Mesmerized

We here at the Tomokee household are not exactly video gamers. However, after playing with the Wii Fit at the home of some friends, we just HAD to get one. So far, we've only purchased the basic Wii unit because the stores are out of stock of the Wii Fit. For some reason, Tomokee is fascinated by the Wii setup process, especially with creating the Mii avatars. We don't know if it's the avatar faces, or the oddly vibrating Wii cursor, or the bloop-bloop-blooping sounds during setup, but Tomokee just stares and stares and stares....

Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays, everyone!

Mr. Loud goes to the dog park

We took Tomokee to the dog park on Black Friday, figuring it would be a quiet day, but nooo...., everybody and their dogs were there, all thinking the same thing. Included in the population were five huskies, a couple of whom ran with Tomokee. T-dog was particularly annoying -- just bark, bark, barking at every dog to get them to play, play, play with him.

Happy Birthday, Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Birthday, Tomokee! We're thankful (most of the time!) that you've made it to your third year.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Beach photo

The weather is getting drearier. It's time for a beach photo. This one is from our most recent trip in October to Carmel-by-the-Sea. Tomokee was thoroughly enjoying himself.

Sign sign everywhere a sign

This sign was spotted on the front door of a shop in Truckee, CA.

This one was in the lounge of the Cypress Inn in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

So, this dog walks into a bar ...

These photos were taken in the lounge of the Cypress Inn hotel in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The lounge is called Terry's Lounge, and the bartender wears a vest, as it should be. This was near closing time, so Drago, the bartender on duty, let us perch Tomokee at the bar. And no, Tomokee did not get to enjoy any of the alcoholic beverages.
