Abby with one of her sticks

Abby and I took a walk on our beach yesterday. Abby loves sticks and although the high tides left the beach covered with logs of all sizes and even a lost boat, there weren't a lot of appropriately sized sticks for Abby to carry. She found this one, which I thought was a bit big to carry on the whole walk but Abby thought it was perfect.
We reached a point with the tide coming back in, where going any further would mean water well above my shoes so I decided to turn around.

Abby dropped her stick and stood her ground. She let me get quite a way down the beach before deciding that she would join me and return home.
