I never would have expected to adopt a cat with special needs, but Cisco has shown us that every cat is worth getting to know and has their own unique qualities.

They (animals) are not just living things, they are beings with lives...next time you are outside...notice the first bird you see...you are beholding a unique individual with personality traits, an emotional profile and a library of knowledge built on experience...what you are witnessing is not just biology, but a biography. - Jonathan Balcombe

Don't wait for things to get easier, simpler, better. Life will always be complicated. Learn to be happy right now. Otherwise, you'll run out of time.

                             Di Riseborough

A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not. - Ernest Hemingway

You are worth looking after today. Please don't dwell on painful things while you're already feeling down.

Friends forever, wherever, whenever.

Feeling worthless is just a sign of depression, it's not the truth. You are important, and you are wanted.

                            The Latest Kate

On your good days, write down your reasons to keep on fighting. Then on your bad days, read over your list to give you strength.

Hope lives here. Depression is just a visitor.

The following photos are ones that I took on July 31st with my cellphone. They are all photos taken in Westmount Park. You can click on each image to see a larger view.

A bilingual sign telling people to respect the wildlife. "Respectez la faune", "Respect the wildlife" It's important to note as well that the light at the top of this pole is an old one, which you pretty much no longer see on the streets of Montreal. There are newer models now.

These next two photos are of some sleeping ducks.

This last photo is of the Westmount Library...side entrance. The Westmount Library is right beside the Westmount Greenhouse.

The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) Enjoy! 

This Mother Hen talks to her eggs - and they chirp back! (BBC Earth)

This last video is from a movie entitled Antshillvania. I actually saw this video a few decades ago, it is quite entertaining for both young and old! :) This video is the Intro for this movie, Antshillvania! A catchy tune. Enjoy! 

Next post will be on Monday. I post on Mondays and Thursdays.
