dogs in san francisco

June 18, 2007 at 4:52 am · Filed under living with people, dog's eye view, out and about

my people were talking about an article in the sf chronicle that talks about dogs in san francisco. they said the article confirmed that this is one of the most dog friendly cities. they also tell me that about paris, but it is too far for me to go there. must be a nice place if people love dogs so much.

let me tell you, san francisco is great for dogs. lots of stores let you in - even if you are a big dog. we went to the apple store a few months ago and i met a great dane that was gigantic. well, he was to me anyway. there he was shopping for computers. my people keep teasing about get me a ‘paw pilot’ - though i have to admit, i have never seen one.

as i was saying, this is a great town to be a dog. people that own stores leave out dog bowls and the retaurants and bars are great. places i have eaten [outside, of course] : la mediterranee [my own personal water bowl brought to my table], java house [the owner gives me some snacks, sometimes], left at albuquerque, cafe neibaum coppola, calzones, kate o’briens, squat and gobble, whiz burger, care abir and atlas cafe. some places even have special hooks out front for my people to hitch me up. at amoeba records, they give me a dog biscuit when i walk in the door!

and the pet stores are great. lots of them put the treats in low bins and tubs so that you can browse at your leisure. i haven’t found a bad one yet. sure, i have may favorites. you can see a few under links, but that is a whole review for another day.

it’s good to be a dog.

socks are hot

i dig socks.

see, i don’t have a girlfriend or partner. honestly, in some ways, i prefer socks. socks don’t give me any grief or have any expectations. they are close to my size and soft.

when my people leave socks around, i find them immediately. i swoop in and dance and sing around them. i court them and woo them, and they are always happy to see me. they love my songs and especially love the way i dance. i can tell.

sometimes we just cuddle together. sometimes i dance with my sock, throwing her around with my beak in a impassioned tango. always, it’s give and take as my sock gives me that coquettish look.

socks are hot.

dead things

June 9, 2007 at 3:17 am · Filed under simple things, dog's eye view

i heard about a dead whale while my people were watching television.

apparently, no one wants to take it away and it is near some houses and very stinky. wish i knew where it was and how to get there.

see i love stuff like this.

a few years ago, my people took me for a ride to a beach below half moon bay. i still remember it like it was last week. they were looking for rocks for a fountain and i was just looking for interesting stuff. i was a few yards away and went to check out a very intriguing smell behind some big rocks.

it was awesome. i think this seal had been dead at least 10 days. it smelled great and looked like fun. so, i rubbed my back on it first. then, i just kind of laid on it ,on my back, as best i could and rolled around. and then i rolled around some more.

and then my people found me. i don’t think they appreciated dead things the way i do.

they freaked out and took me to the water and tried to rinse me and rub sand on my coat. but i was too good at this and they couldn’t get that smell off me.

so they made me leave in a big hurry, with towels all over the back seat. but i got to ride home - almost an hour and a half - fast with all of the windows open.

oh yeah.
