Bison


Last year, the bison paddock at SF Golden Gate Park gained some new herd members..
The old and young bison are all mingling now. I don't think Tomokee actually sees them. If he did, I'm sure his reaction would be very vocal.

Tiled Steps


We took a hike with Tomokee up the Moraga Steps in San Francisco's sunset district. At the top of the steps is the tiny Grand View Park, which provides great views of the city.

Many of the tiles on the steps were sponsored by residents who got their names engraved onto them. Eagle-eyed Bruce spotted one tile that was engraved with something a bit more unconventional.

Happy Birthday, Tomokee!


Tomokee recently celebrated his sixth birthday. He still zooms around like a crazed puppy at least once a day.

Carmel

We went to Carmel-by-the-Sea last weekend and a visit to Carmel always involves a visit to the beach with Tomookee. It was overcast for 2 days, but by Monday morning, the weather was gorgeous.

A sand castle contest was held the day before, and quite a few of the sand sculptures survived the overnight tides. Here's a lovely "castle" that looks like a roast pig.


Next, we have a hammerhead shark.


This one is difficult to see, but it is Neptune, and the other dog is Breezy, Tomokee's running buddy on the beach that morning.

I really like this one. It's a squid, and seaweed is used as the tentacles - very clever!

Here's a turtle, and I believe we can see Breezy again.


This photo is not from the beach. Tomokee is standing in front of one of the shop windows. We were tempted, but did not ask about the "personalized pet perfumes".

Sunny day in the Sunset


Summer in San Francisco can be pretty darn cold. This is especially true in the Sunset district.
Some of the best weather comes in September and October, and last weekend was the first beautiful sunny day in a while. This view is from the Sunset Reservoir, and you can see the Golden Gate Bridge out in the distance. On days like that, walking the dog is a glorious activity.
