MaggieMoose: Hug A Cat Day? Meow

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat."



  Today on social media our feline friends told us that it's Hug A Cat Day. What the cat? True story. Well, we don't have any cats in our house thanks to the human siblings being allergic to them. Bah humbug and all that, but love the humans anyway. It's OK, we put a fictionalized cat in our new kid's book called MaggieMooseTracks®© Making Friends. Flint is a feral cat. He rocks. We introduce him in Chapter 2. Cats are mysterious creatures. We think they like it that way. Flint the cat has more tricks up his paws than his friend Maggie, the puppy with moose antlers, can imagine. We think the whole cat mystic is really a color that cats wear, like in The Emperor's New Clothes, it's invisible. So, if you find a cat or have a cat it's HUG TIME! Does anyone know if there's Hug A Dog Day? Maggie is twig & tennis ball ready for that hug! WOOF WOOF

Pawsing For Poetry

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words." 

Autumn Leaves

  Maggie loves to be read to. She watches, she listens, and she enjoys. Walking in the autumn mornings and finding such beautiful leaves reminds us of some very nice poems. We enjoy listening to the rhythmical creation of beauty in words when the nights get cold & dark. 
Enjoy!

"Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze."
Emily Dickinson

"The one red leaf, the last of its clan,
That dances as often as dance it can,
Hanging so light, and hanging so high,
On the topmost twig that looks up at the sky."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band."
George Cooper
