Our dogs. On the left side, our exotic-looking spunky terrier-chihuahua mix when he was a youngster. He’s an old guy now. On the right side, our previous dog, a mini-schnauzer. Most stubborn dog we’ve ever had but a fierce guard dog! Both dogs were re-homed to us. #dogs

This remains one of my favorite photos of cherry blossoms in the Japanese Tea Garden at Descanso Gardens. #flowers #gardens
