Sorry for the short notice. This coming Thursday, July 27th will be the fourth annual, worldwide celebration of what was formerly known as Daisy Day. Yes, it was four years ago that a sick and scared little kitten appeared in the alley behind my house. She was dehydrated, undernourished, was infested with ear mites, and had a very nasty upper respiratory infection...couldn't go 30 seconds without bad sneezes and productive coughs. Well, now she's all healthy and has turned out to be a perfect addition to my little family. I was there to snag her due to a series of fortuitous events, some of which were not so great. Just goes to illustrate the chaotic nature of the universe we live in and how unfit we are to judge the goodness or badness of events sometimes. That said, meeting up with little Daisy could never be seen as anything but purely good.

The holiday and concomitant worldwide celebration (except for North Korea, cuz their leader is an asshole) has been renamed OTIS & DAISY DAY to recognize the very real contributions made by Otis the cat for the past 13 years and to recognize the altruism he showed on the day Daisy needed help.

So...Laissez les bontemps roullez!!!!!!

Gauge is in charge of refreshments and decorations, so you can leave your suggestions here and he'll pick 'em up.

Exercise caution when blowing off fireworks and avoid discharging firearms within the limits of incorporated cities and towns. Drink responsibly, please.

party down,

Bob

ps: I used to attach a picture of the little darling to these announcements, but that's no longer possible. There are some photos on my profile, though. Daisy is the little black one; Otis is the humungous...er...not black one.

Wait...you are saying it's not a paid holiday? That can't be right. What state do you live in?

Is Gauge in charge of the kitty's refreshments or the human refreshments ?

Seriously ... congratulations to Daisy and Otis ! And all my respect to you. May all of you enjoy many more years together. Some one was looking down on Daisy the day you found her, she is very lucky to have you.

In this case, I am able to do both. The kitties will have the finest of cream imported from... from... from the nearest cows. They will have Frosty Paws animal ice cream treats and there will be a wonderful salmon dip that will cater to their little hearts desire.

As far as the humans go... fine, imported wine from... from... from the nearest grapes. There will be caviar and toast points. There will be ice cream cake and cookies and other delights.

A requirement of this festive occasion will be having to wear a hat with something that dangles down to the floor so the guests of honor may play and romp.

Finally, I have made plans for a wonderful fireworks display from... from... from the nearest Chinese guy with fireworks. This will all be set to music from... from... from the closest person with an instrument.

Be there, this event will be history making!

History making indeed! It's my understanding that the fireworks display alone took many minutes of careful preparation and the "closest person with an instrument" may possibly, conceivably, be a well-known artist...maybe even a musician.

Kudos to Gauge !

The wine was superb , the toast points a golden brown and the cavier chilled to perfection. As I sat and sipped my wine, I watched as Otis and Daisy partook of their feline delights. A Single drop of creme glistened on Daisy's little muzzle and Otis lapped it off ever so sweetly.
My hat was decorated with fresh catnip from my garden. Strung from silver thread which Otis and Daisy delighted in playing with.
Just before the fireworks were to go off, DesertRat lightly tucked small pieces of soft cotton in his little angels ears so the noise would not scare them.
After all the celebrations Gauge presented DesertRat and his feline family with a lovely plague, proclaiming today National Otis and Daisy Day. DesertRat got a loud round of applause from the party goers after his touching acceptance speech.

All in all, it could not have been a better time. Job well done !
