Monte and Cappy looked pretty shabby when we got back from Europe, so instead of dealing with trying to get them trimmed up myself (especially around their sensitive feet), we had them professionally groomed again.  We’re very happy with the results from a local groomer here in Castro Valley.  Another picture has Tucker taking advantage of the guest room having recently been vacated.

We only stopped by for a little while, but it was nice to see a bunch of people we hadn’t seen in a while.  The Yorkie shown is NOT ours, but rather one of a friend of ours who I’ve known for years.  I was glad to get the picture with the Hillary placard.  I have one with Obama from eight years ago!  The corndog prop I’m holding is known as a “porndog,” in case you’re wondering.  I’m vegetarian, but it was a prop that my friend John had many of his friends hold.  I don’t know if he even ate it afterwards!

Got to see my Zia Marisa and Zio Gino and their granddaughter on our way to the airport.

We went to a nice vegetarian restaurant in Jack London Square.

While visiting my sister in Granite Bay, we took some time to go to Sacramento for their pride festival.  It was very hot, but a dry hot!  Notice the coca-cola theme with Shando’s shirt and the diabetes booth.

Shando didn’t want to bring the dachshunds up the steps, but the views were breathtaking on this gorgeous day.  I don’t think I had been to this particular spot at the Coyote Hills Park in Fremont since the 1980’s.
