The Coffee House

If that isn't a cute little face I don't know what is!

Two Pinots and a Pony, that's a place I'd like to visit.

Babcock has an interesting tasting room. Half antique store half wine shop and it is dog friendly. The next three wine tasting parties after Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary, all had dogs. The wines were good, the room was warehouse sized and full of interesting stuff and the dogs were fun.

Miss Maggie would love to play with your pups.

Webster wants to play in the mud. Webster's fixed but he is still horny, so we need to watch for that....

Spent an enjoyable afternoon yesterday. Have put together an informal photography club with a group of friends and neighbors who are of various skill levels. Round table discussion on the basics of a good exposure, followed by hands on practice in studio. Lots of laughs and good times, as each swapped out as model/photographer. Only bad thing is I was having so much fun watching them, I didn't shoot any

Well had a nice me and Susie walk time, left the camera at home for a change. Have been trying to get practice in using layers in C1, oh what fun that is.

Dog walks are good. There are some beautiful walks around here. It's a little awkward taking pictures. I keep Sara on a leash in case she picks up an interesting scent. I haven"t seen many animals yet , but there some dudes around that I don't want to meet.

Nearly every single day Maggie flings herself into the creek and mud. Nearly every single day she gets hosed down. Every day when we hit the driveway, Mary Lou or Gary tells her "Grass Maggie" and she reluctantly drags herself to the front grass for a hosing. The morning hosing is good practice for Gary in civil disobedience training.

I think it is really good that some times I will not take the Fuji out, so it is just me and Susie. Times like that I really do love.

Maggie's BFF (Best Furry Friend) is Max, a Golden Retriever mix. Max is overly protective of Maggie. Max gets jealous when Maggie plays with other dogs. Often, Max's human will leash Max up so Maggie can play with others. After playtime, Max is sullen and sulks at Maggie. Maggie will skip up to Max with this "Come-on Maxie, let's play...." then trots by him with some creek treasure or runs circles around him with a toy and Max totally ignores her. It's pretty funny.

Maggie pinning Max.

This is in the patio, after our walk and Maggie's daily hosing. Max is too tired to get up after running miles through the creek with Maggie. After our morning constitutional, Max and Mike (Max's human), usually come by for coffee and treats.

Maggie walks sans leash, until we meet an unknown dog. Gary has trained her to be Street Wise and she won't stray into the street, even if chasing a cat. Off leash she has the freedom just a be a dog. To run like a dog, play like a dog, investigate smells like a dog. Gary likes her to be a dog and not a pet. Gary limits her training to safety issues, Stop, Come, Sit, Stay, Vacuum ...

Living in an urban area, the largest neighborhood wild animal are coyotes. At 35 lbs, she's at a size where the coyotes think thrice about about challenging Maggie. Besides there are enough lap dogs, cats and bunnies around ... low hanging fruit ... easier pickings. But, I always keep Maggie in my sight. Maggie's morning park is long and narrow, easily scanned for dangers. The park has no restrooms, no parking, fenced in, hidden with few entrances/exits rendering the park quite free of visitors.

All Gary's photos of Miss Maggie were captured with an iPhone.
