Remembering "Old Faithful"

Old Faithful is a tribute to the rescue canines of 9/11 who located human remains at Ground Zero. The dogs helped bring closure to the families with their great sense of smell and are always faithful to the end.

The regal dog is painted as an the 'old faithful' American flag. The bright background colors are a symbol of hope.

Snickers and Tabby






I've been feeding Snickers and Tabby (our neighbors kitty cats) this week. The "boys" and I have been having a wonderful time getting to know each other. Our time together has been filled with fun, food and art. Yes, the kitties inspired me to bring some cardboard over and created these signs to welcome their guardians home. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
