Happy 4th!

Have a laid back day, everyone! And if you live in the US, don't forget, for all our problems, this is a pretty dang great place to live! Celebrate the freedoms we enjoy and remember those who sacrificed that we might have them!

And I'll leave you with this little gem, featuring Trudy and Lawrie, from our friend north of the border, Wendy!! Go on over to Wendy's LOL Spot and check out all of the wonderful tributes to the 4th staring many of your friends from the kitteh blogosphere!

Independence for a country is good,

but we all like a shoulder (or butt) to lean on now and then.

Peepthedral! And Lilo Bunny!

OK, so this isn't about our critters... but come this time I love the things people do with (or to) that icon of childhood, Peeps. You may already have seen it on Cute Overload... the Washington Post sponsored a Peep diorama contest.

So, in honor of the day, we'd like to present to you.... the Easter celebration at Washington Peepthedral!


And go have some fun with your blog pals. Check out Alasandra's Easter Celebration. You can join in until midnight, if you're so inclined, or just enjoy the silliness others of us have perpetrated.

I don't usually allow myself to indulge in awards and contests and such, even though they look like fun, simply because I have a hard time just keeping up with posting and reading. But I saw Alasandra's invitation and moments later I passed by a pic of Lilo and a caption just came to me. And I love Easter. Sooooo, abysmal photo editing skills'n'all, here you go...
