This is Honey. She's a half-blind senior who survived a bear attack while protecting her family and farm. “She protected our chickens and our family," said her mom. "She’s our little savior." Honey has been treated for her injuries and is on the mend. We're awarding her our highest honor, a 15/10

Black-and-white photo of a young light skinned child with curly blonde hair looking at the camera. They appear to be in a professional studio, and they also have a tiny corn cob pipe hanging out of their mouth. They are holding a short haired tabby cat upside down with its head facing the floor, and the cat appears to be in the middle of trying to escape that way.

An incredibly generous follower mailed me this incredible photo of a cat trying to contort itself to safety. No date/info. THANK YOU! ☺️

Someone asked earlier if I have a favorite photo in my collection. I'm not certain but I think it might be this one. The light, her face, the way she's supporting the kitten so lovingly. It's definitely a candidate for the cover of the book I fantasize about creating someday.

This is Colby. He is movin, but more importantly, he is groovin. 13/10 (TT: ty2344583)

Here are my top 10 WORST dogs!

Brothers and Sisters. Postcard from my collection, mailed 1905.

This is Vito. He is pupset that his belly is no longer being rubbed. Has no choice but to unleash his frowniest frown and saddest whine. 13/10 would resume petting immediately (TT: ritapanico)

This is Poppy. She was focusing really hard on her agility course, and then she made it through the hoop and accidentally activated zoomie mode. There's no stopping her now. 13/10 (TT: poppythepittie0)

Black and white photo of a fluffy white cat standing on the inside of a large window in a dark room, so that it is luminously backlit. It looks at the camera and in front of its forepaws is a small rounded object. Because of the way cats are you can imagine the cat’s next action might be to bat the object off of the windowsill.

Luminous! Photo from my collection, no date/info.
