Theme: Pets Doing Homework
“This is our dog, Charlie. We trained him to do our grocery shopping. Twice a week he also works as an Uber driver.”
– Yves Didier, Airport Police
Noelle’s comment: We will rate this dog-trip with a full five stars, with a nice tip, of course. Thanks for submitting, Yves!
“Studying for my Dog-trin.”
– Dennis Eigel, Retired, Public Works/Sanitation and Environment
Noelle’s comment: This one goes above and beyond, Dennis! I hope you didn’t bother your dog too much – that’s some serious studying!
“My dog, Mia, is continuing her fun ‘homeschooling’ journey, studying human vocabulary using the names of her favorite plush toys: Bear, Pepper, Sushi, Wasabi and Donut. Her endearing overbite complements her smile, adding so much to her cuteness!”
– Felice Chen, Housing
Noelle’s comment: That homework is very fetching, Felice! We give her schooling high marks. Thanks for submitting!
September Holdovers
Here are a few from last month – theme: summer’s golden days –

– Jill Weiszmann, wife of the late Club Member Robert Weiszmann
Noelle’s comment: I love this touch of golden summer. Thanks, Jill!
“Taken July 1, Jalama Beach Campground, Lompoc, California. Taken by drone looking north toward Pt. Concepcion.”
– Alex Andrews, Building and Safety
Noelle’s comment: A breathtaking shot, Alex. Thanks for submitting!
