Riding my bike everyday is such a great way to see wildlife! Today’s sightings were an osprey fishing the Sacramento River, and a family of grey foxes watching me from behind a schoolyard fence

Gunther is still trying to decide if it’s safe to go out the door. Fireworks were brutal for him last night so we’re staying in bed, having coffee and napping this lovely Sunday morning.

I guess today’s the day. My darling Tsunami can’t stand up this morning. Vet is on her way. He got in one last good swim in a lifejacket this weekend. 15 years isn’t long enough.

I’m sitting here with my best friend of 14 1/2 years, contemplating the hardest decision a pet owner has to make. His degenerative spinal problem has made his back legs about useless and he can’t enjoy the things he loves anymore he seems at peace- me, not so much. #goldenretrievers
