April 2024 Dogs
Bonnie and Snoopy bonding.
Hot Tub Excursion in East Bay
Brought the dogs to my friend Peter Herman’s amazing backyard. Got some great hot tub in while the dogs explored a novel place for them. Had great music and snacks and great company practicing my Spanish and teaching him a bit of Italian. I’m so lucky to have him as a friend through these tough times especially. I’ll certainly appreciate my hot tub when I get home to Wellfleet Drive again.
I’m very pleased with how some of my selfies turned out, and also glad I didn’t drop my phone in the water!
Sonoma Rendezvous with Law School Colleague and other Friends
Mike O’Rourke is an amazing attorney in Canada who I went to law school with and who was instrumental in my coming out process. His husband and he flew in to the San Francisco area and we were able to meet up with our friends Rick and Kai. I brought the dogs to Viansa Winery and then we made a quick trip to downtown Sonoma where we had lunch. The weather was gorgeous and I was glad I was able to share some time with them as they started their Wine Country leg of their trip. Mike had flown in from Hong Kong a few days before and Pangus (a British Columbia native) flew in from Toronto, where they both currently live.
Bit of Backyard Bliss
Rest your Furry Heads
After a long neighborhood walk yesterday on the tandem, look how these two rested on my lap.
Snoopy and Bonnie Kayaking at Dan Foley
Videos of Bonnie’s first time at Dan Foley Park and Lake Chabot for a kayak ride. I’ll forgive her for falling asleep. I guess the rocking was soothing to her. Snoopy’s a veteran and jumped up on the kayak when I got in.
Bonnie and Snoopy Bonding
First video of them actually playing for a while (there were moments so I saw this coming eventually, but it’s nice to see it really come to fruition).
Bonnie digging a nest at top of backyard. I ended up putting some bricks in the corner to make she didn’t accidentally dig her way into someone else’s backyard. She seemed most interested in making a cool spot to hang out and has no fear of the steepness of the hill despite being vision impaired.

Below is me with the two dogs in the backyard. I’m getting some sun with Bonnie and watching more adventuring Snoopy. Moments like this keep me sane and remind me of great memories of the before time.

Bosom Buddies Bonnie and Snoopy
Without even trying these two always end up in the same places.
