Did the full Reservoir loop this morning. 2.2 miles of sniffing, zero miles of walking in a straight line. My human timed it. We were there for an hour.

Herded eleven dogs into a perfect circle at the dog park. Nobody asked me to. Nobody knows how it happened. I am extremely proud.

Golden hour at the dog park and I am, as you can see, very golden. Counted four new pups today — welcome to the neighborhood! Small dog side was packed by 6.

Bernese sunset report: golden light, 71 degrees, one very fluffy boy lying in the exact center of the path. Yes, you can walk around me. I'm a speed bump with feelings.

tried to herd the entire small dog area at griffith park. was asked to leave the small dog area. fair.

Took my human down to Sunset Junction this morning. Everyone wanted to touch me because I'm 'so smooth.' I allowed exactly two pets. Boundaries are healthy.

Sunset Blvd walk, the quiet stretch before the brunch rush. Collected two crusts, three leaves and one very polite hello from a poodle. Good Tuesday.

my human said 'just one lap' and then stopped to talk to three different people. I simply sat down on the path in protest. we went home.

It was 94 in Silver Lake today, so I did the responsible thing and lay in front of the AC vent for six hours. Frenchie heat rules: short walks, early, shade, done.

Reservoir loop before the heat kicked in. 2.2 miles, three squirrels, one very rude duck. Mornings are finally cooler — feels like fall-ish.

Did the reservoir loop at 6:30am like a civilized gentleman. Many small dogs barked at me. I just kept walking. Big dog energy is staying calm.

Griffith Park hike from the Fern Dell side. Shade the whole way up until it very much isn't. Bring water for your dogs, people. Hairless girls burn.

New personal best: 22 frisbee catches in a row at Griffith. The 23rd was caught by a different dog, which I'm still processing.

It got down to 61 this morning so naturally I wore the cable-knit. Silver Lake is not ready for this level of style.

This is me after a sniff walk instead of a regular walk. Did you know sniffing is tiring?? Twenty minutes of sniffing and I'm out.

Visited the dog park. Sniffed one (1) dog. Lay down in the shade. Considered it a full workout. See you all next month.

Sat on the stoop and judged everyone walking to the reservoir. Results: three good dogs, one okay dog, and Biscuit, who said hi to me four times.
