About Me

My photo
I'm a dog. Dog is good! I was born in 2007 on the day after Christmas, which makes me a late present... I live in Marin, California with my human daddy, Dan and human mummy, Angela. They wanted to adopt a rescue puppy and although they were pre-approved, the organization declined them at the last minute because they work (while also telling them that dogs are expensive to keep). Mummy and daddy were very sad but it all turned out for the best - we all got to rescue each other and they get to spend their hard earned money on me! I'm a lovable chap and enjoy swimming, snow, tennis balls, cuddling and having my tummy rubbed. Not necessarily in that order.

My First Black Tie Gala

What an exciting time! I was allowed to go to my first charity event: Black Tie & Tails at the Ritz Carlton hotel at the Northstar ski resort in Tahoe. The event was to raise money for the Tahoe Truckee Humane Society. They look after animals who unlike me, are not fortunate enough to have a home of their own or human companions to look after them. I don't have a black tail but mummy and daddy did buy me my very own black tie. All the other guests commented on how especially dashing I looked. I was also very well behaved, lying at daddy's feet next to the table even when a large drunk lady fell on me - four times!!! Here's a picture of the three of us looking very posh in our black tie outfits.
