It was.

Yes, I did.

Well said - thank you. Agree. And one HAL ship seems to be particularly popular.

Not @Mary229 I classify opening my cabin door resulting in having an unleashed dog run into my cabin and bark at me as an "unprovoked encounter." Surely you don't suggest the mere act of a passenger opening their cabin door to be provocation?

Had to do that for DH and I - fixed our log in issues.

@Nickelpenny Martina's box is lovely ❤️

@StLouisCruisers Ashley is beautiful and Finn is quite handsome!! @puppycanducruise Bernie Woofster is absolutely adorable!! @Seasick Sailor Ollie is precious! @Overhead Fred thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures. Unrelated topic- cancer has taken O J Simpson.

DH says thank you @Quartzsite Cruiser @marshhawk @cunnorl for the birthday wishes 🎂🥳 After working around people all day, he does not like to go out once he's home. I respect that, so we will have birthday dinner at home. I'll steam some crab legs & corn on the cob for him; I'll have a big salad. He will have a cake 🎂 w/candles for dessert. The small dog enjoys using the big dog for a pillow. I think big dog likes it - he never moves. The cat slips in when he can.

Interesting collection of days - like many others here, I celebrate pets everyday but will certainly let them have their day. Pass on the meal, drink and wine; been to the port but not on a ship. Thanks to @JazzyV @Mr. Boston @smitty34877 @dfish @Denise T @StLouisCruisers @grapau27 @puppycanducruise and everyone else for DHs birthday wishes; apologies if I left someone off. I am sending each of them to him - wonder how long it takes before he asks where all the birthday wishes are coming from 🤷‍♀️ as immediate family gets smaller each year, receiving birthday blessings from the extended & adopted families is touching. WOW @aliaschief on the amazing food porn - looks like they really are taking care of you all!! @Heartgrove Sam is such a beautiful boy. Thanks to everyone for sharing pictures of their fur babies - I will be back to see what gets posted throughout the day. No such thing as too many pet pictures. It was 55° headed to sunny 64° when I checked several hours ago. Not getting out today, but will have the backdoor open if a breeze comes by. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

They do - we use it every time; it's great.

Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts DH appointment tomorrow goes well.

That is a generous window.

Exactly. I am not "anti-dog." I am "anti-pet" on a cruiseline that has a no pet policy. And I am "anti-imposter" and all that goes w/it.

Exactly and thank you. I feel the same way about my two dogs that I love dearly. And miss dearly while I'm cruising and they are not. I 1000% support legitimate service dogs accompanying their humans any and every where necessary.

NICE - I've not seen these on any of the 'dam ships I've been on. I would love them.

The knock really is VERY light. DH and I joke about which one is going to wake up so we don't miss the knock.

@Nickelpenny your pictures are amazing!! Thank goodness "horse guy" delivered you safely back to your car.

The Universe must celebrate Siblings Day... I was preparing to back out of Dr parking lot, sister pulled in next to me; she uses same PCP. She gave me a box and said it would make me think of Baby Brother. ❤️ Already cleaned w/icy cold tea in it.

Very nice photos @Cruising-along I enjoy seeing all the pictures and hope they trigger many happy memories.

@dfish I love it - trade for a pony 😊 Those are great pictures. This is all 4 of us taken when my younger brother was on Christmas break from Notre Dame; a rare time when we were living in the same area. Who knew all these years later he would be gone. 💔 This is a framed sketch a friend did for me from a picture I found when cleaning out my dad's house. My younger brother had been born, but for unknown reason was not in the picture, so this is the 3 of us now, just younger, lol.

We also used Hyannis for a 🐋 whale watching cruise that was amazing! The crew was great.

FT means full time. Dr wanted me on an intermittent leave, which didn't work out. If Dr signs the papers, I will get 50% pay for 12 weeks. If she doesn't sign, no pay. I don't think 12 weeks is enough to get me through surgery, rehab and address all the "stuff" I have going on.🤷‍♀️

Awe!! Thanks for sharing.

Well, crud - my post is gone so this is Take 2. Having lost my younger brother to suicide, I do cherish my remaining 2 siblings. Some days are easier than others, but always worth the effort. ❤️ Pass on the meal; not been to the port. BFF lived in Jordan when she was first married, her son was born there. Thanks @StLouisCruisers for the amazing pictures! I'm in the dark - lights just went out. 🥺Waiting to see Dr - HR wants me to go out on FT continuous leave so I'm back to try for her to sign the papers. We shall see.🤷‍♀️ One stop to make on way home - DH birthday is tomorrow so I want to buy him a card. It was 63° headed to rainy 64° when I checked 2+ hours ago (that's a long way to go - not sure it will get there, lol). Forecast calls for heavy rains; I should be home glued to the work computer before they start. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.

Thanks @StLouisCruisers for the additional info & update on Austin. Sounds like he has a good allergist in his camp and he's wisely following their advice.
