Hounds Get Around

Happy Easter, Passover and Spring, everyone! chili in her kitchen I'm happy to announce that I am now the sole proprietor of my own dogwalking company. "Hounds Get Around" serves two packs a day, hiking the trails and dunes of Fort Funston, Bernal Heights, McLaren Park and Stern Grove. If you have a puppy in need of playtime, please contact me, as I have space for one additional furry friend. Hounds Get Around is fully bonded and insured and licensed with the city of San Francsico. My facebook community page  in still in its infancy but photos and text will be added soon. Crosby and Chili I purchased the company from my friend, Tina, so there was already a steady client list. The work itself is filled with lots of fresh air, exercise and sunshine so it's a rare day that a dog walker gets sick. Sometimes you need the patience of Mother Superior but any person who has an easy-going temperment will have an advantage in leading his pack. Dogs are psychic spong

       March is a lovely month for the Irish. The world, in blustery, early spring is introduced to bits of green escaping the thawed soil. Then on the 17th we have the deluge of Kelly green and carry-around shamrocks. Many too are green with envy for not being Irish. Malarky, we say, for everyone can be Irish (all month if you'd like). All it takes is having fun and seeing the world through magical eyes.        As a matter of principle, I haven't attended the South Boston Irish parade (for as long as I can remember) because of its homophobic past which you can reference here . The 162nd Saint Patrick's Day Parade in San Francisco, however, was a chance to experience the holiday anew. Much to my surprise, I found that Irish organizations like labor unions and Irish Step Dancing Schools are in full swing in Baghdad-by-the-Bay. Most of the Irish live "out on the avenues" in the Sunset and Richmond districts. People were friendly and nobody was hammered yet.
