Happy Birthday, Tomokee!

Tomokee recently had a birthday. He's four years old now. He's still a loon, but a much more obedient loon!

Baylands walk

It was a gorgeous day last Saturday, and we hadn't taken Tomokee on any walks outside of the normal walking areas, so we decided to take him on a stroll along the Baylands preserve. The geese and waterfowl were all out and about and Tomokee enjoyed himself thoroughly, as he always does.

BFFs

Tomokee enjoyed a play date last night with Agave, one of his best friends forever. Here they are taking a break on our back patio

Tomokee in Carmel

Last weekend was one of those Carmel-By-the-Sea weekends. I love Carmel. Tomokee loves Carmel. Here is enjoying a walk in the Mission Trail Nature Preserve.
Our next hike was in Garland Ranch Regional Park, where Tomokee can go leashless. Yay!

Of course, every dog must have his day on the beach.

Finally, we outfitted T-dog with a brand new collar from Diggidy Dog.

Tomokee and cats

Tomokee LOVES cats. Actually, we're not sure if he just loves cats, or he just doesn't know what to make of them. When he sees one, as long as it's not running, he will just stare and stare in a frozen posture. It's actually difficult to pull him away and continue the walk. Here he is "interacting" with Beau from the neighborhood.

Here, he's staring at Athens, also from the neighborhood, who is retreating behind the car.

Golden Gate Park

We decided to make a trip up to San Francisco and take Tomokee through Golden Gate Park. It's not an off-leash park, but it's still plenty of fun. There are lots of dogs, ducks, seagulls, and other life forms.
Here's Tomokee on the shore of Stow Lake. (I'm always amazed that his rear end does not touch the ground when he sits)

Here he is sitting in front of a tea house structure also on the shore of Stow Lake.

Tomokee as fashion model

And here is Tomokee, sporting a lovely wool hand knitted and felted tote, stylishly worn as a messenger bag.

I finished this knitted project and persuaded Tomokee to model it for my knitting blog.
