A Hike on Another Planet

Tucker and I have been to some pretty unique places, but it was here at Bean Hollow that I felt we might have walked a little farther than usual... like into another galaxy.

Tucker took it all in stride, and confidently proclaimed the expedition as his own.

He took his cues from the wind.

He looked across the grand new landscape, and prepared for the journey ahead.

He looked to the sea for guidance.

And then began his trek across the new land.

He sensed we were not alone.

He was right. In the distance, natives to this strange land lounged on rocks battered by waves, curiously watching our every move.

That did not deter the ever-brave Tucker in his explorations.

New and different rock formations covered the land as far as the eye could see.

After much journeying, we came upon a simple beach. Tucker rejoiced in the familiar feeling of sand beneath his feet, and proceeded to collapse to get the full body experience.

Here our brave explorer took his rest and surveyed all the land he had encountered during his expedition.

He saw that it was good and safe. He met with the consulate of sea lions (in private), and they decreed that together they would rule this vast landscape. For now, the brave canine had to return to his other lands, and in his absence, the sea lions would oversee the beaches, rocks and sea.

Tucker bid them farewell, promising to return to this mysterious new planet soon. There were other worlds Tucker had yet to discover, but until then, he blessed the beach, took one more sniff of of the sea breeze, and left his new discovery under the careful watch of his new found friends, the sea lions.
