She tends to seek warm areas in the house, like near vents and next to the refridgerator. I thought it would be fun to crochet her a little granny square vest using some leftover yarn. She seems to enjoy wearing it, or at least she doesn't complain! Here she is modeling her new outfit.

We adopted her from San Francisco SPCA when she was about 10 months old. She's now almost two and just as goofy as ever. The first photo captures the essence of Proton. On Halloween, a teenager asked if she was a dog in a dog costume, which sums up her look!

Here they are walking on the trail at Garland Ranch. This photo is deceiving because Proton rarely walked so nicely next to Kargo! Most of the time, she ran ahead until she couldn't see us and then waited before running ahead again.

And here they are on the beach. Proton normally avoids all water. She doesn't even like the smallest rain puddles and has to jump over them or walk around them. We figured she would avoid the ocean but surprise, surprise, she LOVES the ocean and running along the edge of the water. Also, we discovered that she's a very powerful swimmer because she literally flew into the water to chase after some geese and could swim out and back with amazing skill. Her recall on the beach is pretty abysmal but luckily, she only runs out as far as she can see us, which is 500-700 feet away, but at least she comes back. Oh well, much more recall training is needed.

We've named her Proton and she and Kargo are getting along splendidly. The SPCA pegged her as a heeler mix because of her spots and she must be a mix of some other breed that gives her the low-rider build She was about 10 months when we adopted her and she's definitely an active young dog. She's also testing the limits of what she can get away with. She has an adorable look and is super friendly with both humans and dogs.

<p>This next photo shows Kargo's new best friend, Patch the cardigan corgi. Our home in San Francisco needed a new fence adjoining one of our neighboring houses. These neighbors also own two corgis, Patch and Pepper, and they would bark in frustration if they heard Kargo in the yard and could not play with her. So, when the fence needed replacing, we added a gate so the dogs can play. I haven't gotten a photo of all three dogs together yet, but here's Patch and Kargo enjoying each other's company!

This next photo was taken along the <a href="https://visitcambriaca.com/itinerary-element/moonstone-beach-boardwalk/">Moonstone Beach Boardwalk</a> in Cambria, and here's where the amazing Kargo memory comes in. We last visited Cambria in 2015, when Kargo was just a year old. It's documented <a href="https://kargothedog.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-trip-to-cambria-ca.html">here</a>. For that visit, we stayed at one of the hotels along the road parallel to the boardwalk. The hotels are on the opposite of the road from the boardwalk so there are many turnouts on the walk where humans and dogs can leave to cross the road to their hotels. This time around, we didn't stay in Cambria but drove over from Paso Robles for a day trip. We decided to walk the boardwalk to see if Kargo would remember it at all. Sure enough, when we reached the turnout to the hotel where we once stayed, Kargo wanted to veer off and cross the road! We were amazed, because she was last there seven (seven!!) years ago. Kargo has always had a great memory for places and how to return to hotels from walking around towns we visit, but we were amazed her memory stuck for so long.

So, to end the trip, we had to visit Carmel-by-the-sea, and here's the required photo on the beach. I'mn not sure how I captured a photo without other humans or dogs, since the beach was quite crowded!

The first two photos were taken on Scenic Road overlooking the water.

These are some photos from the trip. Our first overnight stop was at the lovely <a href="https://www.allegrettovineyardresort.com/">Allegretto Vineyard Resort</a> in Paso Robles. The resort has lots of art work, including this sculpture.

Due to the pandemic, we only made one trip recently in Sept. The air quality wasn't great due to all the California fires, but it was better there than in the bay area. We always do a hike up in Garland ranch, although Kargo had to be on-leash this time because of COVID-19 restrictions. You can see all that haziness in the view.

It's perfectly fine to go on a hike because exercise is an essential activity so we took Kargo for a walk in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Alto_Baylands_Nature_Preserve">Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve</a>. I believe this was this first time we've been there with Kargo. The weather was a bit cloudy but it was dry and the smells, from Kargo's point of view, were good.

It was a little bit rainy off and on, but we still got some good beach time.

Our visits always include a day of hiking in Garland Ranch in Carmel Valley. We managed to hike in the morning when the rain stopped for a couple of hours.

<p>And of course, there's always socializing with other pups at the Cypress Inn. The two corgies are Jackie and Bobby.

<p>The late great Doris Day had just passed away shortly before our visit, so there was a small memorial of flowers in front of the Cypress Inn which she had co-owned.

We took Kargo with us to Truckee, CA, last weekend to give her some first-time snow exposure. She had a grand time hiking on the Castle Peak Trail. This next photo shows her sitting at the ridge at Castle Pass.

The second photo shows her meeting up with a Dutch shepherd named Roxy. The last photo is overlooking the casting pond.

