hello Mr Darcy.

Come here. Let me give you a scratch.
"Yes please. Scratch my head please Dad."

"Kiss my nose Dad."

OK. Everybody kissed and scratched. What next ?
"You have to ask, Dad ? Walkies... and hurry... I'm busting."

 Si the DogBlogger.

Mmmm, roast chicken for dinner tonight

You two are the luckiest dogs in the world, did you know that ?!
"Why is that Dad ?"

Because you're having roast chicken and rice for dinner, that's why.
"Roast chicken ? Wow."
"Roast chicken ! Yum."

Yes, roast chicken. Lucky mutts. Just wait while I share it out in your bowls.
"Hurry up then, Dad."

Let me take a selfie...

I have just given Mr Darcy a trim so that he can see again. He looks much better now.

Come here Mr D, let me take a selfie !
"Sure thing, Dad."

Gorgeous. Smile.
"Yes Dad, cheeseeeee...."
