Dog Adventures in the East Bay

Besides some maintenance on their fur and nails, we took the guest and legacy dogs to the almost hidden dog park in Castro Valley off Center Street today and Shando took a video.

Also, as evidenced by the picture below, Tucker doesn’t seem to have any problems using one of the doggie beds that have long since been commandeered by Cappy, who has never let Monte use the bed when she wasn’t in it, and has pretty much claimed both for herself.  It’s also possible that Monte never wanted to use it when one was being used by Cappy, but suddenly they’ve found a stronger bond to each other.  Not only do I actually see Monte move over to lay down closer to Cappy since our visitors have been around, but Cappy literally had her head resting on his body the other day after I had observed Bella and Tucker doing the same thing to each other, yet that never happened before.  Hmmmmm.

Moss Beach and Montara for Joe’s 46th Birthday

Shando and I took the Yorkies to the Distillery at Moss Beach, and then further north to Montara, where we sadly saw this dead sea lion with a decayed face resembling a log from a distance.  I speculated that it probably crawled up on the beach to die and the birds had picked to dine on its face.

On a happier note, Monte really impressed me with fetching a frisbee for the first time.  I’m so happy that Shando was able to get this video of Monte’s technique for picking up the frisbee in the sand.
