Tortie is short for “tortoiseshell”, a popular coat pattern seen on many cat breeds. In the world of cat fanciers, some coat colors elicit more curiosity than others. Tortoiseshell cats attract attention wherever they go.
Standard torties have a mix of orange and black fur, either finely interspersed (a brindle tortie), in big splodges (a patchwork tortie), or somewhere in between (just a tortoiseshell tortie!) Dilute tortie cats have a tortoiseshell coat pattern with one remarkable difference: instead of the striking, dark mix of orange and black, dilute tortoiseshell cats have a muted, almost blue and yellow color.

From FastCompany:
These are some images from the book Soldier Dogs: The Four-Legged Heros of Iraq and Afghanistan and a quote:
Military Working Dogs play a crucial part in America’s armed services. The best known “Soldier Dog,” Cairo, put crucial canine skills to work in the SEAL Team Six operation that killed Osama Bin Laden. Other Military Working Dogs serve as everything from bomb sniffers to troop companions to search and rescue dogs (and also serve in darker roles, such as duty at Guantanamo Bay). Their handlers and trainers, devoted dog lovers down to a man, form an unusually close-knit fraternity within the military.

We got a Bark Box from Peanut and tons of toys from Mom. Kitties got lots of feathery stick things. We gave Mom extra barks, licks, and cuddles. Happy clean up day.

Today is Memorial Day in the United States of America.
I repost this story every year, because soldier dogs are truly amazing heros.
These are some of my favorite images from the new book Soldier Dogs. There are more pictures in our slideshow today.

Hi. Typing on my smartphone. Service down since Sunday. Maybe fixed tomorrow. No phone, TV, or computer. Oh my! Everyone has to actually read books. How cruel!
