Today Nola was still a bit out of it, but my goal was to make it back to the beach. We went up Rainbow road to the field entrance - once again I let them off in stride. They heeled me pretty good all the way to the woods - it was pretty impressive - they wanted to be near me. Probably just their tiredness. We romped and stomped through the sand. Z ran some impressive sprints and then found a chicken drumstick that he would not relinquish - I'm sure he will in a day or two if you get my drift. I hope he's okay - cooked bones can be hard on the tummy. Once I rounded them back up I had them on the leash through the woods. I guess this was the first time Nola noticed the creepy soggy polar bear hanging out on a branch. She started growling at it, but was soon encouraged to believe that it in fact would do us no harm. On our way once again through the fields and down the roads. Another fun trip out and about to the beach. This time it was just followed by a short visit to the vet - Z should be fine.
