I don't think Yo-Yo is looking to 'play' from that expression, Chris!(LOL)<:))

Right Place at the Right Time, My Friend!!

A delightful dog and cat image!! #10071459

Chris Ebben April 02, 2012

I didn't let them get to close, I wasn't too sure of that look either. Yoyo would come around every morning to deliver breakfast & check if there were any left-overs from the night before, for her. This was a wonderful place to stay, everyone was so friendly. #10072142
