The 2011th thing I learned again in 2023 -- Pets are amazing

Monet the cat
It's the second
anniversary of her
adoption.

That's right folks.  The actual challenge from Howard Wolinksy in 
2018 was about 2018 things I learned in 2018. Remember back
in 2018 -- before COVID? Now it seems like such a magical time,
and in North America we had no idea what was coming. I'll catch up on
the 2000 part by the end of the month Howard.

This is the second anniversary of our adoption of our cat, Monet.
She is a wonderful warm, intelligent cat.  My husband Steven
has his office in the basement.  He comes up to the kitchen for lunch,
and Monet comes up with him.  When he is ready to go back to work, he says
to Monet, "back to work," and Monet runs downstairs and jumps
into her basket on top of the dog's cage, that's in Steven's office.

Our dog Sally will sing Monet a Happy Adoption song tonight, and
our cat Fiona, who is 16 will be jealous, and everyone will get a treat.
Fiona is also wonderful, and has been our cat since she was 9 weeks old.

Here's to the animals!

Have a loving your life day.
