chris has been so excited to take sophie to the beach since labs are supposedly water dogs. sophie did not disappoint. we went to wells beach in maine for the day. she loved the water. she was slightly sabotaged as chris forced her to run through a few puddles, but it was love none-the-less. claire, on the other hand, wasn't as quickly convinced that the big mass of ocean wouldn't swallow her whole. she whined for a bit and needed to be carried, but soon adjusted and began splashing her feet in the puddles and throwing sand. my big fear was claire getting clotheslined by the leash and tossed into the water as a result. chris claimed he had it all under control, but as you can see in the video, he didn't have much under control. we also met up with our great friends, josh and erin who have a dog son named hunter. he truly is like their son. that dog is treated better than i am! anyway, claire was smitten with hunter and the fact that she could hold onto his leash and take him for a walk. it was like old times with a smaller version of harvest for her. it was a fun day as we went to lunch and wandered through kenneybunkport. claire walked the entire time. needless to say, she was wiped and down for the count the whole ride home.
You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Hunter had a great time with miss Claire - she can walk him anyday! He slept the entire ride home and did not want to get out of bed this morning.
You have to come visit more often so that Claire can truly appreciate the ocean and the beach!
