Well, we all know that after a day or two of chopping wood and editing novels and whatever else I happen to be doing at my mom’s house in the Bay Area, I start to miss my dog, Shiloh.

So I hop in the car and drive for five minutes, and end up at this cool dog park by the bay. That is my new buddy, Romeo, the puppy. I couldn’t help asking his owner if, when she lost sight of him, she ever found herself yelling: “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?”

I love Point Isabel for many reasons. It is near by, and it is full of dogs I can pet. And I love trying to capture the perfect pictures of dogs having fun. I like the action ones, especially in the water. I like the splashing.

I also run into old friends, like this guy. I love Bernese Mountain dogs!!!

And yes, you get to see San Francisco, over across the bay.

And the good old Golden Gate bridge.

But mostly it is just the dogs. Maybe, next time I am here on a holiday again, I will try to beat my record for ‘most dogs petted by me in a single day’ . I did a post about it, but I don’t remember the title of it. I do remember that it was more than 80 dogs. Somebody use the search bar and try typing in combinations of the words: pet, petted, dogs, record, and then tell me what that post was called, so I can repost it.

Until then, I have more pictures of dogs… hence the title, where it says: part 1…

You got the stick… good boy… who’s a good boy… you are… yes you are…
