Dog Torture then Dog Paradise

On our drive down we killed some time at a Petco while I got new tires put on my car. The best section for doggy torture was definitely the clothing aisle.

Xylo gets the tough black hat. Xylo has Addison's disease - that is why he looks so stiff and boney. He is 8 but he is stiff and arthritic like a much older dog. He still acts his age in every other way though, including having tons of fun running around with Abby and Ryan.

"Real men wear pink"
...suuuuure Ryan.

All three modeling. People must be used to seeing very badly behaved dogs - we got quite a few comments about how good our dogs were just by having them sit still for pictures in their shirts.And then, on to doggy paradise! This is a big dog park in San Francisco called Chrissy Fields. When we arrive the Golden Gate Bridge was invisible due to the fog. Eventually it started to clear but never lifted completely. What an amazing dog beach! Later in the trip we found a baby Great White shark washed up dead on the beach in Oregon. Abby better never swim out deep enough to be shark bait - she thrashes so much while swimming that she'd attract shark attention for sure! ;)
Three happy tired dogs at the end of a good run.
