Chihuahua – Maxy

Maxy
"Maxie gets to live with a couple of cats!"
2010-12-23

Here’s what ShayMarie Thompson says about Maxy:

"Maxy came to me after his other family realized they didn’t have enough time to spend with him. Hes now in his forever home with me and my two cats, Sophie & Sapphire. He is such a lovable, spunky addition to our family. I’m so glad to have him as a part of our life. "

"It’s great to hear that Maxy has found his forever home, and he’s got a couple of cats to boot! Thanks for sharing him with us."

"Falcons" at the Montage in Laguana Beach

Posted: 05 Jun 2011 03:07 PM PDT

Our daughter Lynn graduated with her Ph.D. at University of California, Irvine this weekend. We stayed at the Montage in nearby Laguana Beach. The grounds and views from the hotel are stunning. The hotel also hires a falconeer to keep the seagulls and pigeons away. We didn't bring our birding gear, but got some nice photos of the birds of prey with our "people" camera.

On our last day, we were thrilled to see two rehabilitated elephant seals being released.
