It was around 6:30 in the morning and Dukee was quietly laying on Mia’s blanket that is on top of her litter box cabinet by the window. He watched as one of the neighbors walked his dog down the street. Then, he noticed a rather large rabbit across the street near the woods.
“Wow, that bunny looks as big as me,” Dukee said.
“What did you say?” Mia walked into the front living room.
Dukee glanced back at Mia, “oh, hi. I said that bunny over there is as big as me.”
Mia jumped up onto the kitty tower and then stepped onto the blanket, “what bunny?”
“Over there by the woods,” Dukee said.
“Oh yeah, that is a big one. I think I might have seen that one before,” Mia laid down.
Dukee and Mia watched the brown rabbit as it nibbled on the green grass. After a few minutes, the rabbit hopped along the woods and stopped again to nibble. But after a few more minutes the rabbit then hopped into the woods. So, Mia looked down the street past the house while Dukee watched the big crow flying around in the sky.
“What is pride?” Mia asked.
“A pride? Well, that’s what a group of lions is called,” Dukee said.
“No not a pride, just pride,” Mia looked at Dukee.
“Oh, Pride… Well, it means that you are especially satisfied with something or someone. But if you are talking about the celebration of Pride like the sign behind us says and the dangly things up there. It’s where some people come together to celebrate who they are and what they stand for,” Dukee explained.
“Oh, so like birthdays and Christmas,” Mia looked back out the window.
“Yes, I guess so. Humans like to celebrate a lot of things. I guess it’s part of enjoying their life,” Dukee said.
“Well, whatever makes our humans happy makes me happy,” Mia said and licked her front right paw.
“Yep, we should be happy and proud of who we are. Even if we are cats that eat a lot, sleep off and on all day, and expect our humans to take care of our poo for us,” Dukee snickered.
“Yeah, we do have our humans in the palm of our paws, don’t we?” Mia giggled.
While Mia and Dukee enjoy their week, they hope that you all enjoy yours the best that you can. They would like for you to be thankful for all that you have, and feel good about all that you have achieved so far in life.
Until next time, thank you for reading, The Day With Dukee And Mia.
