My kids held a yard sale at my house today

I was up early, didn't do a lot to help set it up or take it down, but I feel like I put in a full day! I want to take a nap, but have to clean off my bed. My granddaughter tried on prom dresses worn by her Mom and aunt back in the day, and left them on the bed. Also other clothes from other eras. lol

We sure know how to have fun!

Good puppers!

Here are our two. The guy in front was born with serious hip dysplasia. It cost us close to $12,000 for a total hip replacement at 11 months. He just turned two. He's 120 lbs.

The girl in back is 95 lbs, but would be 200 lbs if we didn't keep a close eye on her! She eats everything!

The little dog was found as a stray or was dumped. She was never claimed and they've had her for 3+ years. She's a doll. The big boy is rehomed. They've had him about 2 years. He's pretty young, well-meaning but klutzy

They rescued a young kitten right after they got the little dog. The dog adopted the kitten with obvious bewilderment. Now, the cat is bigger than his adoptive Mom. They are bonded for sure, even if they both have a lot of questions about their relationship! lol It's one of the damnedest things I've ever seen.

If it's 1 thing that never loses it's timelessness it's that.
Sounds like you had yourself a great day over there
