Photography, Travel and Retirement
All photos taken on February 4, 2021.
While we were in Vancouver, we did our best to help B & K out by driving them to appointments, walking Benji and shopping for groceries and meals. From time to time, we could all use a helping hand.

Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement. I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure. I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation. View more posts

He wears the cape well, it somehow affords him an increased sense of alertness.

I think he knew he was looking sharp and his little chest was all puffed out with pride. He wore it well for sure. Thanks for reading Leighton. Allan

The cape suits him! Reminds me of the funny videos of dogs not remembering how to walk once you put the little booties on them.

I think you can tell when dogs like the outfits their hoomins put them in. If the outfit is embarrassing, they walk around with their heads down as if they are saying “I look like a dork.” Other times, if they think they look sharp, they walk around withy their heads up saying “Hey, look at me.” No booties for Benji yet, but I have seen them here in the winter. Thanks for reading Lyssy. Allan

I agree! I feel bad for the dogs that get pushed around nyc in dog strollers. I thought the point of going outside was to get some exercise for them..

Watch for the handbag dogs in Paris. Many women on foot and on bike have tiny pups peering out of a handbag. 🐕🦺😂
