Autumn did a little busking in a BART station on Friday, and I went down to meet her. On the way, I met several of San Francisco’s finest… dogs, that is. They’re bomb-sniffing dogs, so they deserve all the treats and belly-rubs they get! (Although I have to wonder if any of them have ever, you know, had to deal with a bomb? I’d think I’d hear about things like that if they happened.)
Autumn thought this pup was a Belgian malinois, but it turns out to be a long-haired German shepherd. 8 years old, and gorgeous.
The police and their pups were out in force. I’m sure part of it was being extra careful because of the crowds, but it’s also great PR.
I like this guy’s attitude.
Autumn kept hoping that one of them would notice the treats in her backpack and come on over. That’s one way to alleviate the boredom, I guess!
This one just kept looking like he wanted a hug. No fair police dogs being off-limits for petting.
Has Autumn been busking at the Embarcadero Station in the morning? I saw two women playing some beautiful music last week that I thought might be Irish and was thinking it could be Autumn, but that seemed like a big leap and I didn’t feel right asking. It was a lovely way to start the morning!
Hi Sandy! It was me. 🙂 My friend Patricia and I have been going out in the morning to Embarcadero, Powell, and Montgomery stations, off and on. Good eye!
Neat! I don’t want to bother you much while you’re busking, but I’ll say hi if I see you again. Your music and instruments are so lovely and different – thank you (and thanks to Adam for the daily chuckles and smiles)!!!
