Beach Bums

We are having a wonderful time in the Outer Banks with friends and family. The weather has been great. The water is freezing, but it's still fun to romp in the surf. If I still had my family jewels, they'd be as shriveled as prunes. Poor Thelma Lou was shivering like a dog shitting razor blades after an extended romp retrieving the infamous Tuff Coat II glove stuffed with a tennis ball -- by far the most favorite toy on the beach. We're thinking about patenting it.

It's cool having both Dad and Uncle Mike in the pack.When visiting Grammy Lee, Mom has mistaken other brindle boxers for me. This week she's having trouble telling the difference between Dad and Uncle Mike.

Which twin is hotter?

We are all dog-tired as exhibited by the following photos.

 Roger catches up on his beauty sleep

Not that Roger thinks he needs it, but he decided to catch up on an hour of beauty sleep while the rest of the pack is grilling Porterhouse steaks.

Thelma Lou chills on the cool tile floor while the steaks are being grilled

Don't worry ocean, I'll be back to tackle you again tomorrow
