Cinnamon

Cinnamon Chocolate Fisher was rescued from the San Fernando Valley animal shelter in 1994 by Benjamin Fisher and his family. According to the pound worker, she was 2 or 3 years old at the time and she had been at the shelter for 3 weeks. The worker kept saying, “We only keep them 3 weeks.” She was scheduled to be euthanized that day. Ben urged his parents to take her and Cinnamon is now 17 or 18, grappling with Doggy Alzheimer’s, but still rambunctious and energetic.

Say Hello to Dori

Dori is an American Staffordshire Terrier.

Not a new breed at all. One of the early and very famous AKC registered Staffs was Pete the Pup, (real name Lucenay's Peter), dog star of the original Our Gang (The Little Rascal's) comedies of the 1930's.

Laugh Away!

Probably laughing at me.

Look Out!

Here they come … I got dusted and nearly knock over
as these four black blurry streaks thundered by me. I did
cover my lens before being sprayed by flying trail bark.

… And Still Counting

This Lab is 14 years old and still visiting the park. What a
wonderful thing!

Canine Klepto

At one point he actually had four toys in his mouth. I
guess I just wasn't quick enough with my camera.
