Was a party in Malibu. I know, I have it tough sometimes. It was at a beach house. The neighbor's include Adam Sandler and Keanu Reeves. Alas, neither was home. But there plenty of dogs on the beach. Here is one who didn't hear about Grapehounds.

That's a very handsome dog. He (or she, I can't tell) looks almost like my brother Rusty.
Next year, I am going to ask my mom to drive me to Grapehounds and then to Malibu.

Poor dog--missing out on the Grapehounds gathering while being stuck in Malibu with a bunch of self-obsessed celebrity types who probably weren't paying any attention at all to the four-footers!

Any stories about squirrels of the rich and famous?

Sorry, I wasn't watching VH1.

How's Rusty doing? Last we heard, he was headed off to be an AdventureDog.

These are two other dogs who were on the beach. I will post a photo of the owner later in the evening.

Adventure Boy hasn't been back home since before That Night. Although he may come back in September, I think he's planning to fly. He would have to drive in order to take Rusty with him, as the dog cannot be crated. (That's what prematurely ended his racing career.) So, Rusty and Irish are living with my former spousal unit, and I get the impression that he would fight tooth and nail to keep both of them. Rusty continues to seem like the same sweet, gentle dog that I always had thought him to be, and he has shown no inclination of aggression (or even bad manners) toward Irish or any other two- or four-footers. Whatever might have happened makes no more sense to me now than it did at the time.
Annie and Lizbit are living with me. The four dogs haven't been under the same roof since. I'm inclined to think that there's a statistical probability that they would be okay together, but I will not take even a remote chance that Annie could be hurt again.
Because Irish and Annie are considerably older than Rusty and Lizbit, I recognize that the younger dogs probably will survive longer than the others. If that day comes, I do believe that Rusty and Lizbit would get along well, as he -- more than the females -- served as the puppy's surrogate mother and playmate.

Thanks for the update! That's good news.
What you describe would have made Sandy an AdventureDog, as she would soon have been living in the wilds of Virginia (just kidding, Virginia denizens! -- prolly not many wilds there, except up around the DC area...) with Sadie, a beautiful small black lab.

I'm so glad that the owner is wearing a hat. Protection from dangerous UV rays is very important in that strong California sun!

You noticed she was wearing a hat?

The avatars seem to be changing so fast I appear to have missed some relevant info.
Is the hat wearing dog owner supposed to be "somebody"? Certainly don't have a clue from only the "dorsal" perspective.
Then again I don't really recall the names of most of the women for whom that was my only vantage point. Not always a lot of readily identifiable features to rely on...

She is a dog owner in Malibu. Not anyone of note. But she is important to her dogs.

At least she didn't deck you for taking that photo. I know a few women who probably would.

Yes, I'd say she doesn't know. Nice dogs.

I agree. The greyhounds are nice, too.
