THE SPECIAL MONTH of JUNE

Today we begin a special month ~ with some special days, and events.  Later this month, Zoolatry will celebrate a "blogoversary" ~ 8 years of blogging!  Seems hard to believe, and sometime soon among the days ahead, our 3000th posting will arrive as well.  Life sure has changed for us over the past 8 years and there have been many times we've been very close to ending these blogging days.  Though I must admit, I'm glad that day has not yet come.  So, join us throughout the month, it'll be somewhat of a retrospective, rambling through the years, but stopping to celebrate special days and events of this June.  Glad to have you here!  If you weren't here, we wouldn't be!

LESSONS IN PHOTO-BOMBING
FROM A PHOTO-BOMB EXPERT ~ ZOEY
Hi ~ I am the Zoolatry Human's third grandchild (and 2nd grandson), and when I was this age, I lived with the ZH and Poppy Vic in Florida when my Mom and Dad went to work each day.  Now I am a bigger boy (like age 5 1/2) and the Zoolatry Human lives with me, in Maryland!  Funny how life works out, mmm!  Of course, long ago ~ that meant I also lived with Maggy and Zoey, the Zoolatry Girls, the CATS!  We had an OK relationship you could say.  Maggy just stayed in whatever room I was NOT in.  OK with her.  OK with me.  Zoey, on the other paw, was wherever I was.  And being proud grandparents, ZH and Poppy were always wanting to take my picture ~ and Zoey got reallyreally good at being in the picture, too ... see for yourself.  I mean, that cat can photo-bomb!  Need lessons ... call her!  She still does it!  Fur sure.
 She'd even photo-bomb me and my Poppy Vic when we was enjoying our time together!

  4. Yes, Zoey was good at photo-bombing. We still remember when Marcus was young, how most every picture Jan took had him in it, even if it was only his ears. He was a ham!

  8. TBT here... I know the feeling of sometimes stopping the blogging. I'm glad I haven't and I'm glad you haven't. The cats and I have loved you over the years, and we would miss you.

    I've considered stopping a couple of times over the years. But then there is just one more cat ic to show or some thought to offer, and I get the desire back. I hope you continue to feel that interest.

    But if there comes a day when the joy is no longer there, when it starts to feel like an obligation, well that happens. It is time to change the daily habits and try something new. IF that day comes (and we hope it won't) we will understand.

    The best poets and writers and artists come to a point where they decide they have said all they want to say and change their lives. To turn to gardening, politics, or something new.

    I know you have changed your cat-blogging focus once or even twice. Whatever the future brings for you, we love you.

    And we look forward to the whole June bloggings...
