It was very nice to relax there. The water was nice and cool, and it was a nice break from the heat.

But yes, Bella was very silly about the water. She started being willing to wade in on her own, which is a bit of an improvement (she's prissy about it sometimes), but then she acted like she thought the moving water would jump up and bite her, lol.

Cy had a good time! It's nice to have something he can do that doesn't wear him out too much.

I adore magpies, and I hate that a lot of people consider them a pest.

I'm excited for you to get somewhere with both corvids and sea birds!
