Matty sleep walking on couch
What’s also interesting is that this is a blind dog. I wonder if he was able to see in the past and remembers running.
Here’s Matty when he’s awake:

Humane Society North Bay Good News
We had a lot of good things going on in February with the Humane Society of the North Bay shelter!
We were given a check from the Vallejo Waterfront Festival as one of the non-profits that benefitted from this two-day event in 2022. Photo courtesy of Vallejo Times Herald.
Volunteers from Cal Maritime Academy here in Vallejo came to volunteer with us, as they regularly do.
My friends and fellow volunteers, Linda Overton and Carlene Coury take two seniors to the wonderful Muttville facility in San Francisco.
Non-profits helping each other!
Yesterday several of us on the Board of the Humane Society of the North Bay (please donate at HSNB.org) received a generous beneficiary check from the Vallejo Waterfront Weekend, as did numerous other local charities. Go Vallejo!
Foster Snoopy Arrives
Found wandering around Vallejo with no microchip and no collar, Snoopy came across as a senior with his white whiskers, mangy hair, and a disheveled look. I didn’t really like him at first especially because he would dart out the door and at one point I had to run after him in slippers. He did not know his name. That was before we had him microchipped and neutered, and also before we put an external gate on our front porch.
I named him after a similarly-colored dog that my grandfather had when I was very young. My grandfather was a big fan of Charles Schultz’s Peanuts comic strip.

Night in Napa with Light Show
One of the joys of living in Vallejo is that we are adjacent to Napa County. In the city of Napa itself, we had a wonderful meal with a bunch of friends and had a long walk through the downtown area to see many light exhibits. The revamped downtown is very Parisian. There was lots of nightlife, a lot of live music and joy, despite the chill in the air.
We ate at a great Mexican restaurant on the river with heating lamps outside. Walking around town I noticed at least two groups of people who were speaking Italian, to my surprise. Here are some images of our evening.
