Why rice balls are good for every family

Welcome the newest member to the family. Mochi is about 4 and half month old saint bernard rescue. Thank you to 'The Fairy Dogfather', Nikki, for bringing such a bundle of fur (joy).


We wanted to get Pochacco a playmate. There is some adjustment period for Pochacco but Mochi can definitely hold her own.

(Mochi says, "Talk to the paws!)

(really...she's not a stuffed animal)

Why We Love Our Pets

Pet-a-palooza (23 May 2010)

(Yes, Pochacco is the cutest puppy but I'm not bias)

(we were sitting behind when we caught this dog...he just wanted a hug)

Playing Among The Gods

We discovered a San Diegan group specialized for owners of mastiffs or larger breed dogs called Mastiff Meetup. We had our first play date at dog beach in Ocean Beach. It was a good time and interesting for Pochacco to experience being one of the smallest dog.

(there are a few english mastiffs, couple great danes, and one saint bernard...it was a good mixed)


(large breeds are good swimmers too)


(unfortunately we forgot to bring Pochacco's favorite swimsuit so he won't go into the deep water)
