Best Beach Buds

Winter isn’t making it easy, but Spring is waging a desperate struggle to shake off the cold and gray skies. Yesterday the sun peaked out just long enough to remind us to keep hope alive. And what better way to enjoy the moment than to hit the beach with your best friend?

 For the first time in a long time, the beach was all sand. No snow, no ice, just beautiful sand

Eko and his pal Riley went on an excavation to see what treasures winter had hidden

The two worked feverishly to uncover their prize – a sand-aged stick

Which Riley promptly stole! Eko took off in hot pursuit

It was a blast watching the two race up and down the beach

Eko pounced…

And bounced! But he just couldn’t get Riley to give up the stick

So Eko just found his own stick to enjoy

Which of course made Riley quite jealous

Another pup also schemed to steal Eko’s prize

So he chased her off

Only to discover Riley was after his unguarded stick

Eko managed to steal back his prize and spent the remainder of our trip luxuriating in the sand

Sometimes when things are cold and gray, just a bit of sunshine makes all the difference. Thankfully, when the sun is not around I have Eko. But we’re both much happier with the sun – get a move on spring!
