Farewell.

After a 4 month battle against cancer we made that hard yet logical decision to end the fight.  Tommy didn't visit Google often, but he always enjoyed the attention, laying in the grass, and walking the trails nearby.

Thanks to everyone that put up with my last minute cancellations for vet visits and the extra time I spent tending to his needs in his final months.

My vet didn't realize that Perf was due last night and said Tommy should go home.  Just finished at 8:00am after staying up much of the night to get it done.

Going to sleep for a while and am glad I don't need to wear a massive flowery collar around...

Roo Roo and Tommy (the dog) on yet another trip out. This morning was brunch at the Universal Cafe with a side trip to Blue Bottle coffee.

A good meal was had by all.

Early Sunday, before it got too hot, Julie Lindner  and I took our dog Tommy for a walk in the Oakland Hills.  With some care (and a bit of luck!) you can get some nice shots with the Glass camera.

Roo update day 2.

Everything is in order, she's eating her food, and getting along with Tommy.

Went on a nice long walk this morning. I was worried that those little legs couldn't make it up the hilly terrain, but she did fine.

Tommy at Android HQ. There was even a little left over snow.

Tommy is in MTV-1900-204 today (sans hat). Stop by for a visit!

Tommy bath at Pawrero. Little known fact: the movie Fowl Play filmed a scene here.

Tommy lounging at the Butler & the Chef with Joel (the chef and 3rd favorite person). We used to have breakfast here every day when we lived in the neighborhood. It's nice to see South Park improving. The B&C plans to upgrade next door and http://www.public bikes.com has opened a showroom.

That's me and Tommy in an ad for the Hook and Go smart cart in Dwell magazine.

If you're lucky you might spot a peregrine falcon in South Park.  Sadly the camera-phone doesn't have a zoom so this stock photo will have to suffice.

After getting out of our car to walk Tommy someone was pointing behind us.  There he was, sitting in a nest, with a stream of feathers from his early morning breakfast littered below.  About 10 yards away a dead rat sat in the street -- desert?

We had our dog Tommy photographed by Amanda Jones.  She's terrific and I'm very happy with the few glimpses I got of the images as they came off the digital camera.  Here's a photo of the happy puppy shot by former Six Aparter Matt Peterson:

Turns out Amanda is publishing a new book and wants to use one of the photos.  It's coming out in March.  How cool is that?
