We have them out here, but somehow they're not as nice to look at with a smog-filled background.

Yep, that would definitely be one thing I don't miss about living in California.
I remember smog alerts and not being able to go outside for P.E. at school, and such.

I lucked out, the public school were we lived was very highly ranked so I got to go to public school. But once a week it was off to CCD. I still have nightmares about my second grade "teacher/jailer" there. She (and I'm not sure about that) scared the heck out of us!

I bet! I remember watching one of the teachers wash one of our classmates' mouth out with soap for calling someone stupid. :eek:

Thank you. She's in her teens and considering her age and size, we've had her in our lives quite a while. She lives mostly on the ground floor, that's where her stuff has always been. Poor baby can't sit up and beg any more:(. So far she's getting through most days without any real issues. I cried when my dh said don't book doggie camp for her yet (I always booked a year out when we were going away) Hopefully she'll get to go and have fun one more time. She gets so spoiled there.

I hope she gets to go to doggie camp, too! Ours love it as well - lots of fresh air (relatively, since it's up in the hills) and exercise, although this last time, given their ages, they spent time in the "geriatric" section. :cat: But I think one of them may be older than we thought - we adopted her from a shelter, so it was anyone's guess how old she was back then. Right before we left on vacation she had problems using her back legs, but we finally determined it was just one of them and that she probably injured it somehow. I freaked out, though, when I went online to look up possible causes and one was this degenerative disease that has no cure and eventually they die from it! So we were quite relieved when she was more noticeably favoring one leg over the other and got back to almost normal before taking her to camp.

Lately, though I've noticed she's probably losing her hearing now, as she just looks at us with a slightly dazed expression when we're talking to her. :(
