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.

Selfie's!

Check us out! Mummy and I went to the marshes for our walk this morning. After chasing the tennis ball for a while, we sat down and took pictures of ourselves - 'selfies'!

How cute are we?!!

After the "selfies", mummy took photos of me. Personally, I think these are much cuter.
In this photo, the tennis ball and I are having a stare down. I'm waiting patiently for it to roll itself over to me....
 ...but no matter how long I wait, tennis balls never seem to roll themselves. So I have to help them.

Oh What A Beautiful Morning!

Daddy and I got up early today and while everyone else stayed sleeping in bed, we took a stroll along the beach to watch the sun come up. 
I really love this place. Here I am thinking about all the fun things we did this week, but you know what I am thinking the most? 
Life in Carmel sure is good.

Surfer Dawg

Today we went and explored another wonderful beach! 
It is called Monastery Beach and while I have no idea what that means, I think it must mean something good. Just look at this beautiful sand.
It's ideal for digging and hiding tennis balls so that I can re-discover them over and over and over again.
Best of all though, this beach is great for surfing!! 
Now surfing takes a lot of skill. 
First you have to time the entry, bounding over the incoming waves at just the right moment so that you can leap over it without getting a muzzle full of salt water.
Then you have to fetch the target. In this case it was one of mummy's flip flops. She lost the other one in the waves. She blamed it on me but really it was her fault as she just wasn't timing the waves properly.
Once you have the flip flop, you need to start cruising slowly into shore. Again, the timing is critical. You need to make sure you catch a wave at just the right moment.
If you catch it right, it will lift you up and carry you forward.
You will pick up speed and whoosh! You are carried safely into shore.
At this point, you can saunter out of the surf with all the swagger befitting a surfer dawg!
And because everyone loves a surfer dawg, you get to chill out afterwards with your groupies!
