Memorial Day 2008


This is the first Memorial Day that I've spent at home since I started living with humans. I wasn't sure what sorts of things folks do on Memorial Day, so I decided to ask some of my friends.

Fiona said, "Memorial Day is a great opportunity to lay out and get my summer coat in:"

Doogan said, "Memorial Day weekend is a great opportunity to go fishing with my grandpups." Here is a picture of them getting ready - Doogan is showing them how to bait a hook.

And here they are fishing. They had a professional guide who helped them to find the fish:

Then I asked Josh what his plans were. He said "I think Memorial Day is a great opportunity to go visit some old friends and co-workers." So that's what we did:

Josh is Gerri & Jerry's son, back from Iraq, paying homage to fallen comrads-in-arms.

Excellent tribute.
