We have a white Bichon Frise named Abbie. She and my husband walk morning and evening. For the past year they have had much of the same route. You would think that would get boring, at least for my husband. But the route rarely changes and there is a good reason. A Cat!

You see, our dog has a special cat friend. We did not initiate this relationship. The cat did.

For the last two years (really!) this cat several times a week has waited in front of the Catholic Church for Abbie to walk by. This is amazing because she lives several blocks from the Catholic Church. She comes to the street and greets Abbie and then she actually begins walking beside Abbie and joining them for a short portion of their walk.

We found out that her name is Penelope and she has grown up with dogs as friends. I guess she really likes our little Abbie dog...she is a very reliable friend, but in the winter will sometimes not show up for weeks at a time. My husband suspects that when she does not appear she is doing "mission work" somewhere else in the neighborhood. At first Abby was skittish, but now she welcomes Penelope and does what any dog friend would do! Sniff, Sniff!!

Abundance is... a reliable friend.
