Aramati and Arcis
Hi, my name is Aramati (86207) and this is my buddy Arcis (86208). When I go exploring, Arcis isn't far behind because we love each other and pretty much everyone we meet. For Valentine's Day, I would like to go home with a family that will let me hop on their laps while Arcis cuddles and gives kisses. If nuzzling is your thing, come and meet us at HSSV's Animal Community Center! Visit the Humane Society Silicon Valley, 901 Ames Ave., Milpitas, or call (408) 262-2133.

On my previous visits to Calero County Park, I have always walked the lower portions of the park nearer the reservoir. This terrain bobs and rolls over round hills dotted with coast live oaks, valley oaks and bay trees. As you move away from the lake toward the park's southern boundary, the Bald Peaks ridge leaps 1,000 feet above the reservoir. From that high perch, the full sweep of the Bay Area spreads out beneath you.

And then he willingly took the biggest risk ever and taste tested our ice cream for us to make sure it wasn’t “poisoned.”
