Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?

Sandra, my doggies are Boston Terriers.....they love to sleep together all day/every day....at night when it is time for bed we say okay time for bed....they all run into their bedroom and hop into their individual crates and wait for a treat. (two story condo of crates-3 on each level......in the am after they eat the younger one go back to bed (to their crates)for about an hour. In the afternoon I will  the 3 younger ones go in to "take a nap" and they run down the hall and into their bedroom/crates......such creatures of HABIT!  We have a large bagel bed in the living room that they share and if anybody does not want to share we have 2 wood end table crates with a bagel bed and blankets in each.  My oldest one is blind but gets around fine.

Mimi...tried before to say how much I love our Clown Mimi....love your outfit....With your golden Peggy (with training) and you as a clown would make a great THERAPY TEAM in a hospital &/or nursing home....to bring smiles to humans faces.   (I was a a pet partner team with one of my previous bostons...that was such an inspiration to others, she had lost a leg to cancer and lost her vision when she was 4....she had an intuition that was amazing....smelling the side of my girlfriends head that had brain cancer on that side, pushed her hand under a lady's hand and the lady who did not respond to anyone responded by petting her over and over again, and while working with an autistic child along with a OT and sometimes a PT, she developed a trust for my Dolly and said her FIRST WORDS ever to my dog.

Cutting this short...again

Sandra....in Ketchikan we usually walk around town back to Creekside (LOOK for salmon in the "creek"), where Dolly's house is, I plan to buy a reversible coat with hood (fleece on one side/nylon on other for $20) a shop at Creekside as the one I have is well used and too big since "C" altered my large chest.  We also buy canned salmon at a shop that has all different flavors of smoked salmon.  One time we took a lift up to the top to a "hotel" had some relics up there, last year and took a hike down and around...very muddy.

Last year we went to the discovery center...really interesting!

Okay....when we got off the ship last year there on top of telephone pole was a huge Eagle watching everyone get off the ship....also when we went whale watching in Juneau there are lost of eagles that hang out by the marinas.

There are eagles nested across the street  from my house too.....usually I only see them in the winter/early spring and when they are nest making and making babies.....they chase all the other birds away.

Sandra I found out the restaurant in you hotel CLOSES at 1:30, I let GG and Wren know too.

Morning gals!

Di, it is so fun reading about your adventures in Alaska!   And you live in the Pacific NW?  I would LOVE that climate....  

THIS must be the place!  

How exciting the cruise and the ports all sound.  Sure makes a person maybe want to stow-away you know.  Well, it is just too hot here to do anything but stay inside -- so all my work today inside should get done.  There are always on-going projects here.   I guess if I were to stow away -- to anywhere, I'll have to wait for better weather.

No eating on the deck or sitting for long and won't be using the porch seing in the yard.  We had the frame ( needed some serious horing up ) sitting around for a couple of years and Dh finally got around to it this yr.  Hmm, must be my bad attitude as I'm thinking he did that to get out of doing something else that he wanted to take care of even less.  Sigh !!!  Hush my mouth....the non-complainer, complains. 

Blessings

I'm with Carole ... will be waiting to hear about the trip.  Have fun ... all travelers!

Di,

Too funny--- I love it.

ThanksSally!

I just love the whales....no matter if it is in Mexico or Alaska or in between....if you want to hear an old lady squeal...show me a whale.

There was a time before I ever saw a whale, other than a book, when I was a child they said whales would soon be extinct....I was sad and dreamed I could  see them before they were all gone.....so I still go C-R-A-Z-Y when I spot them now. THERE SHE BLOWS!    eeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkk

Chevy 

Yep that is the red onion.

Here is Dolly's....is that you Chevy, in the doorway....or  is that Cammi?   

Hi all, and welcome to all the new faces.

Just got home today from a two week trip to Iowa to visit my 89 year old mom who still lives in her own home, doing pretty good.  Physical condition is probably better than mental.

Glad to be home. Lots to do, now have a DGD to get to school every day by 7:45.  Oh Boy 

Will do are best.

Very exhausted, will post more later.  Hugs

I just can't wait for out vicarious trip to Alaska. The preview travel log has created  frenzie of stowaways. We want the juice details along with itinerary stuff. Like who partied all night and what wonders did you see in the gift shop. Stuff we won't see on public tv travelogues. I better sleep. I need to be bright and sunny for a sweet 5 year old girls birthday arty tomorrow. 

Morning gals!  How fun Di!!!!

Cammi, she talked about us, and you completely missed it!  She was being ..... what IS that word????  I  mean she was assuming that WE, mind you, are one and the same...or that we think alike, and are just plain.... nuts.  Ha, ha!  

Di, is that really legal?  I mean can they DO that?  Like in Vegas?  I mean is it a Brothel?  

Oh well, guess that's better than a parking-lot somewhere at dusk where you can watch the fire-fly's....... Oh wait.... It was "Watch the Ducks" I was told.

And I LOVE Whales!  I've never seen one...  they aren't abundant here in Denver.... but I love watching those shows on TV....  

Still trying to get our house in tip-top shape for DD from Orlando coming to visit!  Gotta clean "their" room upstairs, which became a "put everything upstairs that we don't use.... and then when I am 77, just try and get UP there, not to mention DOWN  without calling a Priest room"

We just don't use it too often, other than storing "stuff!"  So since it is cooler lately, it will be perfect to clean & reminisce.... Ha!  

I have to clean, and get stuff out of there.... things I never use, or remember... or want...  At least I don't have to PAINT again.

Chevy, your house looks so welcoming ... I bet the DDs kept it full of kids as they were growing up.  Do I see Virginia creeper that has changed to orange already?  The brown trim on your white house is a delightful combination.

Chevy,  I love your house!!!!  It reminds me of a home in a novel or two!  Lovely.

Oops - that was meant to be "looks" like an English cottage:-).
