When you first get a pet dog, your life will go through some big changes.
With everything you do, you have to figure out what you’re going to do with the dog. Leave her at home? Take her to a sitter? Bring her with? Is she even allowed at this event?
Ada at home.
And then you also end up thinking about what your dog needs. Does she need to eat? Does she need to pee? Does she need some exercise, socialization, education?

No doubt, it’s a big life change. (My mom jokes that “it’s good training” because I guess this is a lot like parenthood, but about 10 times easier.) We go to parks and beaches every weekend. We rarely eat in restaurants. And on the rare evening that we do “go out”, we only stay out for a few hours.

We also eat lunch outside almost everyday (which in my opinion is hardly an inconvenience).

All in all, I think Ada has just encouraged us to live a more active outdoorsy life. And I think we’re better and happier because of it.

The other night we were all lounging on the couch, probably watching TV or playing a game. When I noticed Ada in this pose, I quickly snapped a crappy photo on my iphone before cracking up (and causing her to rearrange).
Ada imitates the Venus of Urbino.
Our pup has no idea how renaissance-sexy she is.

On a recent trip to the beach, I spotted some horses in the distance. Ada didn’t see them but when she caught the scent on their foot prints she went nuts!

Today, while out on a lovely spring walk, Ada looked up at me with this face:
Looks like someone's been sniffing (chomping?) the cherry blossoms.

Or puppy cat?
No matter what you call her, Ada is a dog that occasionally acts like a cat.
- One of her favorite toys is little ball with a bell in it.
- She loves to steal cat food at my parent’s house.
- Her favorite sleeping spot on the couch is up on the back.
Luckily she's little enough to fit.

Just testing that Buzz picks up posts from me and not Tessa. Here’s a happy dog picture for you.
Happy Dog

Look at the like a giant furry slug that crawled into my office this evening!

I hope it doesn’t eat up my violets.

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!
