This chapter is for fun. In this chapter, Virgil, John and Gordon go surfing on one of the many beaches on Tracy Island. The Tracy wolves are also in the chapter Jamien, Spiky and Bridget.
It is a hot day on Tracy Island with Scott and Alan away doing a recuse on Venue. The other went to the beach to have some fun. John and Virgil had it down to the beach and placed their surfing board on the sand.
" The waves are looking good today", John said while placing his board down.
" They are", Virgil said with a smile on his face.
Before John and Virgil could set up a to place sit in the shade. They heard the brush rustling, and Jamien came running out of the brush and right to Virgil. Virgil watched Jamien and saw Gordon running behind him with the other two wolves.
" You know Gordon; you should be walking the wolves, not the other way around", John said while laying beach towels on the sand under two trees.
" Shut up, John", Gordon said while unclipping the leash for the collars.
Jamien ran over to Virgil, who was getting his surfboard ready. Jamien sat down in front of Virgil and looked up at him.
" What, Jamien? Virgil said while looking at Jamien.
Jamien placed his left front paw on the surfboard and let out a little whine.
" I am sorry, Jamien. Unfortunately, you can't go out surfing with us today", Virgil said while patting Jamien on the head.
Jamien flited his head to right then back. Jamien stood and walked where Gordon and John set up the chairs in the shade under two trees. Gordon sat down in one of the chairs, and John walked over to Virgil was with the boards. Both John and Virgil walked into the waves and popped on their boards, and swam out to the big waves.
Meanwhile, beach Gordon grabbed his backpack behind his chair and pulled his earphones. Gordon connected his earphones to his phone and started listing to his music, and closed his eyes. Jamien watched John and Virgil swim off, leaving him on the beach. Jamien got up and dug a little dig that he cruddled up in and closed his eyes. After 2 minutes, Jamien wakes up to hear Spiky and Bridget play fighting. Jamien climbed out of the hole. He digs and does a stretch. Jamien finished stretching and walked over to Spiky and Bridget, fighting behind Gordon's chair under the tree. Jamien laid down against the back leg of Gordon's chair and fell back off to sleep.
Five minutes Jamien woke up again to Spiky and Bridget, but this time they were barking at something close to the water. Jamien quickly got to his feet and ran over to the others. When Jamien reached Spiky and Bridget, he saw a red crab trying to get back in the water, but Spiky and Bridget were stopping him. Jamien sat down 2cm from the Spiky and watched them. Bridget was barking at the crab while standing in front of it. Spiky was behind the crab and bitten the crab and then dropped it. Bridget also bit the crab and carried it but dropped it next to Jamien. The crab landed in front of Jamien. Jamien got closer to the crab to sniff what it is was. The crab lifted its pincher and closed it on Jamien's flew. Jamien started whining, pawing at his face and dragging his head along the ground to get the crab off, but nothing was working. Spiky and Bridget were confused about what to do. Finally, spiky ran over to Gordon and jumped up on top of him.
" OW "Gordon yelled when Spiky jumped on him.
" Spiky get off", Gordon said while looking at Spiky.
Gordon looked at Spiky with confusion on why Spiky woke him up.
Spiky walked over to Bridget. Gordon followed behind him and found Jamien lying on the sand with his paw on top of something.
" Jamien, what are you doing? Gordon said while looking at him.
Jamien didn't lift his head, but his ears moved when Gordon was talking.
Meanwhile, Virgil was sitting on his board watching John surf a big wave out in the waves. Virgil looked back at the shore and saw Gordon and the wolves crowding around something. Virgil then saw Gordon waving his arms for them to come in. Finally, the wave that John surfed died off, and John swam up over to Virgil. When John swam back over to Virgil, he saw Virgil looking at the shore.
" What's wrong, Virgil? John asked Virgil.
" Gordon is waving us back in. Something is wrong over there", Virgil answered.
" Let's go see what he wants us for", John said while laying down on his board and staring, paddling back in with Virgil following behind him.
When both boys reached the shoreline, they pulled their boards out of the water and laid them down in the sand. Then, John walked over to the esky, opened it, and pulled out a water bottle. Meanwhile, Virgil walked over to Gordon and found Jamien still lying with his head buried with his paw.
