Sammy’s Mummy has started to take part in an activity called surfing which involves standing on a big board that floats on top of waves.  This presented Sammy with a huge problem.  At first appearances, being in charge of her humans’ safety, she was extremely concerned and decided that the only way to check if this activity should be curtailed would be to try it herself.  This is a prime example of the human expression “don’t knock it until you’ve tried it”.  Not only did she come to the conclusion that no blocking action of this activity was required, but has now become a regular surfer alongside her Mummy.
