StanleyandGus

How heartbreaking for your son.

Thanks for the reminder!

I did try that based on the vet’s recommendations. Stanley likes the toothpaste, but, not surprisingly, doesn’t like having his teeth brushed. We tried a sort of finger cot with scrubbie bits, but that didn’t work either. He does like dental treats though, so that’s what he’s having!

Happy anniversary to Graham and Pauline! Your wedding photo is lovely, but you look even better now.

She’s a lovely cat, but she doesn’t look entirely sure of the hat!

Here a picture of Augustus (or Gus) this morning, with apparently the pen I use for sudoku on the floor!

The shawl is lovely. My dining room is a no cat zone- it’s hard to quilt with a cat on one end of the project! The only drawback is sometimes you need a dining room.

You really are the best grandfather! Your grandkids are very lucky.

A lot of the English books are the sort of thing that one might read in an English class- The Great Gatsby, Tale of Two Cities etc. You might be able to find something more contemporary, but I would bring several books on my reader just in case!

I believe a truce is being negotiated between Stanley (cat) and Thor (dog). Stanley is the one in charge.

I feel like apologizing.

Oh well, I was hoping to meet you- maybe at some time.

Is that the 10 day Enchantment cruise? We have also booked this.

Everything is fine- I was travelling, first to Scotland and then spent some time in Toronto with my younger son. Scotland was great- it was to see family, but lots of sightseeing got done! I now have Thor, my older son’s German Shepherd with me, as his “Dad” is deployed for forest fire support in BC. We will probably have him for about 4- 6 weeks, unless it rains copiously! It’s hard to keep up with this thread, so I will rejoin now!

Mine is in Canadian dollars.

In a good way- I wish I hadn’t chosen blue, like else has!

Well, they might get lost by the airline, but it’s highly unlikely that someone will mistake them for their luggage!

@Husky1987. I’m so sorry about the fire, but your attitude is great. I hadn’t really thought about trees as a fire hazard, except for out of control forest fires. Thanks for waking me up!

I have a question. We are doing a Panama Canal cruise on Serenade of the Seas in November, arriving in Los Angeles. For those of you familiar with the area, is a 1215 flight too tight for comfort? We are travelling in a suite, so getting off the ship shouldn’t be a problem. We are flying to Vancouver, and then Regina. Also, momof3gurls and Jimbo, the kitchen and hardwood look great!

I definitely would. Our last house had white tiles with white grout in the kitchen and family room, all the way to the front door. The grout was filthy- we ended up regrouting, which I am never doing again!

That was an excellent review, with lovely pictures! It has me expanding my horizons, despite the snakes and sharks!

No turkey pictures, but here’s a sign from my hometown. The turkeys actually do cross there!

@TravelGirlinDallas My son in law plays the French horn professionally, so there is a career there! He went to college in Houston. Your son is a handsome boy.

Thank you for this marvellous trip report! You write very well, and the photos were great.

I love your sense of style! MxCatLady looks very nice as well! I’m sorry you’re sick; I hope it didn’t detract too much from the trip.
