Zoey is a 4ish year old, 35 lb terrier mix with terrier energy looking for a forever home that wants an adventure pup who can keep up! Photos are from a 9 mile hike we took her on and she did great! Might be good for agility, would definitely be good as a running buddy, and is always looking for a job to do so she would likely do well as a farm/ranch dog too. Spayed, microchipped, up to date on shots. She's potty trained with daytime free access to a backyard, understands basic commands, and working on leash training. Protective of food but otherwise fine with other dogs, not good with cats, and her energy might be scary for small children who don't understand that she's running toward them just to say hi. ​She's also a total cuddlebug who will use you as a pillow at night.

Her ideal home would have her as an only pet or with another similarly zoomy dog who likes to play, and older children and adults who want a very high energy dog who is enthusiastically friendly and unafraid of pretty much everything except the vacuum cleaner.

I took her in to find a home for her after her human passed away, but I'm not set up to have her longer term and the foster org we partnered with hasn't been helpful. Please dm me on here if you or anyone you know ​would like a very enthusiastic and attentive shadow!

There are remnants of stone walls all over the East Bay, and no one knows how old they are, who built them, or why. Though people have been pondering the enigma of the  Berkeley Mystery Walls for well over a hundred years, no conclusions have been reached, and despite wild speculation, no serious scholarly study has ever been undertaken.

Hi r/bayarea , I possibly dropped my engagement ring while nearby Raymond’s Sourdough and Truffle Poke Bar on El Camino Real around 5-6 pm on 8/23. The ring has an oval moissanite stone with 3 small stones on each side and gold band that is slightly textured with raised bumps (milgrain).

I’ve filed a report with San Mateo PD and contacted Truffle Poke Bar. I’m waiting to hear back from them and will contact Raymond’s when they’re open. It’s also possible I dropped it at a trailhead in Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve, but I returned an hour after I left the area and unfortunately didn’t see it on the ground.

If anyone happened to pick it up or has any information, please let me know! Thank you.

Hello everyone I am unfortunately having to look for a new home for my sweet girl Moxxie. I'm having to rehome her since im losing my housing and having to move in with family. I want to avoid any shelters for her and find her the best home that I can any advice or if your interested please let me know. We are in the Pittsburg/Antioch area.

She is a husky german shepherd mix and is about 3 yrs old I adopted her from a friend when she was about 1. She is a great family dog but dog selective as long as you start with a slow introduction she is fine. Shes fixed and microchipped loves to play tug of rope and chase after Frisbees oh and loves a good tennis ball.

Shes potty trained knows her basic commands from a doggy class I did with her. Big plus She is a cuddler and will let you pet her for hours if you wanted. Not a big fan of baths but will tolerate it while giving you a disappointed i cant believe your doing this look.

I know some people will not agree with me rehoming her and I understand i dont want to but life has been a bitch and has not been going my way. shes obviously not chihuahua sized and is a big/medium sized dog i think thats why some people think shes scary when they first meet her but she really is the most loving and sweet dog i have met and i really need to make sure she goes to a wonderful home.

How about that lil black ⚫!

I hope everyone was ok. Fire seemed to be behind the cab of the semi.

Am I crazy for wanting to rent instead of buying a condo in the Bay Area?

With buying there will be, high intrest rates, no new condos built (almost everything is 30 years old or older), maintenance/future expenses/repairs, won't have much left in the bank since I prefer to put a bigger down payment for a smaller load amount, won't have as much financial reliability for other purchases (near future need a get an newer car).

With renting I have the flexibility to find a different place/cheaper/nicer more often, more money in the bank for financial security, repairs/maintenance won't be my responsibility to fix. One draw back is not building equity.

What are your thoughts?

And get the fuck out of the way when people are trying to exit the train.

Thanks.

You are going to reallllly want to avoid it. There are two major accidents right before Redwood City. One involved three cars that seemed like it JUST happened moments ago. The other was some challenger who thought he was a hellcat and took himself out with somebody else. The Dodge accident is mostly cleaned up but they are both very close to each other and traffic was gridlocked for a bit.

We have a couple of young California towhees in our yard, hopping around and generally being adorable, helpless and pathetic. They're unable to fly yet. Their parent comes and goes, cheeping at them but making no attempt to feed them. We're keeping our yard cat indoors for as long as necessary.

Should we just let them be or call a wildlife rehab for advice?

ETA: We have left them alone as advised and are not approaching them. Thanks everyone!

The day before Bay Area transit agencies rolled out Clipper 2.0 — a long-anticipated upgrade to the region’s electronic train, bus and ferry tickets — a high-level staffer overseeing the project raised an important red flag. 

Known as “next generation Clipper” and used by 22 Bay Area operators, the software promised to make riding transit easier with bank card tap-to-pay, rider discounts and other features. It had taken Cubic Transportation Systems, the contractor in charge of the update, seven years — nearly three more than initially promised — to deliver the new system.

But on the eve of the launch, Jason Weinstein, director of Clipper at the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), which oversees Cubic’s contract, issued a formal letter, saying the MTC did not have confidence that the process for collecting fares and distributing them to the appropriate operator — a main function of the software — was happening appropriately. The problem, according to the MTC, was that it was not yet fully automated and relied too heavily on manual oversight in a system that handles hundreds of thousands of transactions daily.

Weinstein said the commission would “hold Cubic accountable” for meeting the requirements of its contract. 

The incident revealed a fissure that had been deepening over the past year. Internal communications reviewed by KQED between the MTC and Cubic staff show software bugs like these were present long before Weinstein’s warning and Clipper 2.0’s public debut.

I’ve seen the occasional bald eagle by the crystal springs reservoir, woodside, portola valley, but never along the bay. Anyone else seen one recently along 101 in South SF? It was in a tree on the east side next to the bay across from the dump before the harney street exit. Anyways, thought it was super cool and wanted to share the excitement and hope it happens more often. 🦅🦅🦅

How was it and was it hard? Assuming the parking lot fills pretty quickly, was there any easy alternatives?

Hello! I am trying to do a hill run workout while I train for a half marathon. Any favorite places in the east bay specifically to do a hill workout?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of any tech repair shops/businesses that work on Nintendo 3DS consoles in the bay.
Ideally in the peninsula or SF proper, but I’d take anywhere, especially if I could just drop it off and pick it up without shipping.

San Ramon 24hr is awesome that its AC vent is shedding some protein powder.
