I believe cats think if they stick their tongue out a little like that, people will do anything for them. They are not entirely wrong - LOL

Your remark - (We foster them - is that for a limited time?)

Until they're either adopted (ours actually were, even as seniors) or we had one sanctuary foster Golden who came to us at age 15 and lived to be 16.

He looks like an old soul, albeit a grumpy one! Naaaah--he's beautiful!

I am trying to get a photo of our Great Pyrenees to post, but every time I get down on the floor to take it, he comes over to see what's wrong with me and licks my face until I get up.

I will have to sneak up on him and get one before he realizes I am there.

Nice shot, hate the tag lines, from Arnold Schwarzenegger: regarding mask use:.
" In response to this sentiment, he calls on Americans to reflect on the fact that "our country began with a willingness to make personal sacrifices for the collective good."

Loving all these photos you are all posting! Attached is one of our 3 legged lab/pit mix Penny catching an afternoon nap. Are there any other tripod dogs in the Villages?

Oh Crosby. I am older too. xoxoxo

ADORABLE!! I agree, we need a daily doggie post!
We had a 110 pound yellow lab with a pink nose that looks just like your pup!!

Thank you for your pictures, very cute we had a Westie that past a few years back.

This is where I wanted to stop my comment and hate how everything seems to turn on this site, but your statement/comments at the bottom of your post compelled me to continue.

I’m sorry that you feel so strongly about vaccinations,

“They're shots (not vaccines).
They're experimental and the experiment is not over.
I'm not getting them (ever). About 90 million people agree (USA).
And, I'm not wearing the damn mask.
Majority doesn't rule here. My body, my choice. Get over it.”

I hope and pray that you, your grandchildren or other family members aren’t affected and become very ill or god forbid die because of your (Freedom to Choose) decision.

I struggle to understand, even some in my own family have the same viewpoint. Is it political, religious, fear, stubbornness or misinformed stupidity? “My body, my choice” what’s your stand on abortion same “battle cry”? If you travel overseas your required to be vaccinated. My profession required random drug testing, that violated my body my choice, but the safety of the traveling public superseded my rights and because I couldn’t survive on a fast food salary I stayed.

This is about protecting your fellow man (Matthew 25) not being selfish.

I am vaccinated and will be wearing my”damn mask” doing my part to protect you and the “90 million”, albeit a shrinking number account of some getting ill or are dead.

I’ll get over it and pray, that if you get Covid you’ll “Get Over It”.

I am sorry yo9u felt the need to bring that into this thread about pets. A simple one line in your signature would state your position.

Be safe.

rrb48310 08-15-2021 10:18 AM

Me too

Me too, as I said “I hate how this site turns” and because of the statement on the bottom of this posters post, that in of itself brings it to every post he does with or without pets.

Sorry to be a Grumpy Old Man.

Be safe one and all.
