To deter the post Holidays crash, we went sailing yesterday. For a moment I was worried that I had misplaced my sea legs. Luckily I remembered the guidance of my big Sis Ms. Zulu and I found them. Ms. Zulu always seemed to know what to do; no job was ever too big for her. I have some very big shoes to fill, even though Ms. Zulu’s paws were tiny.
Ms. Zulu, January 2015
With Ms. Zulu shepherding the heavens, I’m now sole captain of the mighty ship in the here and now. Just as Ms. Zulu taught me, I let my nose lead the way. My staff is good at adjusting the sails when needed. Wished we could do that so easily back on land. Life is different on the water. Everything is so quiet; just the wind, birds, the occasional dolphin, and fresh air. All that salt air makes you dead tired so once I got home, I ate dinner and took a mighty nap.
Don’t despair if you can’t find your sea legs right away in rough seas,
Let your nose take the lead and you will get there in the end,
Benji

That sounds like good advice, Benji. I know the first time sailing without Miss Zulu must have been hard for everyone. Did you have some sea rum? Mine hasn’t come from the allergist yet. Xena

Drake says he likes that Benji can sail now. Perhaps they can meet on the water one day? After all, that’s where the whole duck family likes to fly! Sol said she will see how high she can fly, just in case she can get a kiss to Ms. Zulu!

Ahhh, a water meeting, we like that. We can make a big splash as long as it doesn’t fall in the water as the Dutch say. Tell Sol she is so sweet for trying to send a rainbow kiss to Ms Zulu!

Aww, I think Sol is part rainbow. She is not just beautiful, but she is very sensitive. She adored Ms. Zulu very, very much!
