Bella makes a run for it at Montara
Video compilation may be out of order and this may have been from two visits to Montara, but Bella learned to dash like hell on the edge of the ocean, a bad habit that she continues to have.

Thanks to a Meetup.com group, we found a beautiful new bayside park near the San Leandro Marina (where my dad used to moor his boat) that I had previously not known about, with off-leash areas.
Thanksgiving in Coppell, Texas
It was great to see my sister and her beautiful family, which had come in from Tennessee and Arizona. I finally got a chance to introduce them to Shando and see a new grand-niece who was just born a few months ago. Yes, they have a pet prairie dog. While talking about our family history there I got inspired to join Ancestry.com again. I encourage people to join. Hopefully they will reduce the price if more people join.
November Dogs
After some rough sister rivalry, Bella and Cappy seem to have made up (since they sleep next to each other):

Seacliff Aptos/Rio Del Mar visit
Visited my gay dad friends of many years, Mike and Todd, at their new place near Santa Cruz, where we had taken our kids to play on the beach years ago. It’s a lovely area and the weather was just perfect. Great company, great food, and great conversation were also at hand. We stopped by the visitor’s center where they had a new aquarium on display. The S.S. Palo Alto was also a topic of discussion. The cement-based ship was brought from Oakland and sunk to become a night club and swimming pool for years until a series of storms eventually turned it into a new ecosystem for the birds and marine life.
