World Animal Day

Today is World Animal day* so I wanted to shoot a picture at a pet asylum, but they don't allow people in the kennels. Nevertheless I got permission to come over and shoot there tomorrow. Guess my Blip tomorrow ;-)

Meet Josephien, my lease dog. She's not mine, but I'm her foster home when her Bosses are away.

Wanna caress her? Press the 'L' key

also wanna see her dance to Fisher Z? Too funny and great on rhythm ;-)

* World Animal Day was started in 1931 at a convention of ecologists in Florence as a way of highlighting the plight of endangered species. October 4 was chosen as World Animal Day as it is the Feast Day of St Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.

Since then, World Animal Day has become a day for remembering and paying tribute to all animals and the people who love and respect them. It's celebrated in different ways in every country, with no regard to nationality, religion, faith or political ideology.
