Caturday: 2005 Revisiting Gnome
Gertrude, Cuddles, and the Gnome – 2005
This is one of my favorite pictures.
I think they were transfixed on a bird outside the back door.
You would never know they really did not like each other.
Gertrude lived in my office – Cuddles owned the bedroom.
Both are gone over the bridge many years now.

I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.

Follow Up Friday: Protect, Honor and Remember
Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog. This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).
It is Friday 13th. Please make sure to keep all black cats inside today. People are cruel, especially when Friday falls on the 13th of the month and Halloween.
Louise started the new medicine this week. She did not tolerate it very well at first, but we seem to be getting the hang of it. I will keep you updated on her progress through the weeks.
Last week, Caturday started with a funny Russian sitting cat. Doesn’t his back hurt after a while?
Black and White Sunday was a view into the dog’s vigil by the pool fence, waiting for either a squirrel or fox. They do take turns but Sofie seems to sleep on the job a lot.
The dogs went swimming in Mojo’s new pool on Monday Mischief. Sofie absolutely loved being in the pool once she got over the initial fear. Louise won’t even try it. Mojo is in it every moment. He also got a new sister this week. Her name is Zelda and she is 7 weeks old from the same Labrador breeder that Mojo (who is 5) came from. Louise and Sofie have not met her yet, but I bet she will be a swimmer, just like her big brother.
Tuesday’s tails had a ton of FREE cats. What an incredible gift that someone gave to the shelter to pre-pay for so many cats to help get them homes. I do hope that people saw this as an opportunity to adopt.
Wordless Wednesday fell on the anniversary of the 9/11 Tragedy. It is so sad to think of the meaningless killing that went on that day. So many lives were lost. It is just so heart breaking. I was up in NY visiting my sister a few weeks after the attacks, and we went into Manhattan (it was her 50th birthday). I cried when I saw the armed guards at the entrances to every tunnel and bridge. I’ve seen that kind of police presence outside the US, but never here before that. My friend Susan survived the attack at the Pentagon. She was one of the luck ones a few rings in. This pointless killing really needs to stop, don’t you think?
Thankful Thursday gave me the opportunity to thank all the people and animals that live their lives in service to keep me free.
May you know safety, and love, and freedom, now and forever. Thanks for reading.
That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us. Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

Thankful Thursday: Cost of Freedom
Today is Thankful Thursday and, as always, DogDaz has many things to be thankful for.
Today we are thankful for our freedom. We are so lucky to live somewhere that we are able to not have to worry much about losing our homes, our lives, or our loved ones. We walk the streets freely, with dogs in tow, and have peace and quiet around us. I wish that for everyone, everywhere – but I know it is not so.
Safety and freedom is something that I have always known as an American. My father fought in World War II and came home with a bullet in his leg for the rest of his life. My cousins and loved ones fought in Vietnam and other military events. I hate war, it makes no sense to me. But, whether I understand it or not, I am one of the luck ones.
Thank you to the men, women, and animals, who serve proudly to keep me and you safe.
