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.

The things we do for charity!

Photo credits for some of these are Andrea Rodoni and Manny Furtado.

Kauai November 2022

We saw 2-6 giant turtles beaching themselves each night we went over.
Our first sunset of this trip at Poipu beach, a short walk from our rental.
Kayaking, hiking and general adventuring was fun, with a motor ride back.

Kawai Field Trip from Kauai Humane Society

The first time Shando and I were in Kauai in 2018 we promised ourselves that we would participate in this when we returned since that trip was full of activities and we didn’t have the time.

This shelter has amazing grounds and a great program to allow tourists on Kauai to take a shelter animal on a field trip. Kawai was a wonderful older female who we enjoyed bringing to an arboretum up a mountain and then to a dog-friendly beach.

HSNB.org at Farmers Market

Halloween was in the air at the Farmers Market on this day when we tabled for Humane Society of the North Bay, as volunteers and I do about once a month year-round. In hindsight, we REALLY should have had some candy to hand out. Oops.

GVRD Pup-kin Patch Dog Festival

I tabled for the Humane Society of the North Bay again at the Greater Vallejo Recreational District‘s first Pup-kin Patch Dog Festival. Shando came later with our most ambulatory dogs and he caught the eye of a photojournalist.

This photo of Shando and the dogs appeared in the Vallejo Times Herald the next day!

This picture was Shando’s debut in the local newspaper (with Montague, Capulet, Peaches and Polar)!
