It's been a long, hard winter. Many of us under the weather or beset by the weather. Feeling blue. Disappointed. Out of work. Out of sorts. Grumpy. Angry. Alone. We could use a little inspiration. A smile or two. Doggone-it, enough with the cat-fights, we need some comfort!
It's time for the healing powers of animal magnetism. And love.
Our animals love us without reservation. They don't care about our income, job title, politics, religion, relationship status or appearance. And they often have the uncanny ability to mirror exactly how we feel.
So I invited some animal friends for Show and Tell. I bet you can relate. Draw some comfort, a few giggles, a soft awww, a tiny bit of perspective.
And I'd love to know: Which one are you?
Overworked and fed up...
Or facing huge challenges...
Mad as hell and not gonna take it any more...
Or just plain exhausted...
Really could use a hug...
Or help from a higher power...
Feeling sad (guilty?)...
Or in need of guilty pleasures...
Craving some warmth...
Or, well, more personal comfort...
Need private time with that special someone...
Want to hang out with the chicks...
Or, hey, just want to chill...
Though even the coolest do dumb things...
And still laugh all the way to the bank...
"I've got tiger blood."
Let's remember, the rest of us are all in this together...
Most important, our differences aren't so great...
And Spring is just around the corner.
So let's get back to work!

Roger, ouch. And ha!
Linda, there's no way you're dumb like Charlie. If I could have found a sexy cat with attitude, that would be you.
Holly, so glad you enjoyed, hope Keith got a laugh too. Nice to be missed... I've missed you too.
Nikki, not my usual thing, but we all need a little awww occasionally, just for balance. I'm a cat person, but that sad/guilty puppy just melts my heart.
It's a gloomy day, this was good, thanks Sally.
mginmn, leave it to our animal friends to give us some joy and peace.
l'Heure, I'm the chick with the skinny legs.
Robin, I'm on my way on little cat's feet. heh
Lezlie, I hope you stay a super cool bunny through Easter.
Just Thinking, I hope more folks will derive a little pleasure from this all weekend... who couldn't use an awwww these days?

Gabby, I mistook ducklings for chicks? Seriously? Please don't tell PETA. It was just an honest mistake.
Lunchlady, always happy to be here.
Satori, please give us your captions. I had some in my head but decided to go the "there, there" route.
Lady, you're right, in the light of day, it's Cute Overshare.
Kellylark, you always make me feel better, even when I'm trying to do the same for others.
Lea, I seriously considered borrowing that perfect shot of Sweetie at the Thanksgiving table.
ksal, from what I can gather, it was literally a serendipitous pic snapped by a local cop... was in a FL newspaper.
fernsy, I needed an epic challenge requiring more right brain than left (or is it the other way around?)
nerd cred, none of these came from lolcats because they usually have their own captions, but a lot of duplicates floating around. Our 18 yr old Calico doesn't care much for my computer, is old fashioned enough to prefer lying down on any newspaper my hub's trying to read.
Trilby, our cat prays like the one shown here, usually when I'm cooking. Still, it's a little odd because we Jews pray bent over...
lschmoopie, if I can manage a post as cute as your name, I've got it made. :)
