Lake Superior had a light layer of sea smoke on it this morning, and that made for an interesting mood in my photos from sunrise. Here's one of the photos.

I love dogs

TL;DR: A huge, long-haired Maine Coon cat sits front-and-center, staring directly at the camera with an intense, lion-like expression and massive fluffy paws. Details: A very large, long-haired Maine Coon cat sits facing the camera, occupying most of the frame. His fur is thick and dramatic, with a full, cascading mane around his neck and chest that gives him a regal, almost mythic presence. His coat is a mix of silvery gray, charcoal, and soft white, with darker tabby markings along his face and shoulders. His ears are tall and tufted at the tips, angled outward like a lynx. He’s looking directly at the viewer with narrowed, golden-brown eyes and a serious, almost judgmental expression, mouth slightly parted as if mid-grunt or mid-meow. His front legs are huge and heavily furred, with big tufted paws resting squarely in front of him. He’s positioned indoors in a living space. Behind him are warm wooden cabinets, an oven, a floor-to-ceiling cat tower, and a hallway lit by a bright lamp that casts a soft glow around one side of his head. The overall lighting is moody and low, which makes his silvery fur stand out sharply against the darker background. The vibe is “majestic house panther who owns the lease, the deed, and the WiFi password.”

Frederick couldn’t wait til #Caturday to tell you “Have a good day.. or else.”

If anyone ever tells you “it’s me or the dog/cat/other nonverbal beloved family member” the right response is “I’ll help you pack.”

Penny decided to celebrate Adopt a Shelter Pet day by being a butthead and trying to eat my pants. She knows she is adored and will never ever go back to the shelter!

This square montage shows two photos of five caged cats (top) and five caged dogs (bottom) in shelters, awaiting adoption. The words across the middle say, “ANIMALS NEED HOMES.” At the top left, above the photo of the cats, it says, “Photo by Joe Warner for the Courier-Post of South New Jersey.” At lower right, below the photo of the dogs, it says, “Photo courtesy of Four Paws in the UK.”

On a white square, nine other squares alternate stylized drawings of dogs and cats in cages and reasons to, as the headline says, “Adopt a Shelter Pet.” The reasons they give are: “Adopting shelter pets saves the lives of millions of pets needlessly euthanized due to overpopulation caused by breeders and puppy mills. Shelter pets are clean and healthy when they go home with you. They are just like normal pets, and have a lot of love to share with you! Abused and neglected animals need the love and care of compassionate pet owners the most. Caring for an abandoned pet is very fulfilling. Rescuing a shelter pet demonstrates a valuable lesson to teach children about compassion towards animals and the less fortunate.” At the bottom it reads, “Contact your local animal shelter today to learn more about adopting a shelter pet and changing an animal’s life for the better.” Image from “DVM Multimedia, Dynamic Veterinary Marketing, www.DVMMultimedia.com.” Sourced via the Walnut Creek (California) Veterinary Hospital’s website.

Today is “Celebrate #ShelterPets” Day! When you’re looking for a #pet, check your local #shelter or #breed #rescue group first! Make #adoption your primary option! Shelters need adopters for wonderful pets who need a new chance to thrive!
