  • Chase gets mauled!!

      Yuck - what I thought was seasonal allergies is actually a head cold!! I hope I get over this as fast as possible, but anyway, on to my story... 

    Hal found an enclosed dog park in Golden Gate park near the bison area, so we took Chase early Monday morning for a little fun with his pooch friends.  The dog area is huge! and has lots of grass to run on as opposed to some of the other park that are filled with wood chips (ouch!)

    Here's Chase getting mauled by a Besenji as a Vizsla looks on!

    Actually, all the Besenji got was a mouthful of undercoat as Chase remained unscathed.  Chase interestingly liked this little guy and kept on asking for more and the besenji readily consented.

    After awhile we walked over to the bison and neither dog nor bison seemed to be fazed.

     I couldn't get that perfect picture as Chase looked everywhere but the camera!

    Doggie sure likes to slumber on his back these days!

    I rarely get to mention Gigi and Cockles, but they are doing quite fine these wintry days.  Here's Gigi snacking on some parsley as Cockles gives her best red eye!

    Hal and I got a 20 gallon aquarium about a month ago and now that the canaries in the coalmine neon tetras and other starter fishes survived the initial die-off, both fish and aquarium are in their happy place, we've added two behemoth (at least to the size of the other fishes) koi.  Unlike me, I have yet to name these two guys but they all get along just fine.  I have some opaline gourami, red eye tetras, and rosy barbs to complete this community tank.  I read online that koi like peas so I thawed a little and plopped them in and sure enough they ate 'em!

    That's it for now!!

  • Cute!!  Looks like you have a houseful of interesting pets!!  You need a cat or two :)

  • There are bison in Golden Gate??

    I confess I missed them entirely the two times I've visited the park. It didn't even occur to me to look for something like that.

    Chase looks really big compared to when I saw him last April!

  • @tworavens - Yeah, he sure sprouted in a year's time, 2R!

  • I miss all five of you guys - and I wanna see the fishies. When do you get the puppy?

  • @jennconspiracy - Hey Jenn, it's been too long since we've seen you, we have to have you over for a Sunday brunch.  We have to wait until June for another puppy, meanwhile Chase is busy barking and chasing pigeons on the deck :)
