The dogs woke us up at 4am this morning. Let me rephrase that, Miley woke us up at 4am. I thought she had to use the bathroom but she would go. At 6am we were walking all the dogs on the beach. I put long lines on the two shelties and let them run free. There is no one on the beach at that time of the morning. Guiness seemed tired today. Miley was out running him, unlike yesterday when she couldn't catch him. So I wasn't worried about him going to far. But he must have gotten a second wind because he took off down the beach after the silly birds flying over head. He didn't circle around and come back either. He just kept running and barking. Nothing was going to slow him down. Miley turned around. So far she wont go to far ahead without coming back. I wasn't to worried about Guiness. He cant leave the beach and its only several miles long. While several miles is a long way when you have to go chase your dog. When we came around the corner and couldn't see him it was time to get down the beach, especially when it gets close to 7am and people start coming onto the beach. They don't want to see a loose, barking , manic dog. Although he just wants the birds and is running in and out of the water ignoring everything else. My very nice husband went down the beach to retrieve the manic dog. Here are the pictures of him coming down the beach and what Guiness looked like when they got back.
The next picture is of the logger head turtle tracks left by a turtle laying her eggs. The turtle patrol was coming down the beach after we retrieved Guiness and told us that there are usually 190 eggs in the nest. They will count the eggs in this nest and then decided if they were going to move the eggs further back into the dunes. They thought when the tide changes it may come up over the nest. Also they said to come back Sept. 15th if we want to see the eggs hatch and the babies return to the sea.
