Princess likes me, I think. When I rubbed her today, she had that same look Judy has when I scratch her head. Bad thing is whenever she sees me now, she expects attention. Fred is the same, but his best friend is Carlo. He’ll say hi but will look for Carlo immediately after or retreats …

Patty’s Place
Tonight we went up to the hills of Oakland to Patty & Tom’s place for dinner. The food & wine were excellent, the conversation even better. Of course I had to torment Christine the cat with my camera. I forgot to photograph Willie the Corgi/Golden Retriever mix when he did his tightrope trick.
Clingy
Judy likes to be outside her cage (mostly when Sandy is nearby). The problem is she’ll get spooked by who knows what and ends up flying. Last night, she got spooked as usual, flew and landed on Sandy’s back. Not being too smart she just froze instead of climbing to higher ground. I thought the …
Christmas Potluck
We had a little get together tonight with Jim, Kelly Steve & Diane.
Pelicans
For some unknown reason a trio of Pelicans have decided to stake out a claim in our lagoon. They do have to contend with those pesky Cormorants though.
UFC Fowl
The ducks are always entertaining. This morning I fed them and as usual there were all these duck fights. This is so funny for me because while the larger ducks fight for dominance, the younger ducks don’t care and just eat all the food. In this featherweight match Harold and Denny square off. They get in a clench. Harold gets …
Canon G9
I wanted to get rid of my G7 in favor of the upgraded G9, so I got a used one on Ebay. A week later Canon announced the G10, Doh! Here’s one of my 1st shots with the G9 with our always grouchy model Judy (I don’t pay her OT).
Shangri-la
Today we met with the party coordinator at the Shangri-la for some last minute details on Mommy & Daddy’s 50th Wedding Anniversary. Now this is one beautiful hotel. Auntie Presy & Auntie Puring arrived today from San Diego and we met them at the Makati Sports Club for lunch. While waiting, Alex got a good …
Sky
Okay, after 2 days of giving Sky (Pinky & Tante’s Rottweiller) pig ear treats she still wants to kill me. So I’ve given up trying to get on her good side. We’ve been told that when Sky is taken for a walk, it takes 2 to control her. When she realizes that they are headed …
Dog Day Afternoon
We spent this afternoon with the dogs… Princess & Freddie that is. Hard working dirty dogs need a good washing. Princess is self reliant while Fred is a bit more hands on. Later we went to Iceberg’s for a light, light snack and desert. This was followed by a dinner at the Rallos house, which …
