The gingham dog and the calico cat . . .

The gingham dog and the calico cat 
Side by side on the table sat; 
T'was half past twelve, and (what do you think!) 
Not one nor t'other had slept a wink!

Actually, our cat and dog get along famously, and aren't likely to tear each other apart like the gingham dog and the calico cat of the nursery rhyme, but this picture made me think of that rhyme.  It is interesting how very nearly the same color R & S are.

WOW - How did I never notice that before? I think your cat must often be outside when we visit. Cool!

I love that poem. I'm glad to have found your blog. I posted at my blog about letter writing and finding pen friends if you're interested....

I think it is so great that they are friends..
Maybe after today, Max and R, will be friends too! Ü
Thanks for the walk!
