Photos from Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks

Photos from Sequoia and Kings Canyon Southern Sierra Nevada National Parks I do not really have a lot to say. Tanya was in town and there was nothing on TV. I asked Buddy if he wanted to go for a ride and he jumped in the car and waited for two hours, so we went for a drive. We ended up at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. It was a lot different there today than when I went to Sequoia last May. Zero snow and the rivers were way down. I suppose that is only natural and next May …

Gawking

We humans, at an early age, are [usually] taught that it is not polite to stare. Unfortunately, this was a lesson that I seemed unable to convey to Buddy. If he was a human he would probably be considered fairly rude. I think he just can not help it. My picture of the day for day 284 is of Buddy, with his eye on a cute French poodle. He went up and introduced himself, but apparently she did not care for mutts.

Happy Dog

When I take Buddy for his walks, a good portion of the time he is off his leash. 98% of the people we run into are cool with it. Friday morning we entered Columbia Park at the same time as an elderly Japanese gentleman was getting out of his car. I guess it would be safe to say, Buddy may have startled him for a moment. He immediately recovered, and spoke two words, “happy dog.” I smiled and nodded in agreement. We ended up walking the same path, with Buddy zipping in and out between us. The Japanese gentleman spoke …

Another Sunday

It sucks. It is Sunday, and no way can I ride a bike. Hopefully, I will be able to get some answers from the insurance company tomorrow. Since I can’t ride, and I can’t Wii, my physical activity is pretty much limited to walking. My picture of the day for day 276 is of Buddy and I going on our longest walk of the week. 1.75 miles.

A Photo a Day For September 2010

A Picture a Day – Project 365 September 2010 What a month September was. I should have figured that starting it off with a visit to a doctor was not a good way to start it off, but I had little choice. Enough complaining. All in all, it was a good month with a visit to my first hot air balloon festival, then off to Europe with Tanya. We had an amazing time together, visiting Ireland, Barcelona and Amsterdam.

Wrapping Up September At Home

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

I survived Europe, so now it is a matter of waiting until I can see a doctor. I have a feeling my picture of the day is going to be pretty boring for a while. My day 271 photo of the day is of my luggage when I arrived home. Time to go get Buddy. My absence did not cause Buddy to forget about his daily walks since my dad was kind enough to take over that duty while I was out of town. If anything, I think Buddy might have been a little more disciplined on the leash as …

It really hurts me to do this

, , , , , , , , , , / 3 minutes of reading /

Seriously, it is painful to sit and type at my laptop lately as I have injured myself. Unfortunately, my doctor is incompetent and my insurance company forces me to jump through hoops, so I guess I will have to toughen up for a while. It also means that most likely my photo a day project will be done in bursts rather than daily. So, here we go with a summary of the last few days. As my regular readers now, I am quite fond of Gu Gu Sushi and they created the GotBaddog.com roll for me. Since then I have …

Critter Cooler

Every Labor Day and Memorial Day weekends for the past 37 years Hermosa Beach holds their Fiesta Hermosa. It is a very large arts and crafts fair that has rides for the kids, a beer garden for the adults, and great food and music for everyone. I enjoy bringing Buddy there, because it is good training for him in that there are a ton of other people, scads of dogs and a bunch of skateboards. Buddy seems to enjoy it for all the attention he gets, and he really does seem to be in his element there. One advantage of …

Getting to know you

, , , , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

Since I do travel a lot, it was decided that Buddy and my dad should get to know each other a little better. Yesterday, we went over to my dad’s and Buddy hung out for a while, then I let my dad take Buddy for a walk. Buddy is a pretty perceptive little guy and he is a quick learner, all we have to do is get my dad comfortable with handling the leash and issuing basic commands. Luckily, Buddy already knows he is supposed to sit at corners, so this should not take long. My photo of the day …

Just Think

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

While going for a couple walks a day may have health benefits and keep Buddy happy, I think what I like the most about it is that it gets me away from the house and computer, and gives me time to do some deep thinking. Okay, maybe it is not always deep thoughts, but I do use this time to plan out what I need to prepare for in the near to immediate future. My picture of the day for day 246 was taken while on my morning walk. I was making a mental list of what I need to …
