#NationalDogDay: Charlie, one of our family dogs, passed away last week from a gradual paralysis. Charlie was a wonderful Yorkshire. Charlie walked around and hung out with everyone enjoying their company. I loved dog-sitting this great guy. I can see why people adore their pets. Paradise is open to all animals, as they say. 🐶 Charlie, uno de los perros de nuestra familia, falleció la semana pasada de una parálisis gradual. Charlie era un Yorkshire maravilloso. Caminó y pasó el rato con todos disfrutando la compañía de una persona. Me encantaba cuidar de este chico. Puedo ver por qué la gente ama sus mascotas. El Paraíso está abierto a todos los animales, como dicen. 🐶 #Charlie (at Indio, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXvfXwhAVi/?igshid=1i16rho6cmvz9

@Tokyo.Central has riddles (“なぞなぞ) in their queues to think about and solve while waiting six feet apart. These are interesting. Riddle 1: What is it that given one, you’ll have either one or two? Riddle 2: What is the difference between a school boy studying and a farmer watching his cattle? #TokyoCentralYorbaLinda #なぞなぞ 🐮 🇯🇵 🤔 (at Yorba Linda, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBhbC4XBDnr/?igshid=122vidrywd03i
