Fabulous - loved the 'chain sniff', and the optimism of trying to get them lined up for a photo (especially emphathised with the guy on the left whose B is trying to pretend he doesn't belong to him…)
I love the poem on the rock as well. Lucky little Kipawa - lucky mom too.
At this particular beach, there are quite a few rocks inscribed with various partial poems or eloquent thoughts. People can also pay for a bench as a tribute to a loved one. The beach has a wonderful feeling to it, a truly welcoming area for dogs and humans alike.
Wow, that first picture is great! If I hadn't of known otherwise, I would of guessed that that was a stuffed doll of a Basenji! His eyes are almost like sew-on button eyes!
