This is another photo of Ruby, a springer spaniel that lives in Myrtleville. This time she followed us over to Fennell's Bay where she dashed off into the shallows after stones. She was deliriously happy!

Unfortunately the same could not be said for a group of teenagers higher up on the beach who threw stones at us and into the water very close to us. Their malevolent laughter spoiled that moment for us and put us in real danger. They weren't locals and by their accents it wasn't hard to figure out where in Cork they were from.

There's more of Ruby here and here. We were down in Myrtleville last weekend and didn't see her at all. I hope she's ok and was tucked up at home in front of the fire instead of at a cold and wet beach.


Congratulations to Gavin@Headphoneland for winning best photoblog at last night's Irish Blog Awards! Get well soon!

I hate it when people (of any age) act like that. I was in a national park once standing in a stream trying to get a shot and this idiot tossed a tree branch at me. Two words, *camera* and *splash*.

I love the dog though, she's adorable. :)

That's great to hear. I haven't been down there in months! Must make a trip before the bad weather sets in.
