Our oldster is becoming more heat-intolerant as far as walks go; hoping there are more Heath walks with Olga in your future. But if neighborhood walks are what Olga wants, it's neighborhood walks for the both of you. <br /><br />Chris from Boise (on Mike's computer yet again)Mike O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164901004332973021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-27758472087244686652021-06-14T22:04:17.456+01:002021-06-14T22:04:17.456+01:00Wow, I would not like that amount of noise either....Wow, I would not like that amount of noise either.

When I am ready to carry my fur babies outside early mornings they look at me like they are telling me to leave them the hell alone because we are sleeping. I left for dialysis Thursday morning and on my way out the door I told them neither better not piss on my floor. I think they were looking at me with one eye closed but when I came home everything was fine. They ran out then. Our fur babies are very smart. They might not can tell us what they are not going to do but they show us. (lol) Your garden is beautiful. My fruit trees came back beautiful after the extreme cold weather we had but there's no fruit. I thought I would have some plums but not this year. And remember our fur babies rule.
