Hershey and the Large Puppy

Josie is now bigger than Hershey.  She loves to pull on her leash and try to be ahead of Hershey.  She sits at night on the Juliet balcony watching to see if anyone is walking by so she can bark.  After she alerts Hershey then they bark in duet.  At night we put them in their crates so we can get some sleep.  Josie has decided to get up at 5 am so she starts barking then.  I try to have her go back to sleep and then I sleep with a pillow over my head.  Dogs!

They love to swim in the bay.  When I take them to La Playa trail they just want to be off their leashes so they can run in and swim.  I try to take a ball which Josie will chase.  She likes to play fetch while Hershey just wants to chase.

I also take them to the dog park in Ocean Beach.  It is so large.  Sometimes there are over 20 dogs there but it does not feel crowded.  You just have to watch where you walk as some people don't pick up after their dogs.

One evening, Larry and I brought up some wine and were ready to light the fireplace on the rooftop deck.  Josie ran up there and was sick from the salt water.  Not so nice.  Clean up involved numerous trips down two flights of stairs for cleaning supplies.  On the bright side, Josie did not ruin a rug.
