June 12: The "Ocean"
Well, it seems we might be here for a while because Joan took a bunch of stuff into a room and took all her clothes out of the backpack she brought etc. But who knows?? We are driving so much, I'll be ready at any point.
This morning that cold cloud thing called "fog" was still here. Later in the day, I went to something called an "ocean" - it has the special name of Pacific Ocean. It is a lot of noisy water. I really loved walking on it, but I was a bit sensitive to the water. When you are near it, all of the sudden, water is coming up on top of you when you happen to be looking the other way. For that reason, I didn't run around in the water too much - which is pretty hard to believe given my love for all things H2O.
Grover Beach to Pismo Beach


I found this really smelly plant on the beach everywhere. I smelled it and it was glorious because it had so many smells. I had to leave my mark on it, of course.

When we returned home, Joan gave me a bath in the front of the house. How embarassing, though I know I was pretty dirty after lying in all the campgrounds we went to. Then we sat in the back of the house while I dried. Joan brushed me and then came out with scissors and cut some of my fur off. She said I had something called "sap" in it and no matter what, it would not come out. I don't think it is a big deal - I'm sure my fur will return and I seem to have plenty of it.
My allergies are back and Joan has started to give me my peanut butter pill since I'm eating my food again.
