The Cook at Dog Beach

[Seefutlung]

It was terribly hot in SoCal this weekend. 105F just a few miles inland, 112F in Woodland Hills, 115F in Palm Springs. I stayed indoors all weekend nursing the tail end of a crappy summer cold with the A/C set at 78F. According to State and Local power experts ... anyone setting their A/C at 77F or lower will be individually responsible for blowing the power grid and creating rolling blackouts ... I did venture out Saturday evening taking Cookie, aka The Cook, to Dog Beach.

I really like that sunset shot and the pups look like they had so much fun! We are probably responsable if the grid blows....we set our AC down to 77 at night

OMG! NUMBER 1 is SOOO good! The dog on the right had great expression!

It instills a magical feeling, I can't quite word it out, but it reminds me of friendship and adventure.
