Saturday fun (well, sort of!)

Yesterday we got some of the dogs’ broken toys and with a bit of imagination created some sea creatures! We had to stitch them all together by hand, which was fun. The dogs seem to love them too.

Clockwise from top – Sambo’s jellyfish, Sparkie’s squid, Tess’s leafy sea dragon, Lassie’s starfish

 

In the afternoon we headed out to do some shopping, then went to a playground.

And then, even more fun, was the swim at the beach!

We went back to the bus just as the sun was going down, got some nice sunset shots (again), and then realized – the chicken was gone! We’d brought a ready-to-eat roast chicken and left it on the bench. Big mistake! There was a big hole in the plastic, and no chicken – not even any bones. Being the only dog loose, Sparkie must have jumped up and taken it down, but somehow Tess must have ended up getting most of it. She was, as Daddy put it, “looking like she was about to pop.” And Sparkie wasn’t. Poor Sparkie! LOL! Because that was going to be our dinner, we now had to find a shop still open to buy something else. It was now about 9pm and in Whyalla, things close early. So we settled for KFC, only to find it closed just as we arrived. In the end, we got McDonald’s burgers and chips and fizzy drink, which wasn’t too bad. I finally got to bed around 11pm!

All up, a good day, although the ending could have been better.
