April 26, Happy Pet Parent Day!

 

 
At our house, we have a Mom and we have an Alex
Nutmeg calls Alex her Dad! 
 

We think she is so lucky to have such a cool Dad who takes her for runs and walks (when he is home). Alex works out of town (alot) and we are so very lucky that for this contract, he is building a Ferry in a city only 2 hours away and he is close enough to come home on the Weekends.  
THIS makes Nutmeg so furrry happy! (She really misses him when he is gone). 
 
 
We wanted to capture a photo of her chasing Alex's One Wheel up the street but did not get a furry good one. SO We made a cartoon of them instead. 
 
 
 Alex is special. I gotta tell you, that even after 9 years after moving here to Canada, I am still a pretty untouchable cat. You don't want to try to pick me up! I turn into Mr TEETH!
 

 
 BUT I do LOVE Alex! Here is a photo of me thinking about jumping onto Alex's lap (he gives the bestest ear scritches) after Nutmeg jumped down.
 

 And here I am IN HIS LAP! 
 
 
YES! Mom was a little jealous!

I hope you all let your Peeps how much you appreciate them today!
 

Oh Yes! Don't forget to go and visit the Cat On My Head for Selfie Sunday!

When is Arbor Day? National Arbor Day in the U.S. is April 24, 2026
Many states choose dates better suited to local planting climates, such as November in Hawaii. 
Here, in the Great White North,  National Tree Day in Canada is celebrated on the Wednesday of National Forest Week in September, and it is focusing on planting, education, and appreciating the role of trees. Some regions, like Alberta, hold specific spring events, but the the national focus is in autumn. It serves as a, day for environmental action, often involving tree planting, education, and community activities 
 
Arbor Day was founded by J. Sterling Morton in 1872 to encourage tree planting for shade, fuel, and beauty, it is typically observed in spring (last Friday in April in the US).
