From my dear friend Susan Toth Lord, from a site she follows. It’s an amazing story—more so for me because this was the philosophy my mother lived and taught me to follow—in a religious sense, this is the embodiment of faith.

Katharine Hepburn’s childhood, in her own words.
“Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus.
Finally, there was only one other family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me.
There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. The way they were dressed, you could tell they didn't have a lot of money, but their clothes were neat and clean.
The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns, animals, and all the acts they would be seeing that night. By their excitement you could sense they had never been to the circus before. It would be a highlight of their lives.
The father and mother were at the head of the pack standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband's hand, looking up at him as if to say, "You're my knight in shining armour." He was smiling and enjoying seeing his family happy.
The ticket lady asked the man how many tickets he wanted? He proudly responded, "I'd like to buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets, so I can take my family to the circus." The ticket lady stated the price.
The man's wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, the man's lip began to quiver. Then he leaned a little closer and asked, "How much did you say?" The ticket lady again stated the price.
The man didn't have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus?
Seeing what was going on, my dad reached into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill, and then dropped it on the ground. (We were not wealthy in any sense of the word!) My father bent down, picked up the $20 bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket."
The man understood what was going on. He wasn't begging for a handout but certainly appreciated the help in a desperate, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation.
He looked straight into my dad's eyes, took my dad's hand in both of his, squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill, and with his lip quivering and a tear streaming down his cheek, he replied; "Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family."
My father and I went back to our car and drove home. The $20 that my dad gave away is what we were going to buy our own tickets with.
Although we didn't get to see the circus that night, we both felt a joy inside us that was far greater than seeing the circus could ever provide.
That day I learnt the value to Give.
The Giver is bigger than the Receiver. If you want to be large, larger than life, learn to Give. Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.
The importance of giving, blessing others can never be over emphasised because there's always joy in giving. Learn to make someone happy by acts of giving.”

National Senior Pet Month is here! Many of you know the special bond between owner and senior fur baby, but I hope others who can afford to care for them will consider adopting an older cat—they are wonderful pets!!

Happy ! This is the 15-year-old senior enchantress known as Halloween, or as her mom, 's Paola Ashe lovingly calls her, Halle. 🎃 Many vets have told her that her mellow, sweet, laid back nature is a true feline masterclass!

What do cat expressions mean?

Researchers recorded hundreds of facial expressions in cats, finding they're not quite as aloof as previously thought.

Ok, so how clumsy do you have to be to trip on a rock and land forehead-first on a cement sidewalk? Oh, but I’m the goof who fell off an 80-100 foot cliff in Dec 2009. What else would I do?

These stainless steel water fountains are more sanitary and easier to clean than the older plastic types. Some also have a “window” on the side to show the water level. Many different types available with 1+ fountain heads.

For all of you struggling with the loss and grief of losing a beloved pet, this is worth watching!

Please join us this Sunday, October 8th for a virtual group session on the topic of Grief & Loss of Animal Companions. The death of an animal family member may often be considered "disenfranchised", or not readily recognized or honored by society. This can leave many mourning guardians feeling isolated and invisible in their grief.

Join me and Cat Camp counselor Stephanie Rodriguez, GCCA-C from Embracing Your Grief and we'll share ideas for rituals and activities to honor and remember your beloved companion animal.

Whether your loss is recent or happened years ago, we hope you'll join us and find support in the company of others making their way. Visit CatCamp.com for tickets. ❤️‍🩹
