Karl brings a wealth of experience as a tech guru in the public and private sectors and we are absolutely delighted to have him in the kennel.  Not only is he a Mac expert and a networking master, he brings an extensive background in database design & development.  This guy’s toy (er, tool) box runneth over.  We know you’re going to enjoy working with him as much as we do.

June 20th is take your dog to work day. Here at beachdog.com every day is Take Your Dog to Work Day (TYDTWD)!

TYDTWD was created to promote the joys of pet ownership to the non-pet owner. When bringing your dog to work those who live a pet-less life can see the fulfilling relationship you experience with your furry friend. TYDTWD also promotes shelters. There are plenty of furrballs waiting for forever friends at our local shelter.  A rescued dog will be the most loyal companion you could ever have!

We have proof here in the office. 14-year old Karadog is the original beachdog.  This smart-as-the-dickens lab/malamute/who-jumped-over-the-fence dog was rescued from a shelter in Eureka, California.  Perdi is our resident 130-lb pup, a purebred Great Dane advertised for sale at our local shelter when her owners couldn’t keep her.

Graeme and Sabrina were spotted doing a little souvenir shopping in Scotland. If you are lucky they may bring you back some canned haggis or a Rodger Whitaker CD from Thistle Do Nicely. Or, if you’re really lucky, a bottle from The Wee Whiskey Shop. Next on the agenda: pony rides on the Shetland Isles.

If you squint your eyes you can see Sabrina & Graeme under the far right leg of the Eiffel Tower.

Sabrina, our GEEK DOG, is on a month-long journey through France, Scotland and England. After a long, hard, wet, cold, winter on the Peninsula, Sabrina and her husband, Graeme, needed a drizzly, damp get-away.

The first leg of their journey began in Paris. They chose a pup tent and VW bus for their romantic getaway. With motorcycle helmets in tow, the journey began on 3-31-08. We, who are left behind, to endure the spring-like weather, tulips, daffodils and whale watching, will just have to deal with her absence.
