Our foster Kobe has been with us 10 days now and we are getting to know him better each day. Kobe is a big homebody and is a bit agoraphobic, he does not enjoy going on walks and is the first dog we have encountered who doesn’t like roaching on the lawn. We are working with …

Fosters Sydney & Bella -Adopted!
At the start of the year, we fostered 5-year-old bonded golden sisters Sydney & Bella for a few days, while they waited to catch a ride up to Homeward Bound. Sydney wasn’t able to run and play with her sister because she was in such pain, due to bilateral torn anterior cruciate ligaments(knees), in both legs. …
Foster Kobe-Day 1
Meet Kobe! Kobe is a 6-year-old boy who came all the way from Taiwan to find the perfect home. He is a loving and affectionate boy (the term velcro has been mentioned on more than one occasion) with a moderate energy level. He gets along good with other dogs, but doesn’t like to share his food …
Kona: Big Goofy Dog Grin
This week I was doing some photo management while migrating my library from Lightroom 3 to 4 and came across a series of photos of Kona that really tugged at my heart. It was just another day in which Kona and I had a great time hanging out. In truth that was pretty much every …
Lavender Lily
This is Lily, the sister of puppy Maddie in my previous post. The girls are friend’s who hang out at our place occasionally and love to chill in the yard, where there is plenty of action for them to observe. Lily set up her post in front of the lavender, which made a nice background …
Foster Larry-Update
Back home from some traveling and I found this photo of Larry on a roll of film (Kodak Gold400/Nikkormat FTN camera). Larry is now in a foster home in Northern California and is still looking for his forever home. It is hard to believe such an awesome boy has not fond his home yet, but …
Fosters Sydney & Bella-Day 2
Sydney & Bella had an awesome day today. After salmon for breakfast, Bella got a walk while Sydney played at home. (She is waiting for surgery for an ACL injury, so is on restricted exercise.Sydney will get her surgery as soon as she arrives at Homeward Bound this week.) Bella was very lovely to a little …
Goodbyes & Hellos
Early this morning, was a sad time as Larry left us, on his trip up to Homeward Bound and to his forever family. He is an awesome dog and we wish him much love on his new journey. Immediately after Larry left, two Golden sisters showed up on our doorsteps looking for a place to …
Foster : Larry-Day 12
More fun with Larry… He’s just fooling here, Larry gets up bright and early, ready to go for a walk…but the bed is so comfy…. Care to kick the old soccer ball around a bit before work? Chillin’ after an evening walk… And this one is just because…
Foster : Larry-Day 10
Larry got a bonus outing today so he spent the afternoon and early evening napping…. I present…lazy Larry… …and busted on the bed…. “What?” If you have room in your heart and home to take in this great-natured guy, please contact Homeward Bound.
Foster : Larry-Day 9
Larry did well on an easy hike through Griffith Park this weekend. He was very interested in the horses we passed, sniffing their scent as they trotted by. After his hike, he relaxed while we did some gardening. Larry was watching people walk by. Although he will bark to alert you to people in front …
Foster : Larry-Day 7
Larry is still chillin’ with us until he finds his forever home, which we’re sure will happen very soon. This handsome lad is looking better everyday, as we have him on a diet (salmon, fruit, veggies) and an exercise schedule to get him into tip-top shape (he is on the chubby side:). His fur is …
Foster : Larry-Day 5
Five days with Larry, and he has settled in nicely. He is now coming to work with me, where he loves to get pets from clients and then he snoozes while we work. After work, Larry enjoys some fun and games, his favorite is chasing things….balls, stuffies and frisbees. He is very good at catching …
Foster : Larry-Day 2
Larry has settled in nicely and we are getting to know this great guy. He is a moderate energy dog, happy to sleep at your feet while you work after a good morning walk and play. Larry is a bit overweight right now and he might feel a little more frisky once he gets to …
Foster : Larry
Meet Larry, a flat coat retriever. Sprung from jail, Larry is now livin’ large and taking advantage of not being cooped up in a cell. As you can see he is pretty happy about his new freedom. First thing on his agenda: get clean. A guy gets mighty smelly in jail, so after a bath, …
One From The Past
While organizing my photo library I came across this one, from a year ago, in the archives. We had a 5 hour hike in the mountains that day. Kona probably put on twice as much milage as we did with his extra exploring as we hiked. As soon as we got home, he had dinner and …
