What Made You Smile Today?

Best part is the officer making arrangements for a 92-year-old WWII vet to spend time with the animals.

Dave loves his job as an Ontario Provincial Police officer. Known for being an extreme animal lover, Dave received a call one day that was one of the most unusual and thrilling calls ever. A local resident was fostering a lion cub and the adorable cat would be living at her house for a few weeks while it received some special care. Dave was invited to meet the cub, which was a chance he could not resist.

Jim, an animal lover himself, listened in wonder and his eyes lit up. He said he would also love an opportunity to some day meet a lion.

In a touching show of generosity, the facility that owned this cub heard about Jim's dream and they invited Jim to have an experience with their animals. Treated as an honoured guest, Jim spent more than an hour cuddling with lions and tigers. Touched and overwhelmed, Jim left the facility, promising that it was a day he would never forget. True to his word, Jim spoke of that day in his final moments as he passed away peacefully several months later.

Got my car packed with donations. Feels good to do downsize.

I had some "alone" time today. Ran errands by myself, got to spend time at home by myself. Love the family but they are home OFTEN. And since I work from home now I don't get much of a break from my loved ones - so grabbing that quiet time was nice

^^^Is that your new furbaby?

Such a handsome boy. He is so lucky to have such a loving family!

Cute little devil. Hmm, you picked him up on Sunday - he'll be spoiled rotten by end of the week. Me being me and never one for *normal* names, and seeing all the curls on top of his head, would have named him Brillo. Also entertained Mophead but don't think you'd like chasing after him shouting Mopsy.

Not everyone checks this thread so to properly introduce Buddy put his pictures in The Pet Lounge.
