With the great weather, we took Snoopy, Bonnie, and foster littermates Calvin & Hobbes (still available for adoption) to Wardlaw Park again this evening. I heard some women asking, “How does that dog even see?” when looking at Bonnie with her hair style, not realizing that she has no eyes until I told them. Moments later Bonnie walked through a little bowl of water. Most are really impressed by how she navigates and follows my voice when she’s off-leash.
HSNB President Linda borrowed foster dogs, Calvin & Hobbes, for some Cuddle Club pet therapy at a senior living facility here in Vallejo. I was so proud when I heard they were perfect ambassadors for the shelter.
Mike and Todd sent me these after they returned home with Miso, who will soon be renamed.
Miso getting to know his new feline sister:
Miso got adopted by my dear friends Mike & Todd today! It’s so great to foster a dog that is so loving and to know he’s going to be in their wonderful household, but even better knowing we’ll get to see him once in a while!
Cultivate Community Food Co-op is a mouthful, but what a great idea. I’ve been an owner for several years and look forward to that investment paying off in time.
Pictures from others at the same event:
Snoopy and Bonnie’s “before” pictures:
Bonnie and Snoopy had the first grooming of the year! The first picture is Bonnie before the grooming. I have some clean-up on Bonnie’s ears and Snoopy’s tail to do, but it wasn’t bad for doing it with some time pressure.
Today’s row came with a drone accompaniment. It was driven from shore by coxswain Eric.
I also managed to capture these two loving non-love birds as they flew away together.
I participated in Saturday morning’s “skills row” for newbies with Solano Rowing Club. We always have some experienced rowers on the boat, particularly when we go out into the open water, although the conditions were amazing. I keep reminding myself how lucky we are to be in a place where we can do this year-round. Unfortunately, I didn’t have many opportunities to snap photos in this row. It was all over before I knew it.
Three triplet (not literally) chihuahua (mix) fosters. Lucky Miso (who looks like a miniature German Shepherd) is going to his new forever home tomorrow! Calvin & Hobbes are the other two who are actually litter mates. We’re still hoping they still get adopted together. Apply at HSNB! They’re all about 1.5 years old, perfectly healthy, neutered, and house-trained.
