The Brave Little Toaster

 (aka Franklin)

Everyone who knows Franklin (our maltipoo) knows that he's slightly neurotic and has slight seperation anxiety (and by slight I mean severe).  So when we went to the beach we almost always took him with us to the ocean (see this post to see the pitifulness when we didn't take him to the ocean).  The first day he would walk up to the water and stand as close to the water as he could get without it touching him.
At the beginning of the week we were sitting right at the edge of the water so Franklin was ok with the slight seperation.  However, Emmie really liked to be deep enough to splash so we started setting up our chairs further out in the water.  WELL, Franklin was NOT going to put up with him mommy and his baby being that far away from him (and by far away I mean 3 feet MAX) aso we ventured out into the big, scary, wet ocean!  What a brave and loyal dog (actually he just has crazy seperation anxiety)!  So he came out in the ocean and sat with me in my chair. 
In order to give him more room I sat in the ocean and let him have the chair.  Well, that was TOO FAR AWAY...yep that's right...he crawled into my lap IN THE OCEAN!

He was so brave all week and would come out in the ocean whenever we were out there.  He was even brave enough to sit on the surfboard thingy with all the boys!
