Dudley is the best dog I've ever owned and I've owned plenty. The son of a standard poodle and golden retriever and commonly referred to as a golden doodle.

GD's don't shed and are the perfect breed for allergy sufferers. This guy doesn't leave my side.

Hi Poultrygeist.
Nice doggy you have there.
However, the longer the hair,
the more maintenance you have.

Took a whole group of 19 parents and kids to The City Museum in Saint Louis today. We had a blast. It was a little overcast, but I caught a few interesting pics up on the roof.
Climbed 10+ stories of stairs. Whew! Am I worn out... Made it back to So. IL safely, and I'm going to bed early tonight.

Bought some dog clippers and shave him down twice a year. That's all the maintenance he gets.

Hi Jon L
Nice little hairball you have there,
I am sure that your little hairball is a lot less maintenance
than Poultrygeist's big hairball.
Does your four legged hairball has a name?

Hi all.
There is a lot of recycling done on planet Vietnam.
This guy collect from restaurants table leftover.
They process it (Don't know how and don't want to know how)
and then, feed the pigs with it.
I would not want to be a pig and eat that...

The solar water heaters are becoming very popular
and also very inexpensive.
We have one that costed us 500 USD
and can supply hot water to six (06) person.
We don't have an electric water heater anymore,
it's not required.
There is an insulated holding tank for the days that there are no sun.

Hi all.
I took this picture while hiding, because the Vietnamese policeman
don't like to get their picture taken.
I was on my previous house's roof.
The policeman get a commission on the tickets they issue.
Many time, if you cannot pay the ticket fee on the spot,
they put your motto in a truck and it's sent to he pound
and then of course you have to pay more.
A ticket for not put on your turning flasher is 25 USD,
that's a lot for someone that earns between 200 to 300 USD a month.

Hi Jon L
Here a picture of our sweet deceased dog Tadashi.
My wife as just pull him out of the washing machine.
That's the fast and easy way.

My wife did the hair clipping with a pair of regular scissors.

Hi bside 123.
Nice pictures. (Boy in a cage)
I don't want to be negative,
but what happen if lightning strike that metal cage?
I know that if it rains, they won't go in the cage,
but sometimes it happens so fast.
Sorry about that,
don't want to spoil those nice pictures that require
some stairs climbing.

What is it? Poodle? Shar-Pei? No, it's a Shar-Poo!

In case you were wonderin', the Hummers are back in full force this year. It's been hard to keep enough nectar in the feeders. These critters are thirsty, thirsty, thirsty.

Great looking Shar-Poo.

In some places a Golden Doodle is called a Goldie-Poo.

For fear of injuring his maleness I've never told Dudley that.

Hey!

That's a beautiful shot man.

A perfect split second capture of that humming bird.

Take care,
Buddy

Hi all.
Picture taken near my house in a public garden.

An altar for ancestors and decease relatives.
They rotate fruits so they are always fresh,
Same goes for the flowers.

Since there are no butterflies around my house and in the city,
I bought this frame to give me and others an idea of the nice short living butterflies in Vietnam.

Please don’t ask me the name of that flower, I don’t know.
I am not good at remembering names of persons, even less of flowers.

Monks can also be tourist and do snap shot of pagodas.

Don't think I've ever seen one.
