<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Today I decided to go to the seafront. The dogs
love it there, lots of things to smell and dropped food to guzzle. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dogs are banned from the beaches between May and
September, so we walked along the esplanade.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Now Rolph loves the beach and he has little respect for local
law. Consequently, he spent his time trying to jump over the sea wall and I
spent the same time trying to stop him.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Then he went flat basset and just wouldn't move. He wanted the
beach. I was trying to drag him away, with Clara and a bag of poo in the other
hand.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>At that moment a police car pulled up. The two women inside
watched me trying to drag this poor dog along, then opened the driver's door.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Like I said, Rolph has no respect for the law, and it's well
known officers often carry things like sandwiches and sweets. He leapt up and
shot straight into the police car.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Lickily the officer in the driver's chair was a dog person and
just laughed and gave him cuddles (and Clara, who had to join in). She agreed it
was a shame they were not allowed on the beach when it was empty, but that rules
are rules. She gently put the dogs out on the esplande and pulled
away. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>As she did, Rolph took his moment and shot straight over the
sea wall on to the beach. I mean, right in front of the police! And he did it
where the drop is about 5ft and he couldn't (even if he wanted to) jump back up.
So he got his walk on the beach.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Anyone fancy posting bail?</FONT></DIV>
