They call us "The Elders" We were born in the 40s-50s-60s. We grew up in the 50s-60s-70s. We studied in the 60s-70s-80s. We dated in the 70s-80s-90s. We got married and discovered the world in the 70s-80s-90s. We ventured into the 80s-90s.
We stabilized in the 2000s. We became wiser in 2010. And we are firmly moving beyond 2020. It seems like we live in eight different decades... TWO different centuries... TWO separate millennials...
We have gone from telephone with a long distance operator to video calls anywhere in the world.
We've gone from slides to YouTube, vinyl records to online music, handwritten letters to email and WhatsApp. From live game radio, to black and white television, to color television and then to 3D HD television. I went to the video store and now I watch Netflix.
We met the first computers, punched cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones. We wore shorts all our childhood and then trousers, oxfords, rockets, full shells and blue jeans. We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19. We used to ride roller skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, gasoline or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric cars.
Yes, we've been through a lot, but what a life we've had! They could describe us as "exemplars", people born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and digital adulthood. We're like "I've seen it all"! Our generation has literally lived and witnessed more than anyone else in all dimensions of life. It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE." A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE! From Alicia Paz's wall

We train bird dogs too. Hank just got back from his first trip to Summer Lake. It was his first big waterfowl experience.

We’re proud to say his owner and him had a great time and got quite a few birds. Hank was able to be casted at a distance, our directional work with him and his owner has really paid off!

Great work, Hank!

Obedience isn’t always drills. Obedience can also be getting up on things, going under those things, and dealing with another dog doing either of those in your space.

Scotch works hard to have another dog, especially another intact male, this close to him. Imus even smelled him and checked him out but Scotch settled in and we got some amazing shots of them together.
