I Felt a Presence...

Georgia, MoriDog #146

At the Moss Beach Distillery, there is a legend of The Blue Lady, a ghostly vision that appears from time to time. She's sort of the mascot of the restaurant. We were having a nice hamburger there tonight, outside on the patio so that the canine member of our group could stay with us. Dinner arrived, and I commenced enjoying it. But I felt...a presence. Maybe it was the Blue Lady!! But out of the corner of my right eye, I saw what it was. Georgia, being very patient, was watching my every move. It's not that I was so interesting, but every movement revealed a french fry. I could feel Georgia willing me to move the fries closer...within reach...just a little bit more...

Georgia is rescued Boxer mix from New York. Her human is now at home in Berkeley, and Georgia likes the change. As mentioned above, her special power is Telekinesis, and her hobby is stealing plastic iced coffee cups.

The fries were long gone, but the delicious smell remained.

Chip

Chip, MoriDog #145

Chip and his human chose each other--he stayed WITH her, while the other puppies got distracted. At five months old, he already shows good doggy manners, being respectful toward older dogs and cats. He always comes when called, and being a Border Collie, pays close attention to his surroundings. Chip may sound like the perfect puppy, but the dirt crumbs around his muzzle didn't get there on their own. He DOES love to dig, and also sloshes through every mud puddle he finds.

Sunset Siberian

Lukie, MoriDog # 144

Today's MoriDog comes to you from Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Lukie was standing on the wall, which provided her a much better opportunity for petting and scratching. She is a rescued dog, likely Siberian Husky. When she gets the opportunity, he has been known to answer the "call of the wild," by going off on her own. This causes her human great anxiety, but she always comes back...on her OWN time!

Lukie knows that standing on the wall makes it easier for the humans to give her lots of scritches.

Two Christmas Poodles

Baron and Teddy Biscuit, Moridogs #142 and #143

I know that you are all thinking that these dogs aren't on Mori Point, or anywhere near the ocean. Sometimes I just have to include a dog or two that I find on my own, without Luna to help me. When I saw Baron and Teddy Biscuit posing in Union Square with their Santa hats on, I knew that they had to become MoriDogs.  It seems that this pair has won an award for Most Outstanding (Au Natural) in the 2013 Carmel Poodle Parade! I didn't know there was such a thing, but the website is worth a look! http://poodleday.com/winners/

Our award-winners as I first saw them.

Role Reversal

Maisie and Annie, MoriDogs #140 and 141

Maisie's human describes her as, "An old hippie. All peace, love and very Zen.  Other members of her human family have her brother and sister, and they enjoy visiting with each other. It's all good with Maisie--she hasn't a single bad habit.

Annie is Maisie's housemate. At one tenth her size, she is nonetheless the Alpha dog of the pack. Although a friendly and loving member of the family, she can be noisy. Annie is a far better retriever than Maisie.

Supermodel Tashi

Tashi, MoriDog #140

Tashi is one of those lucky dogs that has always had a stable, loving home. She loves her four cats and her squeaky toy. Outside, her favorite activity is to bark at her Jolly Ball as she pushes it around the yard, and when she gets tired of doing that, she eats rocks.

I usually include only ONE photo, but Tashi is particularly photogenic...

I just can't help myself with this dog!

Mori Point--Her Favorite Walk!

Wyla, MoriDog #139

Wyla was abandoned in San Bernadino as a puppy, and had nine different homes before coming to Pacifica. She is very well adjusted, and gets along with everyone and everything...except balloons. She was once waiting outside of Oceana Market, and she chewed through her leash in the effort to avoid an inflated 49ers player at the Longboard Bar.
