While we were discussing whether or not we should purchase a bunch of Canadian flags to celebrate Canada Day on July 1, being somewhat educated cats, it occurred to us that our American friends might not be so excited about Canada Day since they are focussed on Independence Day! So, Americans, on July 4th wave your flag, put your hand to your heart and sing, meow or woof your national anthem with gusto, enthusiasm and patriotism.

Maxine (one of our people) says that one time she was in the U.S. for a conference and on July 4th the crowd of thousands of people stood to sing “America the Beautiful” amid a spectacle of flag waving, young men rappeling down from the rafters, and all kinds of other things happening, and she got to feeling almost “proud to be American!” Would you believe it — and she’s born, bred and raised Canadian. Go figure!

Enoy. Happy Independence Day!
