When we left, there were 2 deer in the orchard, enjoying the ripe apples on the trees. As I got this shot, the dogs (who were already in the car) saw what I was looking at - DEER! - and started barking wildly. Both deer darted off.

Someone took a photo of us, for me.


After the walk, and some water for all 5 of us!, I set the fluffs up on an empty table and asked someone to take photos for me. From left: Willy, Belle, Riley and Tasha.








And 2 pics of the Promise Garden.




That's all!

Aww, it must be so nice to see your Dad's face light up when the fluffs walk in! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

I am not surprised everyone needed water at the end. It was so unexpectedly hot here today, two of the mourning doves ended up taking baths to cool off in the water dish I have out for the wildlife - one hopped in to scare off a sparrow, "Sheesh - there's enough water for both of you," I thought, but then stayed in for a while, fluffing out feathers and having a nice bath!

Love the pictures-thanks for sharing them Freedom. Your dad really does seem to be on cloud nine with the fluffs, Willy seems to have that 6th sense for your dad, the look in his eyes are pure joy. How very kind of the staff to let you take the fluffs in the home, our homes mostly don't allow that. And the one home that does allow it will allow one dog only--
Love the red shirts for the walk---

I love how they will let you bring in the fluffs to see your dad. He so enjoys them!
Great photos!

Your father's face just lights up when The Fluffs pay him a visit

You had a great day for the walk - blue sky and sun. Thanks so much for sharing with us

Great photos!

I do, too! I bet the fluffs make many people smile when you take them for a visit! They make ME smile when I see the photos!

Today's newspaper, we broke a 71 year record for high temp yesterday! That is so neat, I can picture the dove enjoying a bath, how wonderful!

Thanks everyone for enjoying my photos with me. We did have a nice time, were quite tuckered for most of the day afterwards.

Loved seeing all the pictures. The fluffs look so cute in their outfits.
How far was the walk? I'm so glad you all had such good weather for the event. Thanks for sharing
some of the day with us.

The entire route was almost 3 miles. We did almost 2 miles, taking a short cut back to the gathering area, for shade and water. We'd been at the gathering area for almost an hour before the walk started, so the fluffs had lots of folks oohing and aahing over them, petting them, and so on. So, they had a lot of excitement!

Thanks for stopping by, Pat!
