72/365: Dog and Sphinx Are Friends

Today on the blog, Oscar the Smooth Fox Terrier is guest posting. He's got a thing or two to day about this part time gig in San Jose. It may be The Capitol of Silicon Valley, but Oscar hasn't yet been shown that it's a good place for dogs.

This is one of the highlights, the garden of the Rosecrucian Egyptian Museum. The terriers are careful not to wee here as it might bring on a Mummy's Curse. But they do like the sphinxes as sister, Lucy, demonstrates.

Oscar's report here:

51/365: Rosicrucian Museum

I'm still in the 365 program. And I have been taking pictures. Just not uploading them. Why? Because we've had a paradigm shift around here. After 25 years of Andy commuting up to three hours a day back and forth to work, we've gotten a San Jose crash pad for him and the terriers and I are now the road warriors. It's been disconcerting -- and I'm always in one place and my card reader, laptop and chargers are in another -- but it promises to be an adventure. This, by the way, is the Rosicrucian Museum -- modeled on the Temple at Karnak. It houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts in the Western U.S. -- thanks to a shadowy group that is sort of like Masons with a love of Ancient Egypt. The dogs and I pass it on our walks -- we're still looking for a real dog park -- but we don't want to risk a mummy's curse by pooing on these lawns.

37/365: Angry Hippo

We'll admit it: we are more than a little obsessed with San Jose's Rosicrucian Museum. Especially since we pass it on our 1 mile dog walk route. I'm not sure if dogs are actually allowed in the sculpture gardens that surround the museum. This hippo didn't seem pleased with the idea. He was even less pleased when Oscar wee'd on him.
