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.

What's Up at the Marshes?

Hey Memo Mates - What's Up?!
I've been playing down at the marshes again and at this time of year, you know what that means...tennis balls, water and mud!! 

The winter rains have filled up the central grassy area and made a beautiful lake. It's surrounded by white birds who seem happy to watch me play. There's no end to the fun a dog can have squashing his tennis ball into the muddy wetland grass!

 Every now and then I give mummy a chance to get the ball so that she can throw it for me. Well at least I give that impression. As soon as she gets close enough to pick it up, I dart in and steal it! Here I am giving her a false sense of security that she can beat me to it this time. As you can see, it makes me smile just thinking about how futile that is!


 Being a cheeky dog can be very tiring though. In the end I simply lay down and keep the ball all to myself, chewing it until it's a muddy spit ball. Thats the best!


 ... and all the while, the white birds just continue to line up and watch me play...
