Actually, I’ve got two scoop law signs for you from our recent trip to Vancouver, B.C. The first is from a city park in downtown Vancouver, and although it gets around the problem of depicting dog poop too realistically, I think it goes too far in the other direction:
The other sign is one that I saw frequently during the course of the afternoon.… Read the rest
Reader Jane sent me this photo of her dog Emma at the ocean’s edge in Maine, about a month ago: “Emma made a beeline for the ocean waves when she realized the yard we were in headed down to the beach.”… Read the rest
Chloe and I were driving home to Seattle from Vancouver this past Sunday, and I realized after a few miles that she was panting — although there’s an A/C vent for the right rear passenger seat, and the car was cool, she was still heating up in the sun.… Read the rest
Seward Park is a 300-acre thumb of land that pokes into Lake Washington just east of “mainland” Seattle and just north of Renton. It’s a wonderful playground, featuring a 2.4 mile biking and walking path around its edge and a web of forest trails — and when I say forest, I mean serious trees:
That’s what the interior of the park looks like.… Read the rest
On a gorgeous day like today, it’s hard to remember that two weeks ago, Chloe and I were huddled up together on the sidelines of a lacrosse game in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. Yep, that’s her on my lap — the game field prohibited pet dogs, but I reasoned that in the open air, silent in her stealth bag, Chloe couldn’t possibly irritate or injure anyone else.… Read the rest
The epic driving trip I’m currently taking was planned around the New York State High School Rowing Championships, held outside Saratoga Springs last weekend. My niece and her teammates were rowing in a Junior 4+ boat, and a passel of relatives showed up to cheer them on in the drizzle and, then, rain.… Read the rest
Chloe and I have been driving around New England since last Friday (I’ll be telling you more about this trip in upcoming posts), and yesterday my friend Deb took us and Cal, her Border Collie, to Woods Hole, at the very beginning of Cape Cod.… Read the rest
I’ve threatened to write a “Snapshot Saturday” post before, but this is the first time I’ve ever done it. Yep, I missed Photo Friday, and since it’s been a slim week for posts, I figure I’ll slip this one in today.… Read the rest
It’s spring for sure in the Washington D.C. area, where my friends took this picture of their son Paul heading out for a bike ride with Tip, their Papillon:
I’d love to see how you and your pup spent your time together this week — please post your photos on Dog Jaunt’s Facebook page so we can all see them!… Read the rest
I’m lucky to live in Seattle, where there are several places to learn how to do letterpress printing. You’ve seen Chloe before at Pratt Fine Arts Center’s studio, and this week she kept me company at the School of Visual Concepts‘ studio:
This time, she snoozed away in her Pet Dome, which we’re using a lot more than I thought we would (Chloe and the cats like it as a home retreat, and Chloe’s slept in it at my husband’s workplace).… Read the rest
