Stavanger Bay between scylla and charybdis

Julep did not shy away from the opportunity she was being given that day. Become a lit ball of excitement, the pink-nosed Cairn jumped her way to the coast where she knew from past experiences what she would find. The great blue, the cold, entertaining wet giant that spread for forever after the sand, and she couldn't wait to get there again. She repeatedly pulled her brother by his ears/face/paws/anything she could easily grasp before jumping once more just a little bit further away from mom every time, and Whiskey would get multiple encouraging yips and yaps so that she could test the waters once they reached the shallower pools.

Mom had allowed them to play around her while she blocked them away from the deeper parts where Julep would one day find out swam great dangers. But for now, all Julep wanted was to follow her father and Qilaq into the deeper pools and play with the fish. "Cans Joop go now mah??" asked the adventurous child with hopeful eyes, blinking back and forth from mom to dad and Isengrim too. She knew that he would find it unbearable to see his sister go further into the water than himself, and she wanted to see the envy in his sorry eyes.
