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.

Roadside Assist

This is what my doggy pals and I look like when we are chilling out at the Toyota car dealer! Aren't we well-behaved?

This morning, on our way to our dog walk, our transport broke down and our walker/chauffeur had to take the car to get repaired... and of course, we had to come too. It's a new adventure for my dog-walking pals and I! 

It was a longer adventure than expected and the new smells and surroundings quickly became old smells and surroundings. So we all got in a dog pile and had a nap!

Selfie!

Daddy and I are perfecting the art of the selfie. 

What do you think? Are we a handsome pair, or what?!

Oh crumbs!!

That moment when your Milk Bone explodes all over the kitchen floor and you try to quickly eat it up before mummy notices....!

Time Out Time



Life is good! Really good! 

I am so excited about being back at one of my favourite places that I have officially reverted back to being a puppy. The aches and pains in my joints seem to have disappeared as I race up and down the beach chasing my tennis ball and splashing in the waves. 

I'm driving daddy crazy with all my barking but I can't help it. I am so happy!!

So he took the tennis ball away to give me a time out!

Barking Mad


Woo hoo!!!!!! It's time to party!!

I am back at one of my favorite places - Carmel Beach!! All of a sudden my arthritis isn't an issue and I can zoom about on the sand, feeling the granules between my toes. I can play with my tennis ball in the surf and chase it along the beach as the waves carry it back and forth. I feel young again and can't help but bark with joy. Over and over and over again! 

Daddy says I've gone barking mad!!
...I barked so much that I tired  myself out and had to have a lie down on the sand!
(much to daddy's delight!)

Where's mummy?

Daddy and I are waiting for mummy to come home from work so we can have dinner and play!!

Chop chop, mummy!!


I asked daddy which way he thought mummy would come from. From the right, daddy? No, Milo, he said. From straight ahead...


Oh yes!!! There she is is!!! Welcome home mummy!!!

Dog Wood!

Apparently this amazing tree in my front garden is a Dogwood. I don't know why it's called that - I can't see any dogs on it!!

I tried to leave my mark on it so dogs would know to come and visit it......but mummy told me off.....

Cruisin' with my Co-Pilot

A good companion shortens the longest road.... And every journey is better with a chauffeur. Especially one who lets you ride shotgun. 

Thanks mummy! (Daddy won't let me ride shotgun!!)

First Day Back At Work

Mummy had to get up very early today. It's the first day back at work after the Christmas and New Year holidays. First day at work for the new year! 

Luckily for daddy and I, we get to roll over and snuggle back down into the warm duvet. I took over mummy's whole side of the bed so that daddy didn't miss her at all. 


Daddy did eventually get up and do an hour long workout in the gym. Then he had breakfast. Then he checked in on me. 

No worries. I'm still here...snuggling in the duvet. I don't do work. I'm Milo the dog, for goodness sake!!
