The Joy of Harboring

Quadrupeds

Each day I grab a cup of coffee, relax on my patio, and observe what God has blessed me with in the way of wildlife filling my surroundings. Birds perched chirping in the trees. An array of creepy crawlers feeling their way through the dew dipped grass, tiny sticks and bits of dry leaves. It''s quietly wonderful. And frequently joining me are 3 domesticated mammals, specifically, 2 cats and a dog, blessings each and every one.

As I sit sipping my morning brew, my imagination begins to whirl. It spins these amazing fables, yarns and sagas featuring my domestics as main characters. Suddenly they don these unique personalities and traits. They Instantly take on lives which extend beyond the dull and ordinary, adventurous by any standard. They have morphed into: Surf Cat, Stubbies, and Rocket Dawg.

These are days, these little escapades serve as my daily devotional, greasing the wheels of imagining the possible.

Praises for Cat Tales:

We love our grandad, because he is like this Big Kahuna of the family. He brings life and vitality into our home. And now, he has created an entire imaginary world for us. Cat Tales is truly artistic genius. Especially when you realize all the pics in these pages were shot using a Samsung Galaxy, which grandma commandeered for 30 bucks a month on a 24 month plan from T-Mobile.

This book is cool and stuff.. It''s like getting sardines on Sunday!

I''m a dog living in a home filled with life, love and mostly happiness. I say mostly because there are those moments... Everybody has them Do to my very special relationship with grandad, he laughs when I use my brothers Brody and JT, like chew toys. Grandma not so much. She bans the practice. And that''s when I just look with that puzzled, stupid, "What?" look it''s kinda my go to meme when I get caught.. Actually, it''s my go to meme toward life, period!
