Junior and Rex
Junior held his flippers over his feet as he waddled along the hot sand to get to the rocks. He loved to lay on the rocks and sunbake, even though all his friends think he is crazy and call him a hot head. The kids were pointing and giggling but Junior held his head up high and continued on enthusiastically. It was particularly busy today since it is the holiday season and whole families flock out to spend the hot hours in the water, building sand castles and looking for tropical wildlife. Junior had to be charming and agile to get where he wanted to be through the throngs of tourists. He had tried sunbaking in other places, park benches, boat decks- but his irresistibly compelling well groomed nature attracts far too many children who feel the need to try to play with him. The rocks by the sea with the rough waves splashing up against the sides seems the safest place to spend the day. Problem is, he had to get across the sandy beach to get there.
