Thank you very very much. None of the pictures posted were more than 50 feet from the car. You see at the time I took this I was also 86. I hope you have a great time. Fall is the best time.
Thanks for the information. He should be able to handle this with no problem. Looking forward to it!!!
Beautiful shots. Question if you don't mind...we're thinking of going to Yosemite this fall, how far of a hike from a road is it to see scenery such as this? Have a going to be 88 years old cancer survivor with us, and while he can walk pretty well, he's not up to strenuous hikes.
Love the smooshy faces. But not full alert....ears are still down. :*) He's adorable. Nicely done.

I can’t agree more. Locking oneself in doesn’t make much sense to me when all that’s needed are proper precautions.
My brother and sister in law had not left their house AT ALL since March until a few weeks ago. She became ill with a GI issue, so to try to take care of herself at home she consumed nothing but chicken broth for 3 weeks (and reportedly skimmed the fat from that, so basically just chicken flavored water). She became so weak she fell and couldn't get up. With her husband begging her to let him call an ambulance and her flat refusing for 24 hours because she was afraid if she left the house she'd get covid. He finally over ruled her and called 911. They were able to get her up and to a chair, and she refused to go to hospital. The paramedics kept telling her she seriously needed to go in. They finally put a glass of water on a table across the room and told her if she could get up and get it, they'd agree that she could stay home, otherwise she'd have to go in even against her will. She couldn't make it to the glass. She was in the hospital for a few days, IV fluids and support because she was so malnourished, I never have heard what the GI issue was...but at any rate she's doing better. But it just baffles me that she would have rather laid there and died on the floor of her home than risk covid by seeking medical attention. Perhaps we're not as careful as we could be...we mask and wash hands and distance, but we go out to dinner every week with dear friends of ours. We've gone on a few trips, but again try to avoid the more "peopley" areas.
Nice shots. Were you on the Legend? We cruised on her back in October. Nice ship. Loved Mahogany Bay, we got to visit with the sloths. Cuddling a sloth was probably the highlight of the whole trip for me.

Polly is a beauty.
Thanks! She's a sweetie, little cuddlebug...but that tongue!!! She can lick the hide right off of you.
Our little baby Polly. She licks every chance she gets. In this instance it was the ball on the footboard. Silly girl. I just love the little smooshie faces.
What a cutie! From the looks of the paws guessing she still has a little growing to do...
I love this. Great timing, and the look in her eyes is awesome.
Love the drafts! Beautiful shots!
Thanks y'all for the kind comments. It was a good time and a lot of fun.
