Inspired by Gratitude IV
~ by Laurel Regan
for the three delightful creatures
who share our home
as part of our family
Felix
fluffy britches and luxuriant tail
solid body, cautious outlook
Oscar
soulful eyes and lionesque ruff
unabashedly affectionate
Mei-Mei
petite, pretty, playful
tentatively learning to trust
thank you
Now it’s your turn!

She’s probably around 6-7 months – she’s a feral rescue, born under our friends’ porch. She’s a cutie!

I am grateful for modern technology that allows me to keep in touch with family near and far through email and texting. I am even more grateful for my smartphone. I’ve had one for three years and it has proven invaluable.

I never thought I would see a day when the cat was my preferred pet, over the dogs, but I imagine, the cat never thought there would come a time when he would rather hang out with me, than the girls at the house.
