Abby -- WHY????
*****
I was going to post about something totally different , but that was changed when I witnessed a man in front of the federal agency I work for with his car stopped and driver's door opened in the early morning hours near the front entrance to the building. At first all I could see was that he was out the vehicle with the driver's door opened which is a little strange at 5:30 in the morning. Then I saw him use his foot to push something aside. As I drove around his vehicle (which was in the way) I noticed what he was pushing aside was a puppy. I am sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone, but what a dead beat. How could you drop a puppy in the middle of a high traffic area and drive off. The puppy was trying desperately to get back into the vehicle with a monster that was so callously abandoning him. Isn't that the irony of the devotion of animals? I wanted to go and grab the puppy, and I thought what in the world was I going to do with him? I couldn't have brought him into work. Then as I drove around to where the employees park, the man had his vehicle stopped again in the lane leading into the parking lot and someone was getting out of the passenger side door, as I walked into the building I could see this person was walking back to the customer parking area where the puppy had been dropped off. I wasn't able to see if he went back to get the puppy, but I so pray he did.

So, for all of those animals who don't have the luxury of my little angel Abby who is pictured snuggled in her one of her favorite little beds, my heart aches. Why is so easy to abandon a helpless creature on the side of road and have no conscious about that act?

Today stop by and visit all the wonderful animals that have great homes over at Friday's Ark and don't forget to stop by this weekend round up of all the lovely kittys at the Carnival of the Cats being hosted this week by IMAO.

Abby -- WHY????
When I purchased this cat bed, I thought that Abby would want to cozy up into it. Well she did for about 3 days. Then it sat empty for some time, until one day Gracie discovered it and this is where she hangs out a great deal of her day. She just loves it. Imagine my surprise one day to find my Boo girl resting comfortably carefree and snuggled all down in this little blue bed. It is the perfect place for any one of them to get into and find good sunbeams and views.
Grace not happy to have her picture taken.
Playful Grace, getting ready to pounce.
Don't you just love the colors in her fur?
The light from the sun really shows off the warm chocolate tones in her soft downy fur.
Gracie: I heard something.
Gracie: Oooooooooooooo it's a squirrel.

Gracie does not like having her picture taken. Where Abby, Boo and Jinx will tolerate having their pictures snapped and flashes going off, Gracie runs at the sight of the camera. (Ping is a real ham; he loves having his picture taken, I think that is why I get such beautiful pictures of him.)Or if by chance she will stay still long enough, the moment she hears the shutter click she runs off and I usually get a partial cat in the picture frame. We don't know why, but Gracie is fearful. She is fearful of any sudden movement or sound. She is just a little over 6 pounds so she is a small girl and she has very short legs, but when she moves she goes by in a blur. I surmise that whoever had her prior to us shooed her away everytime she came near. She is such a friendly girl and quite loving, I just don't know how some people can be so unkind. It will take a long long time before she loses her fear, but I pray that she will one day. I work with her and she has started to come around. She loves to head bonk, and she enjoys getting up in my lap. But she only stays for brief moments and then she becomes the flash again. Abby torments her; but she is very quick with that left jab, so Abby has gotten slapped a few times. Time will tell if we can slowly pull Gracie from her shell.

Whatcha' doing Boo Boo?
You found something new to put your smells on?
