Drowned Rat


We decided that it would be a fun family activity to go to Honeymoon Island for the afternoon - to the dog beach. Max has never been in deep enough water to swim so we assumed he could but really had no idea, the kids and mommy love the beach, and Todd was ok with the idea since it would be such fun with the dog!

Wrong!


The path from the parking lot to the dog beach is insanely long and disgustingly littered with dog poo that has baked to the most wretched stink ever. Honeymoon Island has no showers so you take half the beach home with you. And my sweet long haired dog was so caked with salt water and sand that he looked like a drowned rat that had washed ashore. For the record he can swim and no he does not like it. On a brighter note Todd had fun playing in the water with the kids which gives me hope that subsequent beach trips, without Max, will be more fun this year.
