Be Kind to Animals Week®

We're in the middle of Be Kind to Animals Week® (yes, ®).

I know, it should be 52 weeks out of every year. But, since we're doing a special emphasis on it this week, I suggest looking into the eyes of an animal and recognizing the person who is looking back at you. If it's a cat, give him or her a loving blink at the same time. I can think of no greater kindness than being recognized, accepted, and loved.

The American Humane Association web site has more. These are the people who actually do something to benefit animals, unlike another group that also uses the word "humane" in their name.

On their web site is an interesting sentence: "All animals deserve to be treated humanly". I wonder... did they misspell that last word... or not?
