Sumo is ELEVEN. That just boggled me. I was hanging out in the Post Office waiting in line, and Sumo was just capering around and acting like he was eleven MONTHS old. Except not as rude. But so happy and so energetic and just so sweet. I want a Sumo!
This was back in February, and it was raining. Sumo also does not mind his raincoat in the least.
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.
Among the pointiest of dogs, even pointier than collies.
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.
I am still working during the days, so I reeeeally don’t want to go home again when I take them out. So they are the beneficiaries of some very long walks.
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.
Man, this guy’s a tough one! He sure does have his calisthenics down pat, though, doesn’t he?
I dunno. Kind of dilute for a bernadoodle. Maybe an Aussiedoodle? Border-doodle?Might still be a puppy. Wish I’d grabbed a note about this one.I don’t even recall what trick this was, although I think it was one.He also likes belly rubs.Not shown: collision with camera.
