Had a trip to the beach Friday, booked a cabin and stayed til Monday. The beaches there are amazing and the sand is so squeaky!! LOL, for those that dont know what I mean when you walk on it it squeaks kinda like a wet thong noise. Hilarious when the dog is running flat out in circles..squeak, squeak,squeak...... anyway

We took the motorbikes and went for a few rides around the bay along the beach.

We like everyone else around Oz at the moment have been having some really strange weather, big hailstorm at Salmongums a few nights before we left had caused huge damage, frozen dams and chilled sheep to death, fair bit of rain too. They opened the highway the night before we left (we didnt know about it!) and there was still a bit of water laying around.....

 

but it was worth the drive when we got there (oh, we are 5 hours from the beach)

 

Little fella not real keen on the beach, water was cold I dipped his toes in and he cried :yes: but he did have fun scrunching the sand with his toes (he loves to grab stuff with his toes, takes after me like that I reckon)

Still cold at night so he pinched dads beanie

 

and we came home with some new pets...

girl- this is my favourite so far a real sweety

girl- not overly friendly, doesnt bite but not keen on being held

Boy- just a typical boy!

 

I now know why people are keen on one as a pet, they are quite cute!!

OMG is he cute or what...not the rat the BABY oh and the rat is cute too. I have read about rats, I think people are turned off by them because they are pests but the actual pet rat is an amazing pet from what I read, they are very sweet, affectionate, and dog like :yes:.

 

Beautiful pictures .... thanks for sharing.

Great photos Pie. Love the rats Just dont like the ones we have here in the ceiling :yes:

Yeah, rats are fantastic pets!! My wife has forbidden us from getting another rat but me and the boys are working on her! :yes:

Rats make awesome pets. I used to have some and one of them was the most loving pet I've ever had, 2nd only to my cat. They are real people animals always looking forward to coming out and playing.
