I may have gotten some pictures of Zepha (3) before: she sometimes accompanies her dad to the farmer’s market I frequent. I don’t think I’ve ever asked her name before, though. I’m sure she’s a very big help to her dad.
Whoo. Got my COVID, flu, and TDaP vaccine earlier today and I’m already feeling it. I think tomorrow’s going to be quite a day.

Ezra was hanging out at the Ferry Building Farmer’s Market a couple weeks ago. He was guarding the shopping!
There is a little stall-style artisan dog treat store (yes, really) called Mishka Dog Boutique outside the San Francisco Ferry Building, next to a restaurant stall and a coffee stall. That’s where I ran across Bailey (4) and her folks. The box she is carrying around is the treats they bought for her. She will happily carry it all the way home, without damaging the box or snaffling any treats. What a good girl!
Saw this in Sacramento, at the 19th Q Street Park. I am not honestly quite sure what it is all about, but I approve!
Someone was hiding in the long grass. He was pretty sure I couldn’t see him!
I ran into Gus (5) at a local burger joint I was eating at, sitting in the outdoor ‘parklet‘ (San Francisco closes down some of its parking spaces to provide outdoor seating or other conveniences for local businesses, which is awesome). I, of course, determined that I was absolutely required to sit next to Gus and his folks. I think they might have thought I was hitting on them at the start, not that I even noticed that while I was there since I was way too busy saying hello to Gus. Fortunately they didn’t hold onto that idea for long, and we had a nice long chat-and-dog-petting session while I waited a reeeeally long time for my food and they ate theirs.
Kyara is five months old, and scrappy, scruffy, and ready to play!
Fløøfy Gøøse!
Look at this, we have another Zoe(y) to post, and it’s even her birthday (on Tuesday): she’s 9 years old! You certainly wouldn’t know it from looking at her, would you?
