Ginny, the dog who is an honorary cat
An eulogy for a great dog called Ginny who died in August this year (at age 17) will be attended by 300 cats. Ginny the dog (Schnauzer-Siberian Husky) was a hero to many cats.
In fact, in 1986 Ginny was named Cat of the Year at the Westchester Cat Show for her bravery in finding and rescuing many cats from danger or death. One of the best-known rescue by Ginny was the time she threw herself against a vertical pipe at a construction site to topple it revealing the kittens trapped inside. Another time she dug through a box full of broken glass, ignoring her own pain, to find an injured cat inside.
The eulogy will be held on 19 November at the The Westchester Cat Show in White Plains, NY (Cat Show on 19-20 November). I will be there in spirit.
Ginny loved cats and cats loved Ginny. What a great dog. May she rest in peace.

Well, Earth vs the Spider was a very interesting film. Kinda like what could have gone wrong with Peter Parker/Spiderman.
I had so many visitors today. Nina's tin-opener Hugh came over and made a lot of noise, but I noticed the jungle in the back was reduced to a lawn (still weed-infested). I also got to sit on his lap during his rest and lunch.
Then Devi and her sister Nicky came over very quickly but left with my human, and then they all returned with some boxes. But not to stay. Then my human did lots of chores.
In the evening Declan and Nell came which was great as I sat on their laps. For dinner, they had beef cheeks slow cooked in red wine with caramelised onions and sage, served with mash potato and sweet potato, and white asparagus and broccolini.
They left as converts to Scissor Sisters (see earlier posts) after listening to the CD and watching the DVD.

Hi Keiser, please thank your human for dinner last night, we loved it. We are listening to the Scissor Sisters CD now.
Declan and Nell - my human said it was a pleasure, and it was I who wanted you to come. Your laps are so much more comfortable to nap on.
Chicky Pooch - perhaps Ginny was a cat in a previous life and never forgot it.
