Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2004. We took Mattie to the National Arboretum. Outside the visitor's center is this lovely pond, which features koi. They sell fish food and of course we got some so Mattie could experience seeing these huge fish up close and personal. I don't know if you can see this fish looking at us with his mouth WIDE open. But clearly Mattie was intrigued and wasn't sure whether to get closer or to back away.

Peter and I are interested in three of the MANY cats they are trying to adopt. The way City Dogs/City Kitty works is that the animals are NOT housed in cages waiting to be adopted. Instead both dogs and cats are rescued from kill shelters and placed in local foster homes. These are people who either own pets or are pet-less. They agree to foster these rescues until they are finally adopted in a forever home. What I love about this concept is you are not seeing animals caged and further traumatized. So we are driving to Maryland to the foster home of Hazel the Cat on Sunday. Her foster mom sounds delightful and we will have the opportunity to learn more about Hazel and interact with her.

Vicki,
I love reading about your walks, which often amaze me. The amazement comes from the fact, I have seen all these things from a car and you walk it. I love the pictures. You capture the pure beauty of so many things in Nature, Inam starting to look at things differently. I love that you are going for a cat and a dog to give them a forever home. They will be loved because you have a lot of love to give!!!! What will you name the Kitty! I saved my comment about the puncture of Mattie for last because each picture you post gives me another look into life with Mattie. Each picture is beautiful and they all touch my heart. Margy
