A new park! This park overlooks the western part of the city to the left, including the pacific shoreline, and the rest of San Francisco to the right, with the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance. Our dad grew up going to this park and even his breath was taken away by the view- or, maybe it was those gusty winds! Bol!
PS: This panorama was taken with dad’s new cell phone. Neat huh? No photoshop, we promise!
And Off Leash!
We had Joules for about one month when we took her up to Lake Tahoe for our annual ski trip. She apparently loved running in the snow because it didn’t bother her one bit when her short mini schnauzer legs kept sinking all the way up to her body! When she caught sight of the the poodle playing with it’s owner and got excited, we thought, why not? Where could she possible run off to? So, my heart clenched, I unclipped her leash from her harness and she took off to play with the poodle.
The rest is history 🙂
Sorry for the lack of focus here. This was my sister’s first time with an SLR. Despite the lack of focus, you can still see the tension between Joules and I in our first month together! I am clearly as uneasy being a doggie pawrent as Joules is adjusting to life with us. It still cracks me up when I look back at these.
We drove 5 hours to adopt Joules (pretty much could have gone to LA!) from the Central Valley Rescue Railroad. On the way back, after taking her out for a bathroom break, scaredy Joules would NOT get back into her too-small borrowed crate (she was already showing her stubborn streak!), so we let her hang out in the back seat. Her attempt to get close to the Mister’s taco was her first time she acted like a normal, non-freaked out dog.
Her short short hair was due to being shaved after living on the streets for more than 6 months (our best guess). As you can see, Joules looked like she gave at least 2 litters. According to the vet we took her to, she looks like she only gave one litter, and was most likely lived in a someone’s home, not a puppy mill cage, based on her comfort with being touched and groomed.
The last photo was her “mug shot”: her first photo upon being rescued from the city shelter by CVRR. When the Mister first showed me her photo, I said “THAT is a schnauzer?” Obviously, I am forever grateful of his judgement in picking out our first dog. ❤
Bored with the view from atop her throne, Princess Joules takes a nap.
For the record: we only have a view of the ocean if you stand at the leftest edge of the window and peer out between houses.

Everytime! Argh!
We just love the weekend! We get to go to the beach to chase birds and make new furiends.
In the huge box dad’s vacuum just came in. Woohoo!
