One of our favorite dog parks is Oyster Bay in San Leandro, where these pussy willows got our attention, especially the ones with the purple hue. Tucker has become inseparable from me and pretty much has claimed his place flanking me, particularly in our couch spot. Some great pictures of handsome Shando and one of Monte finding it cooler (September is our warmest month) on the ground under the other dogs is also included.
Our friend from San Francisco was visiting Clearlake and renting a hotel room with air conditioning during the heat wave, so with him and the other couple who were in the general area, we had six dogs and five bears for a slumber party in the cooled home of our friend Bob, who graciously lets us stay in his vacation home in Clearlake whenever we can make it up there.
Here are some random pictures from this month:

Celebrated the union of Michael and Chris (with their dog Brillo) in Dublin, California. They are a very handsome and special couple, and we met a lot of wonderful people at their reception (they actually got married last December 24). The day of their reception was also very special to me because it would have been my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary!
It rained a lot this weekend, but we got some great walks in, and I even ran into a co-worker when we stopped by Mendocino. There are so many charming areas like Glass Beach and the quaint downtown Fort Bragg that we really enjoy. We stayed at an Airbnb a few miles north of there and it was heavenly for the dogs to have so much space, even though it was saturated everywhere.
