Guest dog Charlie grew a little attached to me while his daddies were on vacation. No matter what, he had to touch my head at least to feel safe.
Here are some other guest dogs we had this month:

Taylor Xmas House in Vallejo 2022
As President of the Glen Cove Community Association, I was happy to participate in a gift to Bob and Linda Taylor for their extraordinary contribution to the joy of our area. This may be the last year that they do the spectacle, which can be seen as a beacon of light from the nearby freeway.
GCCA is happy to contribute toward what must be an astronomical electric bill. Many know the story that this display began as a tribute to Bob’s daughter, who died in a plane accident years ago. She was a big fan of the holiday and decorations.

Mad Hatter Vallejo Holiday Parade 2022
While we lived here last year, I regret I was too exhausted from the Photos with Santa in 2021 to participate. This year both Shando and I participated. We were highly impressed with the whole shebang. We intend to be even better prepared next year when there will hopefully not be as much rain. I’m glad we all muddled through though!
In a very poignant gesture, Santa Tom Bilbo put a big pink “Q” at the back of the float, which represented our solidarity with our brothers and sisters who were targeted for being LGBTQ (as all of this float’s participants were in that category or an ally). It is also a symbol against gun violence and assault weapons being available for civilians, to paraphrase Tom when being interviewed for Vallejo Times Herald.
Photos with Santa for HSNB Part 2
Another day of Photos with Santa at the Vallejo Farmer’s Market benefitting the Humane Society of the North Bay.
Photos with Santa 2022 Part 1
As part of our year-end efforts with fundraising for Humane Society of the North Bay, we were featured in the Vallejo Times-Herald on the cover again (see below). Yesterday was the first of two times we are doing this fundraiser in 2022.
Photo credits for some of these are Andrea Rodoni and Manny Furtado.
Thanksgiving 2022
Our wonderful friends Noel and Mark invited us back for a Thanksgiving with friends right here in Vallejo. We had the privilege of spending Easter with them this year as well.
Halloween Party in Vallejo
The Brengenzers threw a wonderful Halloween Party with DJ and all. Shando went as Lt. Dangle from Reno 911. Can you guess what my costume is? I thought of the enhancement to my pirate costume at the last minute, but I realized it was off-color and it did actually offend a few people, but isn’t that the point of Halloween? Brownie points to those who figure it out!
Madhatter Event on Independence Day
I volunteered with the Humane Society of the North Bay on July 4 at the Barbara Kondylis Waterfront Green. There were some amazing kites and it was good to bring a lot of exposure to the shelter.
