Wanna make someone happy? Take your dog or the neighbors dog for a walk. They will love you for it! Baxter was overjoyed this morning when he realized he was getting to go on today’s walk.

Monday July 6, 2020 Baxter and I had a quiet morning on the headland following the Independence Day weekend. There was a great low tide exposing Trinidad State Beach and the fish are running so the boat launch parking lot was full. It looks like the upwelling caused by last week’s wind has brought the …
Thursday June 4, 2020 Baxter and I walked our usual route as the fog sifted in and out. Our timing today was less than desirable; lots and lots of dogs out. It’s June and people and their fur babies are definitely getting out more. What that means for me is that my trusty sidekick’s behavior …

Tuesday May 5, 2020 In addition to the work out benefits I seek solitude when I take my walks. I enjoy quiet mornings. But, a wonderful side benefit to daily walking is the people you meet and observe along the way. The people who become the familiar faces you look forward to seeing on the …
Monday May 4, 2020 Happy Monday! We have made it thru another week and are on to the next. It was a beautiful morning and if the meteorologist is correct we will have a gorgeous week ahead of us! This morning was a reminder that things are not always what they seem. Baxter and I …
Friday, May 1, 2020 Jack Russell Terriers absolutely love, and I mean LOVE their people. They would defend you to the death. They are fearless and loyal. On a leash, they take their job very seriously. The leash is their cue for guard duty. Baxter is no exception. I have no doubt that need be, …
