The cat now walks back with us circa 9am every morning but we have to go call him in the parking lot of the churchyard.

He seems to be tamed that way. The training of 9 months paid off.

It is a wonderful busy morning starting at 5am today and will go to 10am.

Both dogs slept with me.

I dedicate the vitues of the day, their merit, to the protection from ill health and poverty and war of all in canada and usa.

Om tare tuttare ture svoha

Om tare tuttare ture svoha

Om mani peme hung

UPDATE

Laurel did not come when I was calling with the dogs but I brought the dogs back and went back with treats: he was there. He followed me all the way home. Clever cat: how I love him! Thank you Guru Rinpoche and Buddha amhitabbha for always looking out for our cats, especially Laurel the vagabond.

I had to hush away a neighbours cat who came for hardy's catnip in the yard as hardy was coming home to challenge him: I brought Hardy inside. Om shanti om!
