T.G.I.F. !

And thank God it's the 4th of July, to boot!

I'll forgo celebrating a Republican, as I normally do, on Fridays. This is such a special day. Today is a day to join hands with all my fellow Americans of what ever political stripe, and celebrate our once-great country, full of hope that we can soon begin restoring it if we just join together and get started on making the necessary repairs.

As far as politics are concerned today, I'll leave that up to Miss Catherine Ballou.

She loves her George Bush Chew Toy, especially as she makes him squeal as she tosses him up in the air, bites him or crushes him to the floor with her paws.











But Ballou has more nonpartisan fun fetching her Big Dog Bone. The goal for the next few weeks is for her to learn how to play well with others.

Come to think of it, I need to work on that myself. Both Cat Ballou and I are works in progress!

In the meantime, Happy and Safe Fourth, everyone. Please don't start any more fires!
