They walked and talked their way south.
Milo, their borrowed dog was visiting and being 100% Labrador.

THE POORLY SEAL 

Beach Buoy.

OCTOBER 10, 2026. JUST A BIKE RIDE.

 

 
The Bus Station.
Bit later today.
Let the Park runners have the Esplanade...

Beach Buoy stopped to chat to the lady that runs the beach huts.

She also runs K9 CAREW in one of the beach huts 

Beach Buoy mentioned the blog and it's 1,600,000 views 

A bit of free advertising could help.

Stop by if you visit.



It's great to see the Beach Huts been put to use.


To Hartlepool Marina and back.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed to the beach.

They arrived at 7-05 a.m.

Another Dog-Ruby was reluctant to walk.

Beach Buoy began to carry her down the beach access ramp.

Two ladies heading north along the Esplanade said "Morning." 

"Morning, just taking the dog for a carry" 

as he made light of the situation.

The Beachcombing Border Collie Couple were heading back to the north.

There was a fresh breeze from the west.

Beach Buoy placed Another Dog on the sand.

He collected five suitable stones.

A Jogger seemed to tip-toe his way over the stoney section of the beach as he headed to the smoothness of the tidal sand. 

A man and his German Shepherd walked south along the water's edge.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog went south, close to the strand-line.

Once again a Seal was making its way back to the sea.

Caught out by the out-going tide.

The banks of Greatham Creek would be the better option, many of the Seals go there.

It's just a mile or so down the River Tees.

Beach Buoy always keeps a distance from them.

At that distance it seemed to be O.K.

It was almost sunrise.

The Sun rose above the low cloud on the horizon.

The low cloud always looks like make-believe mountains.

The South Gare Light.

The Sea Serpent Marker.

The Jogger heads back to the North.

They walked the low level route.

Beach Buoy added two sturdy stones to the sea defence.

They climbed the small slope to Stubborn Dog Stack.


"Morning Mate." 

It was 7-38.

Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.

He patted

THE

stone.

He topped up the wildlife water bowl.

He scattered some seeds for the Crows.

Another excellent Brakesy had been placed on the stack.

A long narrow strip of driftwood.

That makes two artworks left in two days.

Beach Buoy is so grateful.


🤗

It makes Stubborn Dog Stack even more special.

Crows waited in various locations for Beach Buoy and Another Dog to leave.

Beach Buoy took the hint.

"See you mate." 

They continued south along the dune edge.

Weekend working on Pier repairs.


The man who once had four dogs went by with three on the beach below.

Number three bringing up the rear.

He had a stand and think.

Beach Buoy gave a wave to the man who once had four dogs.

He was sat at the dunes tank traps with his three dogs.


Beach Buoy looked towards the beach tank traps.

Behind one of them , the gentleman who sleeps rough was waving.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed down to the beach towards him.

They walked northwards together for ten minutes or so.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog then carried on ahead.

Beach Buoy noticed that the seal hasn't moved .

He went closer to check on it.

Sadly, he saw that the seal was bleeding from it's nostrils.

He phoned BDMLR.

01825 765546.

They asked for close up photographs of the Seal so they could evaluate the situation.

Beach Buoy took photographs and also did a small filmed clip.

He sent it off with details of the location using what three words.

He wrote in the sand.

SEAL REPORTED

HELP ON THE WAY.

They headed back to the car park 

One third of Team Mick Aston Jumper were walking the Esplanade.

Rita the Meter Maid had just arrived in the car park, checking for returned coins at the non-bankcard ticket machines.
