Two Neighbor Dogs

Have I mentioned how difficult it has become to find a NEW MoriDog on the trails? So I jumped at the chance when two neighbors invited me to photograph their dogs at their homes--still within sight of Mori Point!

Leila, MoriDog #113
Leila is a Havanese, a birthday present to her young human. It was a long ride up to Chico to choose from 6 puppies, but in the end, Leila did the choosing by jumping up on the couch to be with her new family. She greets everyone in her family with a daily kiss. Beasley, Leila's all-white half-sister, lives with Grandma.




TimberWoof, MoriDog #112

Timber probably has the greatest claim to the title, "MoriDog," because he was born and continues to live in Fairway Park, where Mori Point is visible from every home. He enjoys going on bike rides, but the pace has to be a little slow--at about 100 lbs, Timber doesn't move very fast. In this photo, he looks a little grumpy...but that's not in his nature. See those flowers in the background? Timber has been digging them up...and his human was telling the story as the photos were taken. Did he sense we were talking about him, and was he showing remorse? Or just annoyed because there wasn't a treat when we asked him to "stay?" One thing is certain--his weight didn't reach triple digits by working for free.
