* * * COUNTDOWN: 10 DAYS TO LA/XC-2 * * *
I have a lot of friends on the beach in Montauk — that is, when I’m actually allowed to go. (Hear that, Beagle Man?) There’s Monty and Bandit, who I just told you about. There’s Beau, the yellow Lab who loves to steal Robby’s football. But my oldest and best buddy is Romeo, the little Yorkie who belongs to David and Shelly, just down the beach. Romeo and I have a lot in common: We’re both considered “cute.” Our names begin with “R.” We’re both 9 years old. And we both hate the water — although he has a better excuse: At 5 pounds, one big wave and he’d be in freakin’ Lisbon! Here’s where we go our separate ways, though: Romeo listens. When Shelly says jump, Romeo asks how high? Really 
gotta talk to him about that when I see him on the beach over Labor Day weekend. (Hear that, Beagle Man?)
