The Dog Days of Summer

Well, it must be the two warm days we've had because some of my canine companions are feeling less enthusiastic about walking a thousand miles. Bubbles, pictured here, got wind of the "cat plan" and wants to sign up for that. She'd much rather than nap than walk in the warm weather. Who can blame her? In case you don't know, my cat, Sage, has offered to take a thousand naps for the women of the Congo. (She is still looking for sponsors if anyone is interested.) While Noodle and Henry, are in for the long haul, Cookie Monster and Paddington Bear find the nap idea more appealing. Lily says she would love to help but she has a bad back so just sign her up for the nap thing. She's fascinated with cats and would like to know where the cats will be taking their naps so she can join them. Baxter, her brother, says he can keep going as long as there are squirrels and lizards to chase. Paki, my other cat, says she's willing to do a few extra miles if the dogs can't make it. And so the Journey continues and I am so very content having my four-legged friends by my side.
