Man Proposes Duck Disposes

A  L  O  H  A !
Lots of people and businesses
here in Marin county
put out water dishes for 
the many dogs walking
about with their people.  
That was our intention,
but this mallard couple 
has decided that our 
front lawn is their spa.
Who are we to complain?
They were here first. And
we enjoy their antics.

Pixie cat is a rescue.
So she spent time
in a jail cell.

We lived with her
in a small
Waikiki apartment.

She's just lucky
she came around
AFTER we got off
our boat.

But now there is
a deck and a 
fenced yard for
the cat who never
went outside
except on a lanai
[balcony].

She does not like
walking on grass,
but the rest of it
suits her to the
tip of her tail!



Thank You for
Coming This Far!
