Monday…again?! Gosh, where the did weekend go? Let’s hope it wasn’t in a wormhole. Here’s a little smile to start out the week with a chuckle.
Today is Indigenous People’s Day (sometimes known as Columbus Day) and is a national holiday in the U.S. We like that name better considering Columbus never actually set foot on U.S. soil. The traveling Italian from Genoa first made landfall in the Western Hemisphere on this date in 1492 on one of the various islands of the Bahamas and then Cuba and Hispaniola, establishing a colony on what is known as Haiti. Today we salute the native people of the Americas.
Live, love, bark! 🐾
Hehe funny cats!
I collected Benji in one of these and for a while he slept on the bottom (top off) part, next to the new bed I bought for him. The carrier is long gone and he now sleeps anywhere he likes :o)
I know lots of dogs and cat use them but I think they’re a tad draconian myself. All my dogs can sleep wherever they want. 😍
Ma wishes i fit in one of those carrier thingies…..I don’t! I likes to make an entrance at the vetties ~ with barks and jumps and barks! BOL!!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
The only ‘real’ way to greet the vet is your way, Ruby! Carriers are for cats and hamsters.
Where DID that weekend get to?!!
And I love that comic strip. I wonder if they say that to themselves? Like . . whoa, these humans are magic. . .
Salud!
I’m convinced my dogs think that way. But then I always have been somewhat deluded. LOL 😆
You and me both! 😉
That’s not what I call it … ~Bear Cat

Love the wormhole cartoon. So true! It must be confusing. Even though Columbus did sail around on his wee boat, we like the idea of honouring the indigenous people instead. In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue….still remember this from school…..many moons later. lol

It always struck me as strange that we were taught Columbus ‘found’ America. He never stepped foot on any US soil and native Indians were here long before he arrived in the hemisphere. That song will be my ear worm for the rest of the afternoon. 🤣
I wish Mommy had a worm hole thingymajig so that I didn’t have to ride in the car. XOX Xena
They aren’t as pleasant as you might think. 😉
I wouldn’t care if it’s a wormhole as long as it brings me home😸Pawkisses for a Happy Columbus Day🐾😽💞
Homeward bound wormholes still work well.
Ody doesn’t fit in my wormhole, so he gets the full experience of the trip to hell and back…
The Knucklehead and Ninja send their sympathies to Ody.
I received a text from my kids (human( this morning telling me “Happy Indigenous People Day” I felt ignorant, had to look it up – didn’t even know it existed. I’ll be better prepared next year LOL
Good on your kids! We’re hoping more states go to that reference. A number of cities have adopted it.
That’s how it works indeed. Too cute.
Have a fabulous day and week, my friend. ♥
Right back atcha!

Happy thanksgiving to you and your mum 🇨🇦🍁
Indigenous? Oh well, now that makes sense. I thought you said “indigent” and were describing my financial condition after a trip to the vet. :snorf:
No one wins with a trip to the vets…except the vet.
Mondays are always better when they are a holiday. Not that it matters to me, since I’m self-employed, either I never get a holiday, or maybe every day is a holiday? 🙂
Like a fool I went to the Post Office to mail a package. Along with about 8 other peeps who thought they were being proactive and clever. 😁 We’ll all be making a return trip tomorrow.
For us retirees, Monday is just another day too. I had forgotten it was a holiday, walking over to the post office. Thank goodness it was a truly gorgeous day. 🙂
Cat logic, you gotta love it.
That cartoon made me snicker out loud. 😆
I’m not indigenous but I am itinerant.
Someone else said that about you. 😇
Oh my gosh, I love that cartoon! I can confirm that the cat carrier and trips to the vet are very closely connected! 😀
Wasn’t that a hoot? 😂
Love it!
Our cars are the wormhole.
Egad…you’re right!
Hahahah
🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬
happy indigenous people day…
👍🏻
We have the same wormhole here. The cats give it the stinkeye!
