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.

Fort Cronkite

What a gorgeous day for a hike! It is hard to believe that it is the middle of December. It is hot and sunny!! We took a stroll around Fort Cronkite in the Marin Headlands, exploring all the historical buildings. Mummy and I like to check out the gun bunkers from the outside, whereas daddy likes to go inside and photograph...
Peek-a-Boo daddy!!
The view from up here is fabulous. The California coast stretches for miles to the left and right. Daddy likes to stand on the tallest object and survey the scenery. 

I like to survey daddy.
Daddy is very artistic when it comes to the composition of this photos. He spent quite a bit of time lining up this shot down the ladder into one of the gun turrets. No matter how long and hard I looked down it, I really couldn't see what the attraction was.
Here I am at the top taking in the view...
  
It is hot work walking up the headland hills, especially in this hot weather. We had to stop a lot of times for me to have some water from my bottle.
I was so thirsty that I drank...
...and drank....
...and drank!
We walked along the coastline until we found what we think was a helicopter landing pad. Mummy knelt down and kept calling me to come to her for a cuddle....
So I ran in and gave her a big kiss on the face!!
Ha! Ha! Ha! You weren't expecting that, were you mummy?!!
