Dogless Nature
A trip to the Channel Islands National Park provided plenty of nature, but sadly no dogs. With our temporarily dogless situation, we decided to take some time and visit the islands, which are an hour off the coast of Santa Barbara.

Reunited.
I am so happy because my HM is back from her trip to Canada! I’ve been wagging my tail non stop and following her around all day. I told her all about the walks I took with my HD but I’m not sure she heard it because I had 3 tennis balls in my mouth. …
