You simply must, must, must check out
these photos of Bijou, a Vizsla in our neighborhood. Makes me wish we had done the same thing when Captain was little! I love these pictures. We catch up with Dino & Bijou at the park every now and then and Captain loves romping around with little Bijou! If you have some time, I recommend searching around the Fetch Foto site- way too many adorable doggie photos that will make you "Awwww" out loud.
Here's
another link to some more fun V pics, from Mark Rogers photography. Speaking of which,
Fido Factor, the Bay area's newest dog-friendly search site & iphone app (which my husband happens to be working on) is hosting a competition for a free photography package with Mark Rogers - whoever posts the most reviews on SF & Bay area locations will win this great deal. (A little shameless self-promotion, yes, but it IS a good prize! Plus, reviews for Fido Factor go to a good cause, since they are
partnered with the
SPCA and donate every time someone adds a SF location or writes a review!) Check out the site and if you have an iphone, the
app (it's FREE!). They are building up other locations around the country (especially Boston & New York) but are hoping to expand even more over the next few months, so anyone anywhere can join and add locations & write reviews (although only SF is eligible for the photo package prize).
It's our anniversary this weekend so not sure how much doggie blogging I'll get to, but hopefully these awesome pictures will tide you over!
I couldn't help myself on Friday- it was just too sunny, too warm, too perfect to stay inside or even just make our usual park trips. Only a beach would do. Captain and I hopped in a Zipcar and spent the afternoon at one of the city's best dog spots, Crissy Field.
Looks like Captain has learned the butterfly:
We headed over the Bay Bridge today and checked out Cesar Chavez park, another great open space in the East Bay.

Afterwords, we walked around Berkeley and stopped in the pet boutique George's to look around at all the fun toys & treats
Is this a red dog convention? No, it's playtime at our park with some of Captain's favorite girls- all of whom are shades of the same beautiful coat color, so it really is something to watch them play!

Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day!
