Clyde's Child Charm

Today we completed our journey south and arrived at North Carolina. Clyde was good the rest of the trip in the car, although farts became more frequent. (P.U., Clyde!) But when we got there...
After we ate dinner, we took Clyde across the road to the beach, and walked him along it to a distant pier and back. When the waves came up and licked his paws, he backed up and sometimes almost ran. But, when we walked through still pools of water, he splashed right through like they didn't exsist. To come back to the title, "Child Charm", 5 people/kids/groups stopped because of him. The first time Clyde and I ran along the beach a bit, a young girl of about 3 or 4 stopped, stared, and said "Whoa...". The second time a little boy of the same age was crying and his mother was attempting tto comfort him. When Cyde went by, he was quiet and captivated. The third time, a teenager at the waters edge stopped when Clyde sniffed her and asked if he liked the water...you already know that answer. The fourth time, (I'm almost done), a family stopped to watch him go by and smiles lit up their faces. The last time it was a woman who passed and laughed and smiled and watched us walk by. Clyde's new nickname- Crowd Favorite. :)
