Raining Eskies on Our Date

On Saturday, Casper D Dog took me on a date for coffee, lunch, and shopping at the Stanford Shopping Mall. Our Moms acted as chaperones. While we were there, we ran into a whole slew of Eskies -- 6 of them! It was raining eskies on our date!!! Of course, I wasn't going to let any of them steal Casper away from me so I barked at them to keep away, plus Casper's health issues warrant keeping strange doggies at bay, so I did my job and guarded him.

Here is a pic of me on the lookout for other doggies! Casper is being his joyful self, posing for the camera.


We lunched at the California Pizza Kitchen. Casper's Mom hand fed us some bread but we also ate hand fed kibble for lunch and doggie peanut butter pumpkin cookies my Mom made. More about the cookies in future post.





Casper is a regular customer at the shopping mall. This particular mall lets doggies INSIDE the stores! Here we are at Bloomingdale's SHOE department.


While we were out and about, we ran into this threesome! And after barking a bit at them, we realized we knew them! Winston, Jasmine, and Juneau are from the Yahoo PeskiPix group!

Of course we had to commemorate the occasion with a group photo!

Our date winded down and Casper hopped into his eskiemobile. Naturally I wanted to follow and did just that!

What a fun date! My mom can not remember that dogs were allowed in stores there. A long time ago, when mom was very young, she managed a little shop at Stanford! That was a looooong time ago. My mom was born at Stanford Hospital too!
Uh, I guess I should expect mom will be making Bear the some of those cookies when you share the recipe....do you think cats would like them too?

Too cool! We see Eskies once in a while here, but we hardly ever ran into them when we had Katie (our toy eskie) We think that Mall looks like fun!

Awesome pictures!! By the way...what mall is it so we can visit the next time we come out there ??

Also - you may already know, but just in case you don't or some of yoru readers don't - Carmel, California is an extraordinarily dog friendly town!! It's a gorgeous, quaint town and one in which dogs are pretty much allowed in every store (very few exceptions) Additionally, they have one of VERY FEW beaches where not only are you allowed to bring your dog, but there are no restrictions with respect to the hours AND the do NOT have to be on a leash (a lot of beaches allow pets only late in the day and are required to be leashed at all times. It is truly a beautiful place (right next to Pebble Beach) and most places have water bowls for your dog(s)!
