We dedicate these photographs to all cats, because they are the undisputed Lords of many manors and households, exercising sovereign control over their human staff that they have trained to satisfactorily accommodate them over long periods of time.

Princess Maia Gulgowski-Doliwa.
Only six years old now and already a star; first among equals, destined for many greater successes,
as she will develop and advance during the years to come.

Expert Field Medical Badge that he had earned 44 years ago in Aschaffenburg, Germany,
as a member of the 3rd Medical Battalion of the 3rd MARNE Infantry Division.
Visiting southwestern Florida also allowed us to store up on sunshine and Paradise-like geography as the photographs below will document.
