Autumn and I were out wandering around the Marina and the Fisherman’s Wharf areas today, and we got a couple of surprises. First we ran into the cutest little long-haired miniature dachshund. And when I heard that her name was ‘Chloe’, I thought, ‘Wow, that sounds familiar!’ And sure enough, I found her. She was one of the first dogs I took a picture of, in December of 2009, and was one of the first 50 I posted, in January of 2010. She is just as adorable now (4.5 years old) as she was almost four years ago, I think you’ll agree.

Those ears are just as silky as you think they are.

They really do look like miniature golden retrievers with short legs.

Aww man. Disgruntled dachshund.

I really love seeing old friends.
And speaking of old friends… only half an hour or so later, Autumn and I were sitting outside a cafe and enjoying the sunshine when who should walk by, but our old friend (and repeat star) Baloo!

Last couple times I saw him, Baloo was with a Yorkie named ‘Romeo’. This isn’t Romeo, although I didn’t get her name. Apparently Baloo just likes Yorkies! (But hey, who doesn’t?)

This is the first time I’ve seen Baloo’s serious face.

I think he was headed somewhere important.
