Giraffeless Kayaking

More kayaking with the dogs, although it was the first time the giraffes were not in view. For those who are interested in kayaking at Dan Foley Park’s Lake Chabot here in Vallejo (there is another Lake Chabot in Castro Valley, where I used to live), the Six Flags giraffes are almost always eating when we kayak past them. Cappy and Polar were probably bored again, but they are now used to being on the kayak with me and getting water dripped on them while we enjoy the fresh air and vistas from the water.

Rain after Timber

It’s very strange to have rain so early in the autumn, but it was pretty intense a few hours after our sweet Timber died. I needed to be near my dogs after crying over our most senior canine leaving us, so I took the time to groom a few of them in this special part of our home. It was thrilling to enjoy the first really heavy rain since we got the back deck cover.
