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.

Never Run With Sticks

I've been feeling a little under the weather, Memo Fans. I found myself back at the vet today after a little accident while running with a stick. 

My friends and I were playing chase with a stick. I was very excited that I got it - I grabbed one end and ran away really fast. Unfortunately, my paw to eye coordination was not working as well as my legs. The stick was a bit lop-sided and got stuck in the ground. So even though I ran fast, the stick stopped dead still. The momentum forced the end in my mouth under my tongue and cut it really deeply. 

That was a shock and pain that brought the game to a sudden halt! 
Boy did I yelp! 

I had to have stitches and am now on antibiotics and painkillers. The really bad news is that I'm not allowed to run around or play with tennis balls, sticks or other hard toys for at least a week!

The good news is that I have to have soft food so my kibble comes covered in gravy...oh, and I get lots of attention and naps on the deck with daddy, who seems to think my bed is his!

The Milo Train

It's official .... I snore. Like a train. 

(believe it or not, you may have to turn the volume up to hear it!!)

Hiking Hill 88

It is another beautiful sunny winter day in Marin! 

Daddy, mummy and I hiked to the top of Hill 88, which overlooks one of my favourite beaches, Rodeo Beach. It was a little windy but gorgeous nonetheless....especially because of us two good looking chaps!

Patience is a Virtue

Good things come to those who wait. I am waiting for daddy to throw me a tennis ball!


In this one, I am waiting (again!) for daddy to finally take the photo. 
I love this shot though because I look very magical, just like my American Kennel Club name.... Osborne's Green-wing MAGIC Milo!
