Tuesday Dooze – Back Online, Back from the Beach

We’re back — with a whole new look, and a whole bunch of excuses as to why there’s been no posts ’round here for a couple of weeks.

I blame it on Stieg Larsson.  Howard was lucky if I got dinner on the table while I was reading THAT trilogy.  But now that my guilty summer reading frenzy is over, I’m back on the program.

As for the Dooze?  Well, he’s been spending his time hunting crabs on the beach — and there’s nothing new about that.

He can hear them scurrying under the rocks, you see.  Then one day I made the mistake of showing him how to turn over the rocks to discover what was making all that racket down there.

Which means that now we can’t walk for more than about 2 steps without flipping over a rock to paw, snatch and grab at tiny blue crabs — who were peacefully going about their day in near darkness until we came along.

Needless to say, we’ve done more ambling than actual walking along the shore in the past couple of weeks.  That’s ok, though.  I had Stieg for company.
