Kirby's Big Day

A great fun day for us on Kirby's Big Adventure. We drove to Hood River, where Kirb swam in the Columbia, then stopped at Tom's dad's grave (it was his 84th birthday), then continued over Mt. Hood back into the valley. This is an annual trip (sometimes a semi-annual trip), and it's one of our favorites. How many more of these will Kirby have? One? Two? Was this his last? He settled in a couple of times, hunkered down, and just sniffed the pines and the open mountain. I think he knows what's happening. He can barely move tonight, but I know he wouldn't have it any other way. What a trooper he's been.
