I've always had dogs, from my first mutt "Charlie" to my latest love "Sumo". When I was about 11 years old, my mom's office had taken in a stray dog. She and her co-workers fed her, played with her, cared for her, and loved her. One day she had a litter of 8pups, and my mom brought one home for me. I've been a dog lover ever since! Now I live at the beach, and go out to explore the neighborhood everyday, meeting old friends and making new ones. I like to find new trails and hikes on our outings, especially secret paths to the beach. Whether wading in the ocean, walking in the woods, or climbing in the mountains, every day is an adventure in our Pacific paradise. And that's not just a human paradise ... It's really a dog's life here, you know!
