A hot, sunny day at the beach. But that didn't stop an energetic and playful cub like Sascha. Unlike the grown-ups, who would prefer to lie down and chill, the little bear hybrid bounced up and down on the beach while playing in the water and building sand castles. And of course Sammy was always at his side, but respectfully stayed away from the water all the time.
But now Sascha had and idea. He took one of his little toy boats, tied a string to it and carefully place the long-tailed lynx plushie inside.
"See Sammy. Now you can stay dry aaaaaand join me in the water. What do you think?"
He eagerly dragged his plushie companion behind him over the warm, soft sand of the beach, his hair fluffed up in a wild mess from his earlier visit to the sea and his purple floaties safely around his arms. Of course he didn't really need them, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Sammy however didn't seem to like the idea of going swimming ... the plushie's facial expression was one of pure concern.
"Aww, c'mon Sammy. Don't be a wuss." He smiled down on his plushie friend.
"Nuu, dun worry. You don't have to, if you really don't want. You can watch me swimming from the beach"

 yuppup was the genius who drew this adorable picture of Sammy and me on the beach. ^_^
I always loved the sea as a kid (and I learned to swim at a very early age). And I'm sure Sammy will learn to love it as well. ;)
Thank you very much, it's so cute!
