Yeah, I know you came here to read about cats, namely me, but sometimes a little excursion from the routine is healthy. And what better time than in these dog days of August to recognize that other species that humans love to love.
As you probably can guess, I’m not a dog-lover. But this photo that Mama C shared of one of her friends’ dogs melted even my jaded feline heart.
That’s Mazie, a one-year-old Shar Pei, enjoying her birthday pretzel last week. Besides being hopelessly adorable, Mazie is in the running to adorn next year’s Providence Animal Rescue League calendar. Looks like Mazie is in the lead to win the coveted cover spot, although if I were her I’d keep my guard up around that feisty-looking feline contestant in second place, Obi.
Voting continues through tomorrow, but I’m pretty sure that 2022 will be the Year of Mazie.

Dear Mr. Oxbow,
That is so kind and generous of you to share the spotlight with Maizie. I love the way she is holding the pretzel….so carefully and tenderly. I’m sorry that you are unable to eat those hard crunchy pretzels. It would be pretty darn tough for ‘ya! I know however that your Mamas provide excellent nourishment for their favorite feline. Don’t forget…we now are moving away from competition and into collaboration with others. You are ahead of your time in sharing your spotlight. I always knew you were a cut above the rest!
