Redondo Beach


Hi Humans,
Let me tell you about my latest adventure. Mommy went to a seminar in Redondo Beach on some special flameworking technique to enhance and expand her repertoire in making glass beads to offer at www.beadshaper.com The ability to continue studying to build on your knowledge is one of the most important abilities that you humans have that puts you ahead of the rest of us creatures. Those of you who stick in the past and bask in the laurels of what you or your ancestors have already done are no smarter than the rest of us.
Anyway, enough preaching, let me tell you about my adventure. After Daddy and I dropped Mommy off, we had all day to hang together. We spent the morning strolling along the Esplanade, which is a long boulevard along the Ocean. Below the Esplanade is a long beach with volley ball players, surfers, sun bathers, etc., like a scene out of a Hollywood beach movie. It was a beautiful day, sunny, around 70 degrees Farenheit (in the winter!). Looking out at the ocean, one can see the surf, the endless expanse of water, and a panorama from the Palos Verdes hills in the south to the mountains above Malibu to the north. Makes one happy to be a California doggie. But most fascinating to me were the multitude of dogs walking along the Esplanade, big ones that tower over me and little ones my size and even smaller. Hairy ones and relatively hairless ones. Calm ones and frisky ones. A real rainbow of my species. And you should see them all strut like the world belongs to them, and I strutted too. I held up my head and strutted like the best of them. And I stopped to sniff at all the appropriate places, just like the rest of them.
After lunch, Daddy took me to a doggie groomer on Beryl Street. I can't say getting a hair cut and a bath is my favorite activity, but the people there were very nice and very competent. The result was worth the effort. They did my ears just right, and put 2 blue bows in them. And getting the hair off my face allowed me to show off my big sexy dark eyes.
Then we took another walk on the Esplanade. People remarked how cute I looked. I must admit, I love to bask in admiration. Then we picked up Mommy and went home. After all that activity, I slept like a log that night, dreaming of strutting down the Esplanade, with all my admirers praising my big sexy eyes, cute ears, and little blue bows.
