Mom knew better........she just knew better, but did she do anything about it? Noooooooooooooo. When we got to our favorite park, Point Isabel, of course, it was RAINING!!! How dare she make us dogs get out of the nice warm car and go out into the rain. It was our "first day of rain" since early summer!
See, it wasn't raining here at home we left. It does take us an hour to drive to our favorite park tho. Mom was watching the news last night to find out about the weather, and it did say a "chance" of showers for the valley. Nothing about the bay area which is San Francisco and Oakland area. She knew it would probably be a lot cooler today than what it was last Sunday, so she brought a jacket for herself. But, low and behold, RAIN. Not our cup of tea or anything related to dogs. We hate the rain. We won't even go out in the yard and do our "duty" if its raining. Well, I will (Zak), but I make quick work of it so I can get back inside as quickly as possible. Jenna, the royal "pain in the tush", will not even get her dainty paws wet, if its raining, she will go on the garage floor, the carpet is even better, if its too cold in the garage.
So, how dare mom make us all go for our walk in the rain! I do have to say it wasn't a pouring down rain, it was more like a hard drizzle, but it was enough for all of us to get wet. For some reason, Dannii didn't seem to care, as he just kept running around. Course every tree we came to, we ran underneath the branches and used it as an umbrella. Mom thought this was so funny. She didn't bring her umbrella, but her girl friend had one. Mom got soaked also. The hood on her jacket and the whole back of her jacket was soaked. So, she got cold real fast. Scout (the girl friend's basenji), was hanging his tail down, and he was not happy either. Jenna, kept whinning, and that was probably a good thing..........cuz we got to leave early!! Back to the nice warm, dry car!
Mom saw quite a few fender benders going to the park, and coming home. She kept saying things like people just drive too darn fast for the first day of rain! Hopefully, nobody was seriously hurt in any of those fender benders!
That's all for now. You all come back again, now hear?

10-10-10
Mom is real good at taking pictures (even if they are NOT real good) on calendar days like this. She has a picture of human son and daughter taken at the beach in Oregon on 7-7-77. Cool, huh?
Well, we was at Point Isabel on the 10th of this month, so mom had to make sure that she got some pictures.
This here is a picture of Dannii looking right at mom, and Jenna is in the act of jumping down. San Francisco is in the background.
This one is funny. That's me, Zak sitting with my back to mom. I do this all the time. We are at our favorite picnic table, and I have to sit and guard everyone. At least in my opinion. Jenna is in the middle and mom's friend's brindle basenji, Baree is right up front. She will be 12 on October 23rd.
That's all 5 of us. For once mom got the picture of all of us. Usually, Baree and Scout hang back with their mom, but for some reason they were right behind us.
This is Scout, and you can see my face, at least part of it. Mom think's this is a good picture of him, and she's going to forward it to her girl-friend.
Dannii soaking up some rays. We are at a cafe, and we are all attached to the leash, other wise Dannii would be trying to steal some body's hot dog or something.
Ok, don't freak out. It's just me, Zak. Mom bought this stupid mohawk thing and put it on me, and took a picture. She thought it was so cute. Since Halloween is on the last Sunday of the month, she's going to dress us up! Oh my Lord, have mercy on us poor dogs.
You all come back again, now hear?

No pictures this time
I just don't know about mom anymore. I think she's loosing it big time, but don't let her hear that I told you this, she would not be happy!
She is on a list for people who have basenji's and that's us (Dannii,Jenna, and me Zak), anyway she puts up a new photo of the month to their web site and then let the members know that there is a new picture up and who the dog is and who the dog belongs too. Well, she put up a new photo and got the name of the dog correct, but NOT the owner! This is the first time that she has ever done that, and to say the least, she was very embarrassed. She apologized the the list, and even wrote to the owner of the said dog, and apologized to her. Thankfully, the owner wasn't mad or anything, and did understand, and did tell mom that she has done a great job putting up the pictures. If you want to check out the web site, you can go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/basenji/
Personally, Jenna wouldn't be caught dead in something like that, but mom and a whole bunch of people on the list think it is really cute. Mom would like to dress us up, but have a hard time finding something that would fit. She did get a t-shirt for Dannii, that say's "will do tricks for treats". Since Halloween is on a Sunday this month, and in fact its the "last" Sunday of the month, she is trying to find something for Jenna and me to wear when we go to the dog park in style.
So ok then, that's about all the news we have so far. I know its not much, but hey, I'm trying here, even though mom isn't.
