This is Eliot at his happiest. He mopes around the house all day, mostly sleeping, limping like he couldn't walk 5 feet. When the late afternoon comes, he senses it's time and starts following me around and generally making a pest of himself. Then the car ride to the beach, and the dog who could hardly walk romps up and down the beach, retrieving sticks or a ball that is thrown in the water, sniffing everything, greeting every other dog that is walking on the beach, finally in his element.
