A fun Saturday night with the Bernards

Went to Redondo last night instead of Titlow after Chris' car wouldnt start.. It was Chris , Jared & I - Marty was Beach boy AGAIN.. He enjoyed our dive time by having a drink at Saltys and taking KC for a walk on the boardwalk.. here are some things I saw:

Im not sure if this is a Opalescent Nudibranch or a Red Flabellina it looks like a Red , but has the head strip, so Im not sure

If you look hard - there are some skeleton shrimp on the eelgrass.

I was excited to find this Multicolored Dendronotid ! This was the second one I have seen at Redondo in a year.. However I find it quite challenging to get a good picture of them.. but this is what I got.

Heres the eggs I found - and the daddy who was guarding them . I was sure glad he was not quite protective as the Ling cod I ran into last spring!

There seems to be an explosion of gunnels at Redondo.. I remember the first time I saw one - I was SO excited! I remember when I first got my camera, Marty pointed out every gunnel he saw on a dive at Titlow! Now I see them pretty much every dive...

After this easygoing dive, we headed home & I took a bath & put on my jammies.. I was thinking Stuart was out in the living room with Marty , the gate in the hall was closed- so I quitely let KC into the dogs room to put him in his crqate & feed him. After flipping on the light , I saw it too late - STUART was in there on a bed!

He looked for one second before pouncing on KC & tearing into his back !! I did the best I could to get him off KC while screaming for Marty to come & help . I panicked & tried to pry Stuarts jaws off KC.. here is the damage...

Almost a month later..

Its been a busy month... Marty's finger is coming along nicely.. This was actually taken a few days ago so it looks even better now. he manages to do most everything , but cant make a fist ..{poor baby =) }

After 2 weeks out of the water, I managed to get a few dives in this month.. Mostly Redondo & Three Tree North. Too many things to do - and I do feel a bit guilty that my dear hubby cant go too..Found a good sized snail-fish that got snuggly with me at Three tree

.. How flippin cute is that!! I think that was the highlight of the last 2 weeks in diving...

ALSO We got our new carpet in the living room .. After NO carpet for 2 years in the living room-just the sub floor... yuuuummm! We deserved the best & it is SOOOOO cushy! Here it is

.. Here is Stuart test driving it for us

The big spaz!! He also had to have a tooth removed recently.. It was broken in 3 places & smelled like POOP!! He was so happy to get it removed. We kinda wonder how long it was broken for & if that was making him snippy and that's what contributed to the big fight.. Regardless here is a snapshot of his new dental work. I wanted him to get a gold tooth like a gangsta , but Marty wouldnt go for it...
