Lucy is now officially a sea dog... of course she may have had her one and only sea adventure if it's up to Ray!!! We took her out clamming this morning, out in Barnstable Harbour... We took the boat (aka floating bathtub) out to the sandbars to get steamers... Adriana and I had a fabulous time (we usually do), Ray maybe not so much, and Lucy loved it for a while... after traveling around the sand bars to find the channel, Lucy decided she'd had enough of being constantly told to sit, and took a dive off the boat. Of course, although she swims regularly, she's never not been able to touch bottom before, so needless to say, she got a bit freaked out... (my friend Jennifer, and her boyfriend Tom had been talking recently about their lab's life jacket... guess we'll be getting one soon...) Well, poor Ray, who I think he was just being nice inviting us along to clam with him, got way more than he bargained for, way, way more... so now he's got this scared dog, a scared wife, a scared daughter, so he did what any good husband/father/dog owner would do, he used his super hero strength, grabbed my beautiful dog by her collar and lifted her into the boat (deep sigh) Lucy's 70 lbs, so soaking wet... well, let's just say. heavy... what a fab guy I married...
There was a point out there today, we were portaging across a sandbar, and I looked around at where we were and thought (for about the millionth time) how lucky we are... The Cape is so amazing... Looking out across Sandy Neck with it's beautiful dunes, not a soul in sight, it's the stuff that makes life great...
oh and dinner, it was yummy...
