Gateway to security

Yesterday I began assembling a gate at the bottom of the stairs that lead down from the deck, and today I finished just before it started to rain. This is the last enclosure to create a fully functional dog yard. I admit that there are many people who have greater accomplishments to be proud of for the day, consider all the Democrats in Colorado who are giving such fine speeches, for example. What else of note has happened today? Nothing much in the news, so possibly this gate ranks fairly high. I'll check tomorrow in the paper and see if there is anything superior to that.
I figured out how to add images, so I am going to put here a picture of Isaac:

This is a handsome cat, for sure. This picture taken shortly after we got him. Now I will put Riley into this space.


This is actually a painting of Riley that Libby and I commissioned from an artist in Corvallis. Isn't she just lovely? Now she won't get loose and get run-over by a passing car.

You're pets are so cute and handsome. I hope you can make enough fences and gates to keep them around!! I'm sure Riley will be challenging your design and trying to escape. Isaac should know where the food is and come around for some lazy naps in the sun too. Keep blogging and I enjoy your poems too.
