Buddy at the beach

As soon as his paws hit the sand he's off like a bolt, chasing seagulls, discovering that salt water isn't good for drinking and finding all sorts of new smells. It's almost as if he knows that we're there, that the long and difficult walk is finally over. So now there's cause to celebrate. The inner puppy comes out, and in a display that I have only witnessed one other time during the journey, Bud totally lets loose.
