Woot! It’s Wednesday. Yep. You know what that means. Time for some StuART. New StuART at that. I think these look like halos around King Stuart.
Aren’t puppies funny? When Stuart saw the ocean for the first time, he went nuts. He was about nine months old. As he got older, he ambled along in his Stuart style, sniffed the washed up pieces of seagrass and seaweed, old crab shells and pieces of plastic and took his sweet time. The crashing waves? Meh…not so much.
On our last visit to South Nags Head, North Carolina, in 2014, the Dad peep told us to take a walk while he did some last minute cleaning in the cottage on our last day before heading home. It was a beautifully crisp, clear day just after Christmas. Much like you see the sun in today’s StuART.
He and I walked for a while, then sat in the sand. He sat so very close to me. And I just pat him. Rubbed his ears and pulled on his beard. We sat in silence for the longest time. And stared at the ocean. He was such a grand, old soul.
I’ll never forget it. Never.
this beach is stuarts beach furever&ever… I was so sad that there was not enough time last tyear to go back to your place… but in my imagination you were there and stuart left his pawprints in the sand of his beach…
That’s so very kind of you to remember that. You’re a special friend. Thank you, Easy. Give your peeps a hug from me, will you?
of course.. today is do something nice day, so I sure will :o)
Ah. That’s a nice thing to do today. And every day. Merci.
The first time Kyla saw the ocean, she headed straight for the Atlantic. This was in Oregon, on the Pacific.
What a hoot!
Sounds like Lily

I think you would, too!
He is definitely unforgettable. Miss seeing the boy on a daily basis.
Aw, thank you!
You’re making mom’s eyes leak again. But she said they are happy leaks.
Happy leaks are good these days!
Leaky eyes….. I miss him.
