Before we disembark on our little memory trip I thought I should quickly introduce some of the players I may mention along the way. That way I won't have to deal with the handful of "Who dat?" and "Who you talkin' 'bout?".
I'll start with the boyfriend, with whom I live with and share the duvet with if I am so inclined. You can visit him on his uber-techy tumblr blog. He means the world to me and I love him bunches.
That's him trying to read in peace while I shove a camera in his face on our last return trip from San Diego. (Update: he's gotten rid of the "goat" and is trying to rock the "stache" until March)
The other 2 entities that may show up are our snorglly dogs Taylor and Fisher. They are both rescues with special medical needs easily taken care of with the miracle of modern medicine.
Taylor is a 13-year old JRT, ranch dog that has been living with Dave before I was ever around. He has a tendency to get out right ornery when he sees strange dogs or off leashed dogs due to being not properly socialized and being just an old cranky dog. He doesn't enjoy long walks like he used to and is actually solar powered (on the few sunny days we get a year you may find him belly-up soaking up rays).
That's him about 2 years ago when he was a full time Mog Dog (Dave's old company), he's happily retired now with his biscuit pension.
The latest addition to our home is Fisher, a rescued racing greyhound. We've had him for over a year but he's 3 years old, originally from Colorado and adopted from Bay Area rescue group GSGA. He is almost the exact opposite in terms of personality from Taylor. Fisher is a lover of all things (dogs, cats, children, adults, and even you!) People always ask if he likes to run due to the assumption that greyhounds are hyper. But due to their highly specialized body chemistry they can be in top racing form without any training. In fact he spends almost as much time sleeping as an elderly dog. But because he's still young he has a lot of energy to expend but all he really needs is a 5 minute game of chase.
That's him in the foreground standing in the lake in Marin with another rescue greyhound starring at model RC boats.
These 3 dudes are the center of my life, i'll talk about other people or animals in the future when the need arises. Now that that is out of the way lets be on our way. We'll be stopping briefly at:
- Comic-Con 2007
- Halloween 2007
- San Francisco Zoo (pre-Tatiana incident)
- Christmas 2007
- Alcatraz Island 2008
Our first stop approaches...
