Emma is fifteen. That means that if I’d posted her on the first day that this blog was around, she would have still been three years old. Despite that, she is getting along rather better than this blog is. She can still see, she can still hear, and she can still take long walks and run and play.
I like going out for a walk before work, but honestly I’d prefer going out for a walk INSTEAD of work, so I could follow Emma here around for an hour or two if I felt the need.I guess her folks might have something to say about that, huh?
Oh no! Eddie’s dad recognized me and told me I’d taken pictures of him before, years ago, and even posted them, but I must not have gotten his name because I can’t find him! The perils of a web site with TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOGS on it.
Anyway, Eddie is now 17, and no longer as sprightly as he once was, but he’s still just as interested in going out and socializing. So sometimes he walks, and sometimes he hitches a ride.
I know just what he’s doing here. Dachshund ears are so velvety, it’s hard to resist petting them.It’s amazing how white dogs can go. And how they don’t have to worry about male pattern baldness OR receding hairline. Grumble grumble.
Patten is, and has been a while, the store kitty for Optical Works, near my house. He’s a pretty good greeter… most of the time.
Patten is a smart kitty, and does not leave the store even when the front door is wedged open because it’s 95F in San Francisco and nobody has air conditioning.
Sebastian is three months old, and already out exploring the streets of San Francisco with his pop! And he LOVES it! He was like ‘oh hi please come over here and pet me now okay?’ and I, not being made of stone, was like ‘okay’.
Absolutely no hesitation. Just poking around and seeing the sights.I told you: ADVENTURE CAT!
I was returning from the Surf Day and I stopped by a little tea shop in Pacifica on my way back. And while I was standing next to the Pacific Coast Highway, which admittedly was bumper to bumper at that point, I noticed that someone on the road was a little more permissive with his pup than I think I would be.
He just wandered back and forth in front of the driver. Even if it wasn’t a problem seeing around him, it still would be pretty distracting!And yes, it really was in a moving lane of traffic, I am not making this up.
