Luna, meet Luna!

Luna, MoriDog #124
Luna was found wandering the streets of Oakland, picked up by Pets in Need in Redwood City, and has been with her human for about 7 years. She eats everything in sight, and particularly enjoys grazing on the trail. Luna's human tells me that her special ability is that she can gaze directly into your soul. I didn't realize it at the time I took this photograph, but I think she's doing it right here.

We didn't get blown off the Point, but only just...

This blustery day, when the ocean froth was blowing all the way up to the trail, Luna came upon four new dogs.

Ripley, MoriDog #120

7 years ago, Ripley's first human was transferred to Canada. There is a very long quarantine period for dogs entering Canada, so it was decided that Ripley would  better off in his current home. A Whippet-Labrador mix, she is still working on her  relationships with other dogs, but she and Luna got on very well. Butts were sniffed, and life goes on.




John Duke, MoriDog #121, 
Patsy Mae, MoriDog #122 and 
Dudley, MoriDog #123

That's Dad on the left, Mom in center, and their 4-month-old puppy Dudley on the right. Mom and Dad are attentively posing, but Dudley wanted none of that sitting-still stuff. You can almost see him roll his eyes impatiently.

New puppy next door!!

Petunia, MoriDog #119

Petunia really isn't old enough to be outside yet, so we are lucky to get a glimpse of her. Since she needed to get inside to warm up, I didn't press for details, but I'm eager to find out how her housemate Boots (MoriDog#100) feels about her. Details as they happen!

Spring comes to Pacifica

We are so lucky to live here, where we can enjoy a sunny day in February. With the spring comes Luna's birthday; she is now officially twelve years old. She's a young 12 despite her grey muzzle, (she is a GREYhound, after all) perhaps in part due to the fresh sea air of Mori Point.

Jessie Jane, MoriDog #118
Jessie enjoys a vigorous scratch in the warm sun. Soon after acquiring Jessie, she and her human met another Golden Retriever named Jesse James. No relation,  they're just good friends.
