I’m so glad Michael and Antonio were able to take this gently used and huge umbrella that was at my house under renovation. I’m going to design a gazebo to cover this area and create privacy, but I know I’ll get to enjoy some of its shade and privacy at their pool since they’re moving in next to two of my other dearest friends nearby who also have a pool. Shea and I carefully mounted this huge thing on my SUV and drove it over where it was easily reassembled.
Shea captured this amazing butterfly at the side yard where we barely even walk.
GCCA hosted another successful community meeting, which focused on safety. We had the wonderful IHART program representatives explain what they are doing for our city, including outreach, with the hopes that the program expands. We also had the Deputy Police Chief speak for a while on updates for the understaffed Vallejo Police Department.
We had the honor of the mayor of Vallejo, Andrea Sorce, and the President of the Vallejo City Unified School District, John Fox, speak at the event, as well as representatives from the Cultivate Community Food Cooperative and a representative from SolTrans about the bus routes that are very likely going to be changed, including the 8 line which comes through Glen Cove.
Our microphones lasted right until the last few minutes. Thanks go to Shea for recording this session so that we could live stream it on Facebook and then save the recording here.

New foster Jonah from HSNB is available for adoption. This very sweet and adorable wired-hair terrier mix adult has been with us for a few days and is a joy to have around. He plays with our other two fosters, the litter mates Calvin and Hobbes, as well as Snoopy. He’s growing on Bonnie as well, and I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before he wins her over.

My friend Jeannette brought over two of her dogs to get groomed. Zorro was moving around too much for me to take pictures of him after he was groomed, but in this video you can see him and his father, Peanut, who now have their summer cuts ready to go.
We had handsome doxie mix PeeWee with us for about two weeks to “rehab” him and let him enjoy being in a home. I’m so proud that another foster dog that I could have easily fallen in love with did so well at his meet and greet today. He will be spoiled by his new family who he immediately took to. A sweet couple in Sonoma came to Vallejo to meet another dog, but their meet and greet didn’t go so well. Out of an abundance of caution, the adoption coordinator suggested I bring PeeWee and it was an instant connection.
Also while I was at the shelter, Drew and I posed with a regular donor who brought tons of toys of the shelter animals!
Happy black-and-gold themed birthday to Marc with a “c”! I am finally getting the pictures from his birthday party last weekend! I got my bling on with some tie clips trying to be creative at the last minute! Marc was so engaged and popular that evening he isn’t in any of these pictures, I’m afraid, but he is in the video.
