In 2020, I lost my dear boy Sputnik at 17 years of age. A few months later, Orbit, a Jack Russell Terrier, joined our pack. Gremlin is a Miniature Pinscher. Griswold is a Rat Terrier. Dilly is probably an Italian Greyhound or Basenji mixed with Terrier. Those hyperlinked names will take you to more photos of each dog and their stories. In 2025, I lost 19-year-old Gremlin to health issues. A few months later, I got another dog, Pivot. Photos of the new pack can be found here here.
We live in Ventura, California where these lucky dogs get to run off-leash every day at the beaches, parks, trails, and school yards. They accompany me on all my roadtrips all over the country when I take photos for the main part of this website, RoadsideArchitecture.com. I take five-week trips every summer and these guys get to explore all kinds of places off-leash. |
