Seal or Otter?

Today has been a busy day for us. We took stuff to storage and organized the stuff we had on the boat.... The storage is here at the Marina, so we can walk to get what we need out of it. That makes it pretty convienet for us.

We got things put where we wanted them, which when you don't have much space you have to be organized. But we got everything put away. We got the water hooked up directly from the tap now, so that we don't have to turn the pump on here everytime we want to use the water.

Boodles has been a pain in the ass. She won't let Tom out of her site. When he leaves, she cries. It breaks your heart to hear her. Yesterday when he took me down the street to my interview, she escaped from the boat, and went swimming. He picked her up at the store where she was looking for him. She had to open the door herself by jumping on the handle to get out. At least she didn't get hurt when she was out, we got lucky. And she did eventually dry after her swim.

So now we figured we have to get a kennel to put her in when we leave. She ought to love that. The only way he would be able to get a job is to find one that will allow the dog to go with him. Today he went out without her, and she was whimpering so hard that she was shaking. So I had to take her out to find him. I say she is spoiled.

We walked around Lamb's Marina today and saw this cute thing swimming in the marina. I saw it was a river Otter, Tom thinks its a seal. While I tried to explain to him that seals don't have tails, he didnt believe me. This is what it looked like. Which means it wasnt a seal.. But I looked up seals and did learn that they are along the coast, so in a sense he was correct.

So we sat there and watched him for awhile, he was comical. At least he didn't set his sight on us and try to attack us like the seagulls did yesterday at Wally-World. I know where Hitchcock got his idea for the movie "the Birds".... he watched the sea gulls.

Tomorrow we're going downtown Elizabeth City and walk around at the free Dock they have there. We haven't gotten our fishing licenses yet so we can't go fishing but we can walk Boodles. The good news is, we won't be sitting watching TV much cause we only get one channel. Which right now has willy Wonka and the chocolate factory on ... Not my type of show. But I did sit through Charlie Brown Valentine.

Well it's walk time for Boodles again. She is crying for her dad so It's off to the store for me.
