WET DOGS HAVE A VERY DISTINCT FRAGRANCE

BEACH BUDDIES

Saturday, 8:00 AM.  47 degrees F at the harbor, a few degrees warmer on the porch.  Wind SSW, very light.  The sky is clear but hazy, the humidity is 84% and the barometer is trending down, now at 30.18",  It is a cool but nice morning.  The channel still has a lot of ice, some of it in packs, a lot of it chunks just floating at random.  I haven't heard much about fishing, but I think it must be difficult trolling.
   The weather has turned nice, and with the better weather comes more yard and garden work and all the activities of the holiday weekend, but we found time to go to the beach yesterday, a happy place for kids and dogs after all the ice and snow.  Allison and Buddy enjoyed themselves running on the sand and splashing in the still-frigid water.  Buddy got off into the swamp and was very reluctant to answer the whistle.  Riding back in the truck we were reminded that wet dogs have a distinct fragrance.
