Sharks and Bombs

Remember the other day we showed you the Ocearch - a research vessel that tracks and tags shark. Well yesterday and today they were back right there off MY beach and guess what - yesterday they caught and tagged a tiger shark who they have named Viper and today they caught and tagged another tiger shark that they called Duval. They have also received a report from local fisherman that there is a great white nearby so have been hoping to catch and tag it - but so far it is proving to be pretty illusive. I think they should call it Reilly is they do catch it :)

Now personally we have no idea why there would be ANY sharks in the area as it is SOOOOOO noisy out on the waves at the moment. Why you ask ? Well  there we were enjoying a nice stroll along the beach when "BOOM' it sounded like a big clap of thunder - which was odd as the skies were all bright blue and there wasn't a cloud to be seen. We continued on and "BOOM again ...followed by another "BOOM" and then even more "BOOMS" Even the Mom stopped at looked and it was then she noticed all the Navy ships on the horizon. We are guessing they are doing some target practicing or something.

Dweeb being the Dweeb he is though.....was all a panic "what if they shoot us, what if a bomb drops on us, what if they attack us ........what if..........and so it went ALL THE WAY down the beach. Both Mom and I told him he was being silly but then he found "IT"

Oh my dog - a bomb right there in MY beach!  I must admit I had to sit and scratch my ears and head at his one - as it could only be described as one "teeny tiny little bomb". Personally I think it is those Dwarf Druids are at play again but Dweeb of coarse was convinced it was unexploded ordinance and we were going to be blown up at any second - needless to say we weren't :)

  14. They should at the very LEAST name the Great White "Cowspotshark"!!! Don't you think?!?
    We hear the BOOM BOOM all the time - but it's on land. Depending on what direction they're shooting on the ranges at Ft. Riley (sorry, not Ft. Reilly!), we hear them firing tanks, artillery, and other big things. It's pretty cool - Mom calls it "the sounds of freedom"!

  15. We think a Shark named after Reilly would be good. Get your mum to write to them. There was another shark attack last night. Luckily, the fellow had people around him to give him first aid.

  17. Denny, you are now a bomb sniffing dog. How cool is that! Uh, Mom and I will take Dwarf bombs over sharks any day of the week. (Can you tell we are afraid of sharks?)

  20. Let's hope that is the last bomb you see. Do you think Boaty McBoatFace will visit your beach?

  21. You guys have such fun (and sometimes scary) adventures!

  22. Better not do a lot of swimming there if the sharks are around!

  23. I would have been out of there! I can't believe that you two, or at least Dweeb, didn't run away! Mom wants to make sure that your mom reads her reply to your comment about the puppy mills and breeders. She understands your point because reputable breeders are acceptable for those that want to buy a certain breed, but those breeders would never sell to a pet store, which is why you should never buy a dog there.
