Rabbi, Granny, Teacher, Queer. Proud Californian still rocking my Tennessee accent in English and Hebrew.

Lots of poodle and sunset photos. Make room for laughter and wonder, if we are to survive!
I love photos and stories about poodles and rescues in whom the #PoodleForce is strong. I'm making an effort only to ❤️ pix that include ALT text.

Jack sez, "Please include those of us who don't see so well!"

I lost my own little love several years ago. People here have been very kind about my continuing to post her picture and talk about her. There have been other sweet dogs since then, but there was only one Gabi.

Remembering Gabi. I was so lucky to have as many years as I did with her — over 10 years! — but I shall miss her forever.

Check out the rescues and shelters in your area if you want a dog. Your soul mate may be out there waiting for you.

Miss Reesie is quite sure it is dinner time, despite what the stupid clock says. (The end of Daylight Saving is hard on a little dog's tummy.)

SF Bay Area dog lovers: We got Jack, our adorable goofball toy poodle from Rocket Dog Rescue in the East Bay. They've got a bunch of wonderful dogs looking for homes now.

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year.

"Look! A stinky plant!"
"Cool. Any pee-mail?"
Jack & Reesie have finally become buddies.

Comforting my little guy. He is still clingy although he ate the pumpkin for dinner very eagerly.

Jack is a toy poodle, usually a well behaved little guy.

Reesie loves the sun. She even soaks up the sunset. Once the sun is really gone, she patrols the patio one more time.

34 years ago today the Oakland Hills Firestorm destroyed 3000 homes and changed the city forever. None of us who lived here will ever forget it.

Wishing everyone a beautiful Sabbath.

The Torah reading for this week is Beresheet, back to the beginning of the Torah, back to the beginning of time.

We start over, again and again. We can use our words to build the world we want.

Choose your words carefully.

It's National Fossil Day. Make of that what you will.
