Every day when I walk the dogs, their excitement to get there is tremendous. Yapping before they go, pulling at their leads, racing up the steps onto the seawall and down onto the beach dragging me with them. Then when I finally let them off, a mad frenzy of running round sniffing things while I take photographs. It’s normally topped off with a ball-throwing session with Dan, while Shep tries to herd him. This film demonstrates their natures nicely:

By total fluke, there is a ship just above Dan’s nose in the picture above of him leaping for his ball. Unfortunately, the ball is just out of shot and the horizon line isn’t flat. Without those flaws it would have been a good picture, but I like it anyway (and it gets bigger if you click on it).
Cheers, Tom.
