Many of those are my favourites as well. It was lovely to welcome little Zoe into our “blog family” 🙂

I know. I got a bit carried away. With Coco, too, but I’ve tried to restrain myself from posting as many.

My fave still the little boy riding on someone’s shoulders. So sweet and cute I could just hug him

These are wonderful! I especially like the sweet puppies.

I’m very fond of these puppies as well, in spite of their hi-jinks and destructive habits.

I, too, think my favorite is the little boy with the mustache riding on his dad’s shoulders! You have some great shots in this set, though, and it’s hard to pick just one or two!

Obviously, it was hard for me to choose one or two as well. Some I love for the way the photo turned out, others for what I associate them with, other because of fond memories.

Wonderful array of beautiful images Judy. Loved the diversity of your subjects. The little puppy stole my heart!

Mine, too. I didn’t like the food at the restaurant but came hope with the grandma’s puppy!

Great selections. Even dogs need a hug! Love the small dog/pup too.

The small one is the same one who is one of the huggers.

I tried to call you twice today, Laurie. Occurred to me it is too long since we last talked. xo

Maybe we just couldn’t get to the phone? It’s been a rough couple of days. A big fir tree fell from Kim and David’s yard over across Jen and Iver’s yard a couple of nights ago. Luckily missed the big buildings, but did a lot of other damage. What a mess! so we were messaging all that day. Then since Dan is feeling better (from his fall) we went into Los Barriles yesterday to the Farmer’s Market and out for a couple of tacos. I was sick for the rest of the day! Feel okay now, but it was a bad session. Yes, we always enjoy our connections with you and hope that can happen soon. Our phone number here at the Casa is still 624-130-0362, or we’ll do Facetime on Dan’s device when I feel better.. Feliz Ano Nuevo, Judy. Laurie and Dan

The number I had for you was 624-130-0291. Is that no longer valid? I’ve recorded the new one.

Aletta, I am really curious about which one looks like a flamingo…

Sorry Judy, I wrote Flamingo because that is what I was thinking about 😂🤔 was perhaps too early to think properly.

That’s what is fun about this type of challenge. It gives one permission to go back through years of photos. And to remember.

Beautiful and varied collection, Judy. I had to go back and enjoy the sweet puppy several times…♥
