Happy Valentines Day!

This is my second Valentines Day!
YIPPEE!

Tigger (the cat) - he's been around - he's kind of old.
About 16 cat years I think!
And I know I terrorize him! But he is FINALLY
starting to like me, after 16 months of living together!
I LOVE TIGGER! -Tigger is about
laying around and sleeping! I have energy!
And run, run, run!

today believe the subject deserves more attention.

Their loyalty is unconditional --
much like that between a parent and child,

So, are those "puppy dog eyes" signaling true
love or a manipulation to get dog biscuits out of you?

What do you think???

    I like the pic of the two - they match!!