" Gordon, what's wrong with Jamien? Virgil asked Gordon.
" I don't know. I was listing to music and fell off asleep. Then Spiky jumped on me, and I found him like this", Gordon answered.
Virgil got down on his knees and looked at the side that Jamien was covering with his left paw. Virgil lifted Jamien's paw 3cm and held his foot while he looked. When Virgil looked at Jamien's face, he looked away then looked at Gordon.
" Gordon, you are going to have to sit down on Jamien's back so he can't run off", Virgil said while looking at Gordon.
" Why? Gordon asked.
" Jamien has a cut on his flew", Virgil answered.
" What is a flew? Gordon said while getting on top of Jamien and sitting down on him.
" It is the top lip", Virgil said while moving closer to Jamien.
Virgil grabbed hold of Jamien left paw, moved it off the crab, and placed it on the ground. When Gordon saw it, he looked away and closed his eyes. Virgil grabbed held on to the crab and, with the other hand, grabbed a stick. Virgil placed the tree stick in between the crab pincher and started opening the crab's pinchers. Virgil opened the pinchers by 5cm, and Jamien's flew came out of the pincher hold, and Jamien tried to run but couldn't. Finally, the crab closed on the stick, and Virgil carried the crab away for the wolves.
Meanwhile, Gordon grabbed hold of Jamien's collar and slowly got off Jamien's back. When Gordon got off, Jamien sat up and looked away for Gordon. Virgil came back and sat down in front of Jamien.
" John, can you please bring me the first aid kit," Virgil said while trying to look at Jamien's flew.
John grabbed the first aid kit out of the two backpacks that Gordon had brought. John carried the first aid kit over to Virgil and sat down next to him.
" Jamien, come, boy. Looked at me, please", Virgil said while clicking his fingers to get Jamien to look at him.
" Here, try this", John said while handing Virgil some treats.
" Jamien, you want a treat", Virgil said while holding the treat in front of Jamien.
Jamien turned his head to look at Virgil. That's when Virgil saw that the crab's pinchers had spilt; he flew and that it was bleeding.
" I will carry him back home and take him into the emergency room, and poor Jamien will have to have stitches", Virgil said while looking at John and Gordon.
While John and Gordon started packing up, Virgil pulled out his phone and called grandma Tracy.
" Hello, Virgil", grandma said while sitting at Jeff's desk.
" Jamien is injured, and we need the emergency room ready and please get the dissolve stitches and the tools ready too", Virgil said while looking down at Jamien.
"Thank you, grandma you will see in about 20 to 15 minutes", Virgil said while watching John and Gordon pack up the last beach towel.
" Okay, see you then", grandma answered, and the phone hung up.
Virgil hung up, turned off his phone and placed it in his pocket. Then, Virgil got down on his knees and put his left arm under Jamien's back legs and with the other arm under Jamien's front legs, and the boys started walking back home.
It took 15 minutes for the boys to walk from the beach back to home. John and Gordon walked inside with Virgil, who was still carrying Jamien, and they went into the lounge room. Virgil walked down to the emergency room, where he found Grandma with the tools they needed to stiched Jamien's cut. Virgil placed Jamien on the table and washed his hands, then grabbed out gloves. Virgil slipped his hands inside the glove while grandma kept Jamien calm by giving him a belly rubbing. Virgil wrap way the fresh and dry blood away for the cut on his flew. When the wound was clean, Virgil took off the gloves and rewashed his hands before grabbing the needle and the dissolving stitches and sewing up the injury.
It took Virgil 5 minutes to sew the wound closed. Jamien was sitting up and looking at Virgil. Virgil turned around to face Jamien while holding an Elizabethan collar in his left hand. Jamien saw the Elizabethan collar and dropped his head. Virgil put on the Elizabethan collar and Looked at him, and patted him on the head.
" I am sorry, Jamien", Virgil said while moving closer to Jamien and kissing him on the head.
Jamien looked at Virgil with a sad face. Virgil picked up Jamien and placed him on the floor. When he did, Jamien went ruining out of the emergency room. Grandma saw that Virgil was worried about Jamien and gave him a big hug. Then, they both left the room and started heading back up the stairs to the lounge room.
