Jacpot Keeps His Focus

Jacpot has been staying close to home the past couple of weeks but he continues to work on his frisbee skills.



But Chris needs to work on his camera skills...

Jacpot Watches Oprah

Below is a great video Jacpot's buddy Teresa told us about. Jacpot gave permission to post it even though he isn't in it.

Jacpot - The Younger Years

Thought I would add a couple of pictures of Jacpot PB (Pre-Blog)

Jacpot goes to the Lacaster Dog Park

We went to the Lancaster Dog Park for the first time to see what it was like. Of course Jacpot had a great time meeting some new friends.

Trying to see who can smile bigger for the camera.

Jacpot Returns To Pasadena

We had another great day as Jacpot, Cindy, and I returned for another adventure in Pasadena. We started the day at Galcos, buying a wide variety of sodas that you don't find in a regular store. Afterwards we were off to the dog park a few miles away...

Jacpot wonders if this is the movie star from the Disney Movie.

Sometimes Jacpot thinks this place is for the dogs so he hangs out with a human friend he just met for a while.

Jacpot's thinking these guys take a lot of vitamins.

After a good time at the park Jacpot needs to take a coffee break.

Jacpot likes to watch the fountain.

We had a nice time shopping at Outdoor Adventure.

Especially since they allow dogs inside.

On the way home Chris was determined to open up one of the soda pops we bought at Galcos even though we didn't have a bottle cap opener. After about 30 attempts, and some bloody knuckles......

SUCCESS!!!!!!

Jacpot goes to the Poppy Reserve

Jacpot, Cindy, and myself had a nice visit to the Poppy Reserve today.

RUN AGAINST VIOLENCE 5K/1K

Jacpot and I ran in the Run Against Violence 5k. The first mile Jacpot was a little too excited and was determined to catch up with the lead runners. Therefore we played tug and pull for quite a while and it wasn't easy to keep him under control. Eventually he caught on that we were just out for a cruise and he mellowed a little. I am pleased to report Jacpot was unofficially the first place dog (I don't think they keep track) but his fellow runner was way back for the human race.

Jacpot Goes To Pasadena

After seeing a couple of episodes on Huell Howser about Galco's Store, Cindy, Jacpot and I decided to take a trip to Pasadena. What makes Galco's so special is all the unique variety of Soda Pop. An example of some of the drinks are "Black Lemonade" (yes it was black) and Leninade. There's Bulldog Root Beer and X Root Beer Riot; A root beer with caffeine, herbs and guarana for extra energy, just to name a few. The only problem was the line was probably 20 people long, so we just looked around and didn't buy anything... looks like we will have to go a little earlier in the morning next time.

Cindy looked up a couple of dog parks (we went to both) and we had a great lunch and sight seeing in Old Pasadena.

You can bet we'll be back for more play at the park and soda pop from Galco's.
