Yesterday was St. Francis Day and many pet blessings occurred throughout the land (our school chaplain decided it best to have people bring in photos of their pets and I applaud her wisdom as there are well over 600 students/staff.)
I was lucky enough to grow up with a menagerie of animals ranging from Shetland ponies the to horned lizard I tried to adopt in our backyard when I was 8. Many cats and dogs have added much joy to my days. Bogart is rolling into the grand age of 15 and continues to bless my days~the occasional hairball aside.

In honor of cats--then you need to watch this. It's hilarious!

As good as the Henri, the cat with ennui.
