Thankful Thursday

I am beyond thankful today for my sister, MY.

This morning, I poured out my feelings about the swift changes in my life: job, car, Angel's health, and why winter is such a bummer!

She listened, counselled, and gave me a few "You've got this, girl!"

😽💗😽

Also, there are tangible items to be grateful for, because we currently have the means to.

An original painting, purchased at a local store on my lunch break:

I mean, how the heck could I have passed this up?

And, a sweatshirt with Pawfficer Donut's adorable image!

Donut and her handler

Getting a treat, and some love from a little boy

Aww, what a cutie!

I've hoped to meet Pawfficer Donut since January; I posted about it here.

My job is located in the fair city of Troy, Michigan, where Pawfficer Donut has her beat.  Using my lunch hour, I was 3rd in line to pet Donut, snap photos, and yak with several human police officers at a special Pawfficer Donut Meet and Greet Event!.  I even scored some terrific Troy Police Feline Unit swag.

Am I cool or what?!?  Pawfficer Donut and I are besties now!

1. Being in a constant state of anxiety, makes me nervous.

2. I should get rid of about 30,000 photos from my library of 47,500, but I can’t because each one is too special!  You could say I'm a digital photo hoarder.

3. My ideal home would include a courtyard, surrounded on all four sides by the house.  This way, the cats can be outside, in the center garden, but safe!

4. You would not find shoes in my ideal home. One could only walk around in house slippers, and leave shoes/boots at the door.

No Donut

Outside the Troy Police Department, looking for Donut

Last year, the Troy Police Department in Troy, Michigan, announced their newest and cutest recruit in their Feline Unit: Donut.  Pawfficer Donut was a global media sensation, and since I work in the City of Troy, I vowed to visit the kitty when I could.

Yesterday, I screwed up my courage, 'cause, walking into a cop shop makes one queasy, even a law-abiding citizen like me, and stepped into the station lobby.  I asked if Pawfficer Donut was available for an interview, and received a polite turn-down from the desk officer on duty.  Apparently, Donut stays home when not attending impawtant city duties.  I will have to keep track of Donut's next appearance via the city newsletter or website.  The desk officer and I had a wonderful time discussing service animals, especially dogs.

Trust me, my goal is to be nose to whiskers with Pawfficer Donut soon, and will report on the meeting when it happens.  I've discovered a few photos of Donut, plus a video, which are below.
