It’s the second of August. It feels like we’re still in the midst of summer. And yet, The Summer Giveaway Event ends this coming Saturday, which just seems weird. Summer’s not OVER, but we’re already making way for FALL! OTOH, school starts this week around here, and that’s weird as well.
Today’s cat picture is of Tuna looking over George’s shoulder. The boys are buds, they hang out together a lot. Which really means that George goes off by himself and Tuna hunts him down because Tuna really, really needs someone to cuddle with. He’s just that way. Or whatever way his face is trying to express in this picture. He’s clearly not thrilled about something – but he’s adorable at it just the same.

Adorable picture of Tuna & George. We’ve got one week before school starts. It feels to early for the kiddo to go back to school. Have a great week!
