The only “view” we saw of the Golden Gate from the Marin Headlands was from the car as you’ll see from the back seat, but the park has some other cool features like the old fort/tunnels, etc.

Back to Aloha
I think at the Humane Society of the North Bay‘s Pawtoberfest I shocked Shea when during the live auction I bid (and won) a good deal on a one-week stay on the Big Island! I can’t wait to aloha! I’ve been meaning to get back to Hawaii and this way I know it’s helping the homeless dogs and cats in our area.
Lazybear Week 2024 in Guerneville
Guerneville Off-Leash Time
Snoopy and Bonnie made a doxie friend, Watson, who had flown up from Long Beach with his dads.
Another Guerneville morning with Bonnie and Snoopy. They enjoy their field time and I love that they can safely be off-leash.
Here are pictures of Snoopy and Bonnie from this past week at the resort in Guerneville. I made sure to take a lot of pictures before her surgery, so this is just a sampling.
Lazybear 2024 Wednesday Evening
We got to R3 a little late for trivia night, but still had a good time hanging out with Shea’s cool friends from San Francisco.
I’m so glad we brought the dogs. I really wanted some quality time with Bonnie before her surgery, although I feel guilty that she has to be uncomfortable with the eye pressure that the medications can no longer completely control.

Lazybear 2024 Root Bear Float
Turtle spotting, duck invading, country-music-playing float with a bunch of queers down the Russian River only to finish off with someone on a paddleboard moving forward with a dog onboard!

Snoopy and Bonnie First Day in Guerneville
Smokefree Vacations Are Within Reach
I guess I get some credit for the enforcement of long-standing unincorporated Sonoma County Department of Health ordinances on smoking in resorts and bars. Much more signage and compliance so that those of us who wish to enjoy our expensive vacations in a forest can experience smoke-free air. Until I said something last year, the rules about smoking in Guerneville were completely unenforced. I’m so happy to have the conversation going about this and lots of people have thanked me for my activism in this area. However, for some reason, the brochure did not have the free ad for LGBTQ Minus Tobacco that they were supposed to keep in there again this year. I’m going around documenting the smoking areas that are away from pools and even in the covered area of the bar which was full of smoke with no rules for the staff or patrons who wished to be outside and to be able to breathe fresh air.
Inner Tubes Survived
We’re getting ready to float down the Russian River next week at Lazybear! I’m so pleased these two floaties survived the fire in January and seem to be intact and retaining air. We wouldn’t want to have them deflate when we’re an hour or two downriver!
