almost caught up . . . not!

well, not really caught up but the laundry is done and i am packing my suitcase for my flight back east tomorrow. (still hoping someone will "pick up" my trip so i can stay home this 4th of July weekend). the sky is blue, kind of. the June Gloom is still hanging out over the ocean to the west. i think i mentioned seeing some cute dogs on sunday. these three were music lovers. we were also listening to Michael Sullivan in Manhattan Beach. there are also a couple of beach photos i took while rollerskating up to Manhattan Beach. and a few from the Riviera Village Summer Festival in downtown Redondo Beach on sunday.

a Jackchi or is it a Jackhuahua?

not sure what this cute bundle of fur is. i remember taking a photo of two of these dogs in Japan in the last few years.

still trying to find out what this one was. the owner said that this dog had recently won Best in Show at a Dog Show in Long Beach.

Jenny, one of Michael's dearest fans

a real "dog walker" or shall i say "dog carrier". they listened to the music for awhile but then i think the puppy got a little sleepy listening to the soothing sounds of Michael.

coincidently i took this photo this morning on the way to the market

these Softbank commercials have been popular for a year or two now in Japan. i watched several of them today and will add another tomorrow before leaving for the airport. yes, the dog is the Father. no, i did not go to the gym today.
