We were up early this morning and down at the harbor at 7:30. It was overcast, the sunny days have left us for now. Gromit had a wonderful time running and playing and runing and playing. He just loves the water. But, like most dogs, loves to get the water off of himself too.

Day 147
Our morning romp took place just as it started to rain. That didn't stop Gromit from running and playing with his buddies. By the time we finally made it back to the car, even I was starting to get wet through my rain gear, but Gromit was soaked. We did a quick towel dry in the car, along with a number of shakes (inside of car was now really wet). It was raining so hard on our way home, we were barely moving. I think we actually received over an inch of rain in just a few hours. It was amazing. Gromit ate his breakfast, looked out the window, crawled into my chair and fell fast asleep! The quiet after the storm.

Day 144
This morning we woke up and headed straight for the beach. It was actually really nice too. Not nearly as cold as yesterday, nor as busy (yet). We had a blast...Gromit ran and chased his ball, and ran and chased some more. I finally caught Gromit before and during "the pounce"!
We headed back to the hotel, ate breakfast, packed up all our stuff, checked out and wondered up to see a few shops near the hotel, then headed back to the main town area. This time to wonder around and and look at houses and gates and doorways. It was a nice easy going weekend...for sure!

Day 143
Today is my birthday. Gromit and Tim thought it would be great to take me down to Carmel for an overnight, shopping, photos, and most importantly, the beach. We drove down late morning, totally taking our time. Checked into the hotel at noon-ish, but our bags inside and then got back in the car and drove to Carmel-by-the-Sea and wondered around the quaint little shops and checked out the cool little (but expensive houses) with the cool gates and entry ways. Here is Gromit in front of one of my favorite entryways...

Day 142
We had such a great morning, Gromit and I. The oringinal plan was to go to the harbor with Tim in the morning, but he informed me last night that he had to work. So, Gromit and I went to the harbor without him and we had a blast. We met up with a couple who have 4 greyhounds (I call them Team Greyhound) and walked with them for a while, then when we got around the point at Mavericks, Quilla and Pellar were there, so we ran an played with them for a while, or at least Gromit did, I just tried to keep up with the camera... Here is Gromit with Team Greyhound.

Day 140
Today, Gromit was so patient. We had to run an errand over the hill, so he road along with me, over and back. That took just a bit over an hour. I call my neighbor to see if she wanted to join me in taking the pups to the beach. I left a message. A few minutes later, my house phone is ringing, but I am on the cell...it was the neighbor...I went outside and waved at her. A few minutes later we were loading the kids in the car... What a beautiful day. Cold and windy, but beautiful!

Day 137
"Squishy Face II"
I just love how distorted and smooshed and squished his little face gets when he lies down on a hard surface. It was a busy day, we made it out for a good hill hike and lots of running around by Gromit. Walked into the house just seconds before it started raining - again. He was tired...this is what I saw only moments later.

Day 134
Today was one of those days that Gromit didn't even feel like getting up. When we finally did get moving, we went for a nice walk, with a little bit of running around, then back inside where it was warm. I swear neither of us wanted to do anything! I was sitting in my favorite chair, starring at the TV, mindlessly, when I thought now would be a great time to work with Gromit on a new trick. He is not thrilled about it, but just about anything for a treat!
"Hold it, hold it..."
"Hold it, hold it..."

Day 131
Today we went up to work in the office. I working in the indoor office, and Gromit in the out-door office. It was a beautiful day and he played with his buddies all day. He came home and passed out for about an hour and them...boing, back into spazzy boxer action. He was running all over the house with "puppy". Took him out side, and would not come back in the house with him...it took a while anyway. When he finally did come inside, he was bouncing all over the place with "puppy" hanging out of his mouth...

Day 130
We baked Peanut Butter Cookies today. Well, Gromit helped by watching and making sure I din't drop anything. If I did, he was there to clean it up - right away. Once we were finished with that, we hung out in the living room for a while. Gromit found his puppy teething keys, which he still loves to chew on, but then he heard something outside...

Day 128
Today we woke up when we woke up...no alarm clock, no nothin'! It was great, except that we were awake before 7:00 am. Gromit didn't even want to get up. As soon as I started to put on my socks, Gromit knew something was up....collar, leash, treats, frisbee, beach!!!! Here is Gromit in complete "contemplation"

Day 127
May 7, 2010
Wow, another interesting day. My knees and back hurt so bad right now that I can barely move. Gromit and I did make it out for a morning walk with our buddies plus a new friend from Houston, Texas. We made it to the beach in front of the beach house...the kids ran and ran and ran and ran, until they were barely able to walk back home.

Day 121
May 1st - already! This morning Tim and I took the Gromlet to the harbor. The tide was soooo low, it was great. Acres and acres of room to run. What a great way to start the day. After chasing and fetching and chasing and fetching...
Gromit was picked up by his dog-mother and hung out for the day while Tim and I attended our nieces first communion in Pleasanton. Overall a really great day for everyone!
