Good Things Come in Threes

Luna and I decided to get a walk in before the rain started. Lots of others had the same idea, which produced three MoriDogs today. The first one, Milli, looks as if her bangs are obscuring her vision. Actually, our diminutive MoriDog #20 is completely blind, so it doesn't bother her at all. Like most dogs who lose their vision, Milli has adapted very well, and still enjoys all the smells and sounds during her regular walks on the trail. She wasn't always so lucky. Her former owner had gone away to college, and the college student's mother was keeping Milli outside. Milli didn't like that very much, and escaped regularly. Finally, the animal shelter began looking for a better home for her, which is how she came to live in Pacifica.

Copper is a ChowChow/Terrier mix about 1 year old.  He was originally found in Lodi, watching the cars go by on the Interstate. Luckily for him, a driver from Petfinders noticed him, and was able to coax him into the car. Copper was almost named "Rusty," but during of his first walks, and before he had a permanent name, another dogwalker right here on Mori Point suggested the name "Copper," and it stuck, sort of like the sand on his nose in this photo. Here's MoriDog #21.

Dog #22 is a local boy, having started life at Shamrock Ranch. Cody is a year-old Australian Shepherd, whose training is coming along nicely. Luna watched him wait (if not patiently) in a long "stay," until his owner released him to retrieve a tennis ball. Good dog, Cody!!
