<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I took Rolph and Clara to the beach yesterday. They
both love it there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Because Clara is a good girl, she is allowed off
lead and she runs around making friends, jumping the breakwaters and sniffing
exciting sniffs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Rolph, being a pround member of the OEBE
(congratulations to the new members), is not allowed off, but still loves
snuflling for dead marine animals in the heaps of seaweed and
jetsam.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The other thing they do is play fight, body
slamming an alligator mouthing. But yesterday I think Rolph went too
far.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Clara stopped dead, mid game, and refused all his
entreaties to start playing again. She then went to the far side of the beach
throwing him filthy looks. I don't know what he did (but I think it involved his
teeth). She spent the rest of the walk skulking against the sea wall glaring at
him and looking at me as if to say "He hurt me".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Worse, her normally high-held tail was at half
mast.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She clearly holds grudges, as she refused to share
a bed with him last night and was still sulking and glaring when we went for a
walk this morning.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How long can she keep this up?</FONT></DIV>
