Two weekends ago I hit the ‘San Francisco DogFest’, which is really rather a small event, but it’s still fun. I met several dogs there, including this one.

I’m dogsitting in Sacramento! I was a little ambivalent about it at first because I remembered these two as being… quite a handful, when I sat for them a few years ago. But I am happy to report that although they are still crazy after all these years, they are not in fact nearly as crazy, and aside from a little leash-tugging, which I can handle, and a whole lot of ‘accidentally’ stealing all of the covers and trying their best to shove me out of bed, which I can put up with — mostly — they are a lot easier to deal with. And a whole lot of fun, especially when I’m petting both of them and they are both wagging their entire bodies.
Chiba (2, a girl) is a real cutie, although I definitely wouldn’t have guessed the breed mix.
We do get these occasionally in SF, though I’m not always in a spot where I can see them through the buildings.
Ooh! It’s DogFest weekend, I almost forgot! If you’re in SF and have a pooch, drop by Duboce Park on Saturday, the 27th, between 11 AM and 4 PM for lots of fun with your fuzzy friend. If you’re in SF and don’t have a pooch, drop by DogFest and adopt one! Or at least pet a bunch of ’em.

Hope to see you there!
Apparently Colette is half Long-Coat Chihuahua, half Shih Tzu, and six months old. I sure am seeing a lot of puppies lately. Not that I’m complaining!
Man, this guy’s a tough one! He sure does have his calisthenics down pat, though, doesn’t he?
I don’t have any notes for Mishka, but his name is on his tags, and I think he might be a cockapoo.
I’ve loved covering the World Dog Surfing Championship the several times I did it. This year it’s not clear there’s going to be one, because the costs have apparently gone way up… the local city government is charging way more for permits and such.
If you want to see more funny pictures of dogs falling off of surf boards, act now!
