What was probably the last warm day in Pittsburgh, on Friday October 18 we took the puppies and went downtown to see the big yellow 40 foot tall rubber duck because it was leaving Pittsburgh for good that weekend.

Because of my torn rotator cuff surgery a few weeks earlier, I couldn’t carry a camera so Mary and I took turns using my iPhone to photograph each other with Elvis and Xena. It was actually their first experience being in the middle of the massive amount of people at the point where the duck was moored. They did great. As aggressive and playful as Elvis can be, he gets really mellow around lots of people.
