Gratitude Day 2 - thankful that my idea for a reversible dining chair cover actually worked 😎 Tweaking the pattern a bit...not exactly a “pet” project but one that keeps our dining chairs pet-friendly AND attractive 🐱and, yes, that’s Gracie (one of our many black felines) photobombing... #blackcatsrule #diningchaircover #petfriendlydecor #syracusecats #nycats #catsofny (at Black Cat Dog Designs) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_bCM9YFKhu/?igshid=1iq18nu2afarb

Here’s Brodie, current resident at @ufhashelter - a real sweetheart looking for a great forever home - we’ve been volunteering (along with lots of others!) with dogwalking during the covid-19 shutdown to keep the dogs well-exercised 😎🐶 #shelterdogs #shelterdogsarethebest #shelterdogsofny (at United Friends of Homeless Animals) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_BKb-aF5JM/?igshid=tdkj064duwdp
