dixie's tips for beach fun!

1.  make sure to "take care of business" at the beginning of your walk so your humans have to carry that plastic bag the           whole way.

2.   if your mom or dad sits down, sit between their knees & be real good for awhile..then start digging!    make sure the flying sand goes up their shorts!

3.   if you see a friendly looking human, RUN toward them!  they will almost always bend down to pet you....so veer off at the last minute and make them feel silly!    unless, of course, you have rolled in a dead seagull...then let them hug you!

4.  fish hooks are not fetch toys.   they are fun to chase but you'll be sorry if you catch them.  if somebody catches a fish, though, it's okay to chase it while they
pull it out!
my favorite poem...by mr. don marquis

    i ran along the yellow sand
   and made the seagulls fly
    i chased them down the waters edge
    i chased them up the sky
   
    i ran so hard i ran so fast
    i left the spray behind
    i chased the flying flecks of foam          
    and i outran the wind

    an airplane sailing overhead
    climbed when  it heard me bark
     i yelped and leapt right at the sun
     until the sky grew dark

     some little children on the beach
      threw sticks and ran with me
      o master let us go again
      and play beside the sea
