There’s a local coop in San Francisco called Rainbow Grocery. Neat place, great food, vegetarian but thank goodness not vegan. (GREAT cheese selection!)
They’re also a bunch of smartasses who like hiding things for people to find around Halloween.
I especially like the last one: skullcap vs. skulldecap.
Ran across these in a shop window earlier this week. Unlike some cats, these two were willing to hold still for long enough for me to get a shot.
In the fine and friendly San Francisco neighborhood of Noe Valley there is a glorious little chocolate shop. Whenever I get down to the area, I always drop by and spend slightly too much money, because chocolate is one of my major weaknesses. But what I didn’t know was that some of the people there are also involved with Rocket Dog Rescue. So last Tuesday when I went by, I discovered that there were several dogs in attendance.
Including this utterly ridiculous specimen! Meet Moonshine, a 4-month-old female German shepherd hound mix of some description or other. She is very good-natured and somewhat better-behaved than you might expect of a four-month-old, but still with plenty of puppy energy and SO. MUCH. LOVE.
Also ALL the ears. SO MUCH EARS.
Go on. You know you want to adopt Moonshine. Go check out the rescue site!
Baby-Girl (4) is an adorable mutt of uncertain provenance but absolutely certain awesominitude!
I was a bad person… I took Joey’s picture on October 11th, and recorded that he turns 3 on October 15th, and then… missed his birthday! Well, you’ll just have to settle for being a caturday special: happy birthday, Joey, and many happy returns!
Technical difficulties! I think I’ve finally got things ironed out, so we now return you to your regularly scheduled blog, starting tomorrow.
Kuma (8) really loved his perch.
Brandy is 8, and her dad described her pretty aptly, I’d say. If I had to guess, I’d say there was some St Bernard (or another similar breed) and some basset hound.
I wanted to do a little hiking a couple weekends ago, but I had two criteria: the place had to be shady, and it had to be under 80 degrees. Turned out this was a bit more difficult than expected (it was even 85 in San Francisco!), but I found a little place in Pacifica to wander around under the redwoods. I didn’t bring my good camera, but I was still able to get a scenic view and a few wildlife shots. None of the birds, but some cute little lizards and some rather handsome deer.
I was wandering along the Embarcadero and up into the Ghirardelli Square area today, enjoying the much mellower vibes of a Blue-Angel-less Fleet Week. I admit to being more fond of quieter entertainments — much like most dogs! There was still some noise, from the Canadian contingent, but Shasta didn’t seem to mind at all, she was fetching and chasing and soliciting belly rubs from everyone in the crowd. And when I found out that today is her birthday, I gave her plenty of belly rubs and several fetches!
