automatic windows

have i mentioned that i love going for a drive? that’s right, i think i have.

well i just wanted to remark on the efficiency of automatic windows. in years past, my cars have had windows that my people had to work. but these days, all i have to do is go up to the window and it rolls right down. once i stick my head out, it automatically adjusts so that my collar doesn’t bang on it and make noise. when the car gets going fast, the window automatically rolls up for safety.

sometmes the windows can have problems where they don’t roll down fast enough or take too long to start working. when this happens i just give a little cry and the windows hear me and start to work.

got to love modern technology.

summertime

summertime can be great.

i love how the fog comes in every night and cools you off. i am a shepherd/husky mix and i am fuzzy. my people say i am extra fuzzy. i don’t know about that.

anyway, the fog comes in at night and makes it cool and drizzly for my nighttime walk. that is perfect for me. i like to walk around my neighborhood and smell all of the smells of the day. i know most of the dogs and people nearby and can tell if they have gone down this path earlier in the day. i know a lot about the comings and goings of our neighborhood this way.

you can’t keep any secrets from a dog.

4th of july

ah, it’ that time again - the 4th of july.

ripi spends the day giving off his one time warnings when he hears the little stuff go off. but i know what today is. i am no fool.

today is the day when i hear the booms and hisses around my block. tonight i will see the crazy fireworks show. some of it on my block, and some from the show on the bay. i like the homey feel of the local show, but the one on the bay is the one to see.

my favorite part, of course, is the people. i have noticed that not many dogs go, so i get more of the love. i like the fireworks fine, as i have been going since i was little, except for the ones that come down over your head and spread out. when those happen, my people cover my eyes. thank you people.

when we lived near duboce park and in the western addition, my people used to take me on the 22 fillmore to the marina. yes, dogs can ride the bus if they have a muzzle. i wear it to get on, but i move it to the side when i am in my seat and riding. i am very chill, so of course, i get lots of love from the people around me.

after the show, we would walk through north beach and i would in sit with my people and get a late night dinner, as there are are lots of tables outside. then we might walk to market and take the underground or walk home.

it’s a long night, but always a good adventure.

some dogs like the 4th of july.
