Yesterday I was told by someone who I’m assuming was with Animal Rescue (official looking with a large net) walking up the trails. We crossed paths and he told me he was there because there was calls of birds washing up from the bay oil spill.” A word of warning, I wouldn’t let my dogs swim in that water”. A little late for us – Toby and Cody had already taken their morning swim but I thought I’d do my good deed for the day and tell the few people with their dogs that were still on the beach. I wasn’t surprised when they sort of shrugged off my words of caution. They didn’t see any oil. Everything looked fine. Today was another story!
