What a poignant photo for this bittersweet Fourth of July. Andie, you look so sad . . . do I detect a tear, maybe in honor of those among us who lost loved ones on 9/11? Thank you for your feline sensitivity . . . your beautiful, expressive face says it all, and that paw touching our flag . . . I understand how you feel, and you have also touched my heart.

Hope you will enjoy your day in the limelight and maybe your humans will let you strut in a parade, or be on a float with the breeze blowing since you like that so much. Congratulations, gorgeous Andie!
