Neighborhood Cat

So this cat has been running around our neighborhood for quite some time now. We have found him in the strangest of places (i.e. our lobby which has locked doors) but it is not until recently that he finally got tags. So curiosity got the best of me and I finally took a peek. Can you guess his name?

Dot?
Checkers?

It's Sergio.

Bad Rap Open House

The great thing about living in the Bay Area is being so close to a lot of wonderful dog resources. The bf and I made it out to the most recent Bad Rap open house and it really confirmed how batshit crazy our dogs were.

There were about 10+ dogs from the Berkeley Animal Shelter in the middle of training class and I completely fell in love with a dog named Brando. And that only affirmed the bf's theory that I like the crazy dogs. I would like to take this opportunity to defend myself and say, I like dogs who are "independent". Which I guess could also mean stubborn and aggravating. Anyway, Brando, compared our own dogs, is not crazy. During the class and the post class meet and greet, he was extremely calm and did not jump at anyone's faces. I told Barksdale that if she pee'd in the stairwell one more time, I was going to trade her in for Brando. So her only hope is if someone adopts him first. Here's his profile:
