Odd Obsession

When I was visiting Mom last week, we took The Huganaut to Avila Beach on California's Central Coast. Mom had no idea how he would do because he's newly adopted and she'd never put him in the water. Well, he loved it.... but IT FREAKED ME OUT.

It was all the seals! A few years back a woman was swimming not far off THIS SHORELINE when she was attacked & killed by a great white. I'd heard many people say all the seals attract the sharks. And here we were, watching The Huganaut swim out past all the seals to fetch another dog's ball. (no, the other dog did not like it!)

I became obsessed with watching all these seals - they're EVERYWHERE.
