Sarah! I know it’s hard to believe from this picture, but Sarah is old enough to apply for a learner’s permit in California! (For those of you from out of state, that makes her 15 years old!)

I don’t know if Kirby (f, 2) is named after the vacuum, but I have to say that that would be a great name for a lot of dogs I’ve known.


Watson is almost definitely a basset hound mix, but I’m not really sure what else he is. He almost reminds me of a Chesapeake bay retriever, or a toller, or something like that. And he looks a little bit like Marco, but a little bit less shaggy, so maybe even Brittany spaniel? Damn, I dunno. I just know he looks like the kind of dog I’d like to spend an evening watching old Hill Street Blues episodes and sharing a bowl of popcorn with.

Roxanne (3) may or may not have to put on the red light, but she definitely has the tunes: she’s the store dog at Open Mind Music. Although I must say, their web site has a page called ‘The Curator’ but that page doesn’t have any information about Roxanne, so clearly the page is not up to date. On the other hand, their Instagram page (@open_mind_music) is up to date: there’s at least one cute picture of Roxy on there.

What do you know? I ran into another birthday pup today. She’s turning 7 on the 21st, and I figured I’d post it today, both so that she’s on the page for her birthday, and so that I wouldn’t forget it, because I’m damn good at that.
