seeing eye cat......

ok, so the blind dog and the licky-licky cat have forged an unusual relationship......or at least one that lasts as long as it takes them both to follow me up to retrieve the newspaper in the morning before preparing their breakfast feast.....the dog cannot keep up, being blind.....and so the cat appears to allow the dog to nuzzle her back along the way.....which allows him to follow her as she follows me.....and they are as one poised to burst through as i open the front door.......there was a time when that cat would not have given that dog the time of day.....but the cat has stepped up to the challenge of being a member of the family rather than a mere ....a mere what?.......taker-up-of-space........a thankless creature who eats our food and stalks our birds and scratche up the edges of our carpets?.......on this cool fogged-in morning, it warmed my soul to see the cat in a selfless act of kindness.......
