| 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. |

| Rocky is originally from Modesto, but like most Pacificans, he has acclimated to the coastal breezes, and now couldn't think of living in the central valley heat. |

| Before she came to her "real" family, Rosie was living outside in a doghouse full time. Her new family changed all that, and now she even has a dog friend, Sammy. |
 |
| Sammy doesn't hunt, except maybe for the treat that he seems to be expecting in this photo. He doesn't even know he is a hunting dog. His buddy Rosie probably doesn't know that she's a hunting dog, either. Just as well. |

| She may be small now, but this little girl may grow up to as large as TEN pounds!! (That's a joke...ten pounds is smaller than each of Luna's cat's...) Bella is the most recent "local" MoriDog. At 3 months, she's a little young to be out on the trail--Luna and I encountered her and her human in their front yard. Clearly, Bella is somewhat Chihuahua. The other might be Jack Russell Terrier, making her the designer breed, "Taco Terrier." She knows how to play fetch, and has a well-developed sock-chewing habit. She's working on the sock thing. |

| What a darling profile! Peaches is a 10 year old Chihuahua mix. Her humans come all the way from San Francisco to walk in our Scenic Pacifica, which makes me pause and appreciate the beauty we have. According to the humans who rescued her, Peaches has NO bad habits! That is a "first" here at MoriDogs! |

| One of the things I love about doing this blog, besides meeting the dogs and people, is that I get to learn new things about dogs. Until this morning, I didn't know that there is a distinction between a Labradoodle and the Australian Labradoodle. It's too long to go into here, but if you Google it, you'll know too, and see some darling puppy pictures along the way. Charlie is of the Australian variety. He's about 7 months old, and his human is doing a brilliant job with his training. Dried chicken helps a lot, which Charlie was kind enough to share with Luna. Charlie loves to run in the surf, and do the "high five." (For a piece of chicken, of course! See below.) |

| Sierra is a Miniature Australian Shepherd--everything that is lovable in a regulation Aussie, in a tiny package. Here she is, waiting very patiently for her human to finish interacting with the birds. She came to her current home because of a divorce, but has a very nice second life now, complete with her own cat. Her human has created a memorial to his past dogs--if you climb Bootlegger Steps, you might see CJ's and Toby's names inscribed in seats he made and installed there. We're hoping that Sierra's name won't be up there for a very long time. |
