This was very much worth flying back from Hawaii a little earlier! Shea and I took the redeye on Friday night and after a very brief rest I headed over. Shea joined me later. I wasn’t about to do something without my dogs, so I had them the entire time, even though Bonnie was her cranky self and startled a few folks. Fortunately, she’s harmless (but loud). Snoopy, on the other hand, was such a good ambassador, that he even was held by a stranger for her photos since she missed her late dog.

As you can see, once again we had families with kids, dogs, and without sitting with Santa and Mrs. Claus (Tom and Julie).

Thank you to Bill, America, Ted, Shea, and Sara for your contributions to these photos!

More pictures from that day from other people:

Halloween night Snoopy and Bonnie joined me at Children’s Wonderland Park in Vallejo for a huge GVRD event. We were there representing Humane Society of the North Bay (where I’m on the board and from where I adopted Bonnie). It was very well attended. I was skeptical when they said 2,600 people showed up last year, but at least that many were present this time.
