For all of you out there that have always been wondering how some dogs are just naturally gifted in finding bones, direct your inquiries to Sushi.  She is an expert in digging up objects rejected by humanity.

This is how you do it.

2. Research.  A good nose is a welcome instrument.

3. Dig.  This is the funnest step of the process.

4. Secure your prey.  Do not let anyone get close to you from this point on.

5. Prep your find.  Includes removing sand or dust for easier processing further on.

6. Consume. And enjoy.

Jennifer and Collen created this wonderful surprise for me (and Sushi).  They figured, since Sushi is a regular at our Six Apart office now, she might as well have her own name on the cube. 

Or as Jen puts it: "She’s working like a dog at Six Apart and even has her name on the cube ;)"

My...Our coworkers are soooooo sweeeet :) 

Sushi & Sergeja

Sushi is becoming a real California beach girl.  We spent the Saturday on Stinson beach, enjoying all the fun stuff a beach has to offer: chasing dogs, searching for bird feathers, digging huge holes in sand, playing tug-war with an algae plant and boogie-boarding.  I love swimming, Sushi unfortunately not so much...yet:).  But she's a very devoted dog and she wants to be a part of everything I do.

It was worth it...

Sushi always had a distaste for water but she learned how to swim last weekend.  She's been a brave little dogie and I was surprised by her talents - she swam and maneuvered like a Thorpe.  We've been breaking the rules again, swimming in the Alpine Lake.  But it was worth it :)

This photo is one of the reasons why I love working at Six Apart.  We are even on Everything Typepad Weblog!!!

I haven't posted any photos of baby Sushi yet.  We got her in San Jose and she was the runt of her litter.  And even though she was the tinnies, she was the most friendly and good-natured pup among her brothers and sisters.  We spent about three hours at the breeder's and she would follow me everywhere, wanting to sit in my lap.  Because she was so undernourished, her whole world for the next two months was turning around food and sleep.  She would eat, then play and then sleep - over and over again.  I took about 4000 photos of her during that time, and here are a couple.
