Cool Dogs

December 13th, 2015

Today the temps hit the high 60s, perfect for a good stroll.  It took us 4 1/2 hours to walk our usual route (we can do it in an hour and a half on a weekday) because there were so many big, little, unusual and cool dogs and fun people.  I started counting benches and got up to EIGHT and got distracted by great people, most with a nice dog, so I gave up.  For today, anyway.  This is Zuma trying to "get small" so as not to intimidate the teeniest dog on the Boardwalk.  



A very friendly Standard Poodle 



A cool guy who performs magic tricks and card tricks.


Two traveling dudes and a dog:  Lefty and Armin and Twitch.
They gave me lots of tips about places to see.  They also have vans and drive all over the country.  30-something hippies, nice guys.


A lovely Basenji named Cairo.



Zuma and her entourage.  Initially, they all snarled at her so she laid down and pretended to be small and they were like, "Oh, she's not that big" and we had a nice long get-together with Zuma playing "Mother".  She was thrilled to have them all running around her and they felt pretty cool about the whole thing.
A Win Win situation.  Dozens of people lined up to take photos and comment on how kind Zuma is, she is true to her breed, she's a Gentle Giant.