Here's a nice photo of Kargo posed in a lady-like way next to one of her favorite squeaky toys, which is a pig that sounds like a duck. We bought the toy as a souvenir from our recent <a href="http://bindingoff.blogspot.com/2018/08/scenes-from-iceland.html">trip to Iceland</a>, but it's from a Danish doodad company called <a href="https://flyingtiger.com/">Flying Tiger</a>. We named the toy "LiLou" after the San Francisco "celebriswine" <a href="https://www.lilouthepig.com/">LiLou The Pig</a>.bettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15302679114750034953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166464126690801553.post-51707012180842235902018-05-22T22:41:00.000-07:002018-05-22T22:41:06.448-07:00Spring Carmel-by-the-Sea Visit<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSYXsfz-uIpW35jw6ey9UOJ9eEgdOaOmWWxgTdnFaoh0s_ZSRx8Gd47FunAbyNzZ6mGeVRQEFOki6khfQUgXbqNUVx6gVRzRYlmcJMlCQdAB_g0Xv4BenYpiOOEMiYHO-V7eITAzdfBeEa/s1600/deer1.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSYXsfz-uIpW35jw6ey9UOJ9eEgdOaOmWWxgTdnFaoh0s_ZSRx8Gd47FunAbyNzZ6mGeVRQEFOki6khfQUgXbqNUVx6gVRzRYlmcJMlCQdAB_g0Xv4BenYpiOOEMiYHO-V7eITAzdfBeEa/s400/deer1.jpg" width="290" height="400" data-original-width="1159" data-original-height="1600" /></a>

Last weekend, we took Kargo along for our spring weekend trip to Carmel-by-the-sea. The most exciting time for us, and for Kargo, was the deer encounter in Pacific Grove. The deer kept approaching to get closer and closer but we were too afraid to let them actually meet nose to nose. The deer followed us along for a couple of blocks before giving up after stopping traffic a bit. It turns out that deer are quite common in the city streets there.

<p>Here we are on our hike in <a href="https://www.mprpd.org/garland-ranch-regional-park">Garland Ranch</a>, overlooking one of the views. This is a great place for off-leash hiking. Unfortunately, she did pick up a tick from that hike, but we have the great <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X7072HY/ref=asc_df_B00X7072HY5484122/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B00X7072HY&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198060065450&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7319173406800778774&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031912&hvtargid=pla-353211340536">Tick Twister</a> tool for removing ticks.

<p>And of course, a trip to Carmel must include a trip or two to the beach.

<p>I thought I would share these photos of Kargo's fur coloration. She's a mix of German shepherd, Swiss white shepherd, labrador, and saint bernard, and it some ways, it looks like her fur never got mixed! The top of her back is a sleek black and the sides have a sharp delineation that looks like she's been shaved.

These are a couple of photos from New Year's Day, when we took Kargo along on a hike up to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Peak">Mission Peak</a> in the east bay. Here she is along the hiking path. The next photo shows a surreal view from the top of Mission Peak. It was super crowded, but looking over the clouds and fog makes it look other-worldly and serene.

<p>Kargo and her hoomans wish you all a happy holiday season and a happy 2018!
<p>This photo was taken at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, in front of this shrub which gets decorated every year with odd ornaments contributed by the public.

<p>I haven't posted much about Kargo the dog lately, but she's been very much alive and active, active, active. This is a photo of her walking along with two dogs belonging to a neighbor. The small one is Sencha and the taller one is Agave. Kargo is sporting her holiday neck wear.bettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15302679114750034953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166464126690801553.post-22352626366182161282017-09-26T22:24:00.000-07:002017-09-26T22:24:34.069-07:00Carmel by-the-sea<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmGUawrQdslLaaa3ckSL5a_1eI2EHWcReyu2TV4J9iBKDW68y5cuL5pi0gXi7FA8YtjNyie4NolWPc2mtLB7zZxfuewKBYS_lzVxnD011c6X9bHn9yauZAmEiv39cXhYDYu3r3CviEC0-z/s1600/carmelsep2017.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmGUawrQdslLaaa3ckSL5a_1eI2EHWcReyu2TV4J9iBKDW68y5cuL5pi0gXi7FA8YtjNyie4NolWPc2mtLB7zZxfuewKBYS_lzVxnD011c6X9bHn9yauZAmEiv39cXhYDYu3r3CviEC0-z/s400/carmelsep2017.jpg" width="324" height="400" data-original-width="1296" data-original-height="1600" /></a>

We recently took a short trip to lovely Carmel by-the-sea, and of course Kargo came along because Carmel is super dog friendly. The first photo shows her on our walk along Scenic Rd. overlooking the blue Pacific ocean. This next photo shows her posing on the beach.

While strolling through the town, I spotted this lovely macaw that just spends its time perched outside its owner's shop watching the world go by, eating, and uttering the occasional loud squawk.
