Happy Caturday! Cats, dogs, goats . . . I love them all. I have never outgrown my love for animals. You might say I am a bit of a cat lady. This feline in particular holds a real soft spot in my heart. She is named Phyllis (after Phyllis Diller). She is generally disheveled and can be found at our office door every morning. When she sees my car in the mornings she comes running to greet me. Sometimes she will even accompany me along the canal sending me off on my daily lunchtime walk. Often she can be found napping on the hood of my car. (I think she believes I am her mother/master.)

I am going to hate to leave her when I go to Montana. It's funny how attached we become to our little animal companions, how we assign human qualities to them. They can bring real comfort to us when we need it, and I believe our lives are enriched by their presence. I haven't done many animal paintings, but I thought 'ol Phyllis deserved a place in internet history.
