My little brother Kubrick is doing well!

My little brother, or as I have been calling him lately Franken-Kubster is doing very well. The surgery went well, then he was out of it because of the sedation. He's got some mean stitches and they should come out in a few more days.

The vet sent the mass to the lab, because it didn't look like fatty tissue. The results are in, and it was a benign tumor which resulted from an allergic reaction to a vaccine. Because he was vaccinated at a shelter before being adopted, we don't know which vaccine caused such reaction. The vet thinks that in the future, a titer test can be administered to avoid vaccinations.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful warm thoughts/prayers/vibes/virtual hugs everybody sent. Our next trip was put on hold, but now that he's healing, we're headed to Long Beach, CA at the end of July!

Solvang is a really cool, Danish-influenced town, north of my home in LA. It's in Central California in the Santa Ynez Valley region. If you find yourself there and you're hungry, stop by and check out the many bakeries for good eats and treats. We also visited Buellton, Los Olivos, Los Alamos, Santa Ynez, and Lompoc. In Buellton, check out the wineries plus Andersen's Pea Soup. In Los Olivos, check out the wineries and http://losolivosgrocery.com/. In Los Alamos, stop by http://www.losalamosca.com/losalamosdepotmall.html. In Santa Ynez, visit http://www.santaynezmuseum.org/. And in Lompoc, make sure to tour their awesome murals http://www.lompocmurals.com/.

Now get out there and explore your world!

Buellton, California EPISODE

Buellton, California is North of my hometown in Los Angeles... it's a very laid back town, near Solvang. It's a very chill place and great to recharge your batteries. I felt no need to rush anywhere and enjoyed every moment there.

My humans really liked Andersen's Restaurant and they said the food was very good. My human dad really doesn't love soup (he likes it, but doesn't love it, you know what I mean?), but he said the split pea soup was quite good.

In Buellton, you can enjoy a nice glass of wine too... there are several wineries that have popped up in the last few years. You can also visit a couple of places from the movie Sideways... here's the map in case you're interested:

Introducing my little brother Kubrick 9!

Here's a quick video of my little brother Kubrick 9 (we call him K9). He was recently adopted less than a month ago. He's definitely been a challenge for my human parents, because he's got so much energy, plus he doesn't want to follow the house rules! But he's such a lovable mutt (Dachshund, Beagle, Cocker Spaniel and who knows what else!) and we have fallen completely in love with him :)
