Tavo goes to Africa (actually The new Steinhart Aquarium)

We went to the new Steinhart Aquarium and Science Academy in San Francisco, along with most of the rest of California. It was really crowded. We explored the living roof.↑

Curtis got to carry Tavo. Curtis has the advantage of not having any hair to pull.↑

Somehow Lucy, Curtis and Tavo got transported to the safari in Africa.↑

This picture does not come close to how beautiful and colorful all the fish were.↑

This was the biggest fish there. ↓

I bet you didn't know there were monkeys there!
He likes to eat hair as well as pull it. Let's see if I pull right will Mom go right? ↓

Gustavo got passed around to just about everybody.

An Afternoon at the Park

Today was mostly spent "hanging out" at home but later some people went to the park.

It was not always a happy time. ↓

Of course they both like the same piece of foam. ↓

All five dogs got to go on the walk. ↓

Tavo got to try the swing for the first time. ↓

... and the slide... ↓

... and the horse (not real) ↓

Sunol

We went for an afternoon walk in Sunol. The weather was perfect and it was pretty.

This was Tavo's first hike. Dennis, do you recognize the walking stick?

The dogs were in heaven.

Gustavo had no problems carrying Trisha.

Visit

The visit continues...

Now they can sit up without assistance.

Tavo's first apple.

Christmas 2008

It's been a terrific, prolonged Christmas celebration with multiple gatherings. I'll spare the details and share the photos, as we all know one picture is worth a thousand words.

Darcy Performs

Darcy (and Lucy) did their agility tricks at Curtis' work. Curtis' coworkers children really liked the Santa dog. Word is out that some parents are now getting lots of heat for a dog for Christmas.

Briana and Isaac came along for the post event lunch. OK, Isaac just got the same boring milk and Briana got her favorite Chipotle food.
