Iris' first track meet

After having been too late with sign ups last year, Iris finally is doing her favorite sport: track long distance running and cross country. This is her at her first meet.

Finally - our long awaited dog is born

Today our Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy was born. We have been wishing for this little one to come for over a year - and are just so happy with his arrival. We wanted a puppy from the Oakhurst breeder and Tyko really wanted a male dog as he is "already surrounded by so many women all the time" ...
Here he is, surrounded by 2 toys 'siblings'.

Here is a picture of him at 3 days. His mother is unable to feed him breast milk at the third day. Probably because he is a singleton, which means he's the only one born in his 'nest'.  

Don't touch my cake

Malibu Beach

 

Today we saw so many animals: whales, sea lions, dolphins, different birds, a giant sea star - but new for us was a surfing dog :)

Always something to see or do:
