There she goes again! After another one! My dog, Roxie loves to chase, and demolish the ghost crabs around five o’clock on the beach at Sea Island GA. My brother and I take her out on the beach and Daniel, my brother spots a crab, grabs Roxie and shows her the crab. Then the fight begins between Roxie and a crab. First, the crab snaps! At Roxie, she jumps back. Now she’s mad and bites off the big claw. Then it snaps with its little claw, and she rips off that claw, so it has no defense. After that the crab starts running away and she scoops it up with her mouth and crunches it up and shakes her head around. Then she drops the remainders of the crab and it’s over and Roxie wins again. My dog Roxie is a carrion terrier. She loves the beach.
She also loves to eat, dead washed up jellyfish and she also loves to chase the waves even if she is a Carrion terrier and the waves are twice her size. She doesn’t like to get hit by them she just runs out there gets as far up as possible to the wave barks a little bit then runs back before the wave gets her. Then she rolls around in the sand. Then I go over to pet her and tell her, “good girl Roxie “then she shakes and salt water and sand get all over me. I Chase after her then she stops and runs the other way just to trick me. Then I tell her to “go get ‘em” and she sprints after the waves again.
My mom can’t get on the beach, with her wheelchair so she has a golf cart that she can ride on the sand with. My dog loves to go on it especially at night around nine o’clock. We get on the golf cart, turn on the headlights on, and drive down to the beach. There are maybe fifty or a hundred ghost crabs on the beach late at night just running around. Roxie loves to rip them from limb, to limb or claw to claw and it’s disgusting, but entertaining to watch. Then afterwards she’s wet, tired, and smelly. We all settle down to watch a movie and she wants to snuggle but every one pushes her away. I let her jump up on the sofa with me because I’m already sandy and wet. I was already going to take a shower after anyway.
The next day we take her to the groomers because she still stinks from the night before. At the groomers they put a cute green little puffball in her hair that they make them self. After the groomers Roxie looks and smells 1,000,000 times better. I love my dog Roxie because she’s cute, funny, snugly, and playful. Plus I’ve had her for about
Four years now and we have some good memories together

Great story Mary Alston! I loved how you gave a very detailed explanation of how Roxy tore the crabs apart. It made me laugh because it was really funny to here how the crabs couldn’t beat her. I could tell you had a great time at the beach and I am glad I read your blog. Keep writing and using descriptive words.

Wow Mary Alston!
I think that your blog is great. My favorite thing is how descriptive you were. Also in your first paragraph I saw a clear picture and I think that you really tried hard to get it that clear. I have one question, my question is did your dog get sick or feel bad after he ate the crabs and jellyfish??? Other than that question I thought that you blog was great.

Mary Alston,
I loved reading your post. I got a good picture in my head of Roxy chasing the ghost crabs. What is a ghost crab? What do they look like? I also liked how you talked about the groomer and how she was much cleaner. Great job Mary Alston!
