I am so sorry about your dog, Cuba. I've lost a few good dogs myself and I was sad for a long time. I have the best dog I've ever owned now and she is older. I will never find another dog as wonderful as her. I wished they lived longer as dog years are too short. And I am sorry to hear about the health problems of the older one.
I love that roof top patio! Every time I see it, I get a big smile on my face. What a stunning job the workers did on the renovation work. And I love the new seating arrangement .... I think you nailed it in the rearranging. The pond .... ahhhh! .... so lovely. I want one just like it!
