Thoughts from a man who lives by the sea.

All he needs is his ball and me to throw it for him.
This is what happens when he loses his ball, which was floating off downstream:

He could only search for so long before getting tired. I love the moment where he disappears for a few seconds and then pops up on the bank.
Cheers, Tom.

Lovely!!! He looks so full of energy 
| SeasideMan pro 24/07/08 @ 11:22 |
He has limitless energy. I have just spent a sloid hour throwing the ball for him on the beach and he wasn't even flagging, although my arm was getting sore from the throwing.

Love the way he dries himself off afterwards....guess he didn't find his ball then... GBHs...XX

No, that ball is floating off to the sea...but I had a spare :-)
Tom.
does everyone realise that tommy has TWO dogs? and one is quite horribly neglected in the publicity stakes? poor little shep. poor, poor shep [angry face]
| SeasideMan pro 24/07/08 @ 11:08 |
Shep is having his summer holidays down on the sheep farm. He loves it there, and Dan does miss him.

I enjoyed the video, I love the last bit, when he turns to you and asks "Okay, so have you got another ball then?"
| SeasideMan pro 24/07/08 @ 11:20 |
Thanks. Luckily I did have another ball :-)

I am officially as easily entertained a him.
Spent a very enjoyable few days playing bop-the-balloon volleyball at xmas. Was fricking great!
| SeasideMan pro 24/07/08 @ 12:54 |
Cool :-)
It's great to be simply entertained, especially when it's something that keeps you fit too.
Tom.
| kendersrule pro 24/07/08 @ 12:55 |
yeeeers... fit... there were absolutely no chairs involved...
| SeasideMan pro 24/07/08 @ 13:11 |
Maybe I should take up beach volleyball. I remember enjoying normal volleyball at school, but the beach variety looks like much more work...

I love how his ears wiggle up and down as he swims!
He`s lovely, Definitely "Toms best friend"
| SeasideMan pro 24/07/08 @ 13:05 |
He is indeed :-)
W a l k i e s time is definitely his favourite time of day...apart from food time of course.

There's no doubt that animal videos seem to always provide the top entertainment.
| SeasideMan pro 24/07/08 @ 21:42 |
Yes, I wonder why that is. Perhaps it is because they have such comparatively simple existences.

My dog LOVES the water too....dogs really make me laugh when they swim, well, my dog does at least!
| SeasideMan pro 25/07/08 @ 17:38 |
I agree, they look funny when they swim :-)
Especially with a ball in their mouths...
Tom.
A great bit of filming - he's a very smooth swimmer. Most of them look quite ungainly. Like the bit where he rewards you for losing the ball by trying to find something yukky to roll in!
| SeasideMan pro 28/07/08 @ 09:14 |
I think he's primarily drying off - finding something unpleasant to roll in is just a bonus for him :-)
