We love Fort Funston so much that we drive out there almost every weekend. Not only is it photogenic and peaceful, it’s also very dog-friendly (off leash!), so Ada completely wears herself out!
Ada relaxes while Dan takes photos.

Last Sunday we took Ada to a meetup of the SF Havanese.
There were about 25 dogs in attendance...
....including Ada's littermate Teddy.
As puppies Ada (left) and Teddy (right) looked nearly identical...
...and as you can see...
...not much has changed except hair-dos.
Teddy has amazingly soft and fluffy hair, which has inspired me to try growing Ada's out a little longer.

I’ve been eating vegan for the last few months so instead of occasional cheese and chicken treats, Ada has been getting to taste lots of different veggies.
Tasting pumpkin puree.
I think more of it ended up in her beard than in her tummy.
Turns out she didn’t care much for the pumpkin after this tasting. But she does consistently love little bits of carrot.

Ada's a bit picky and didn't find anything she liked. Click through for the larger version.

We are, and so is Ada. Just not posting as much because there are fewer new things to post about.
Ada’s still chewing on things.

Tessa’s still carrying her around…
Lazy
… and making her do silly things.
:-/
We take her to the beach every Sunday…
Bedraggled
…where she hangs out with other fluffy dogs.
Dogs or Teddy Bears?

I think Dan described this best (here):
“Tessa thought her last year’s costume was so successful, she made one for all three of us this year.”
But Ada seemed to like my costume much more than her own.

Ada has been hiking with us before. And while she has got pretty messy in the past–rolling around in leaves and what-not–I don’t think either of us fully anticipated her reaction to walking in the forests of Northern Washington.
It was quite damp in the forest and raining intermittently. This meant that Ada quickly became rather bedraggled. For some reason, unbeknownst to us, she would stop every 100m or so and either lie down or roll her face in the floor. This in turn caused her hair to become full of sticks and leaves, which would make her roll around more as she tried to get them off her. Not the smartest of pups, it would seem.

1. Lie down or roll.
2. Pick out the big bits.
3. Keep on picking.
4. Try again.
Needless to say, we cut the walk short. But by the end of it we managed to keep her walking straight by giving her with treats every 30-seconds or so.

Ada loves the beach. So when we started planning a get together with friends at a beach house near Sequim, Washington, there was no question that Ada would join us.
Torn by her dislike of water and her love of stinky things.
Aaaaaaaaaddddddaaaaaaa!
Zoom in for a closer look at that nonchalant expression:
"You called?"
