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.

Summer in Sonoma

What a year it has been for holidays! Mummy and daddy decided to save money by taking local holidays instead of flying somewhere exotic. This has been great for me as I have been able to join them on the holidays!!

Most recently we rented a house in the Sonoma wine country. It had a great saline pool and I was allowed to play in it all the time! I had so much fun swimming around and around.


When I wasn't swimming, I was practicing my doggy diving skills.


Daddy found a colourful ball for me to play with in the swimming pool. He would throw it into the water and I would watch and wait for it to drift slowly back to me. 


Sometimes it would require real patience and focus. I would will that ball to drift back to me...

...until it was close enough to scoop up! 

And after all the swimming and diving and playing with the ball, daddy and mummy would take me for lunch at a fabulous restaurant. Here are daddy and I hanging out and being cool dudes. 

I love summer holidays with mummy and daddy.....
