My new 'CAT'

my Feline Friday entry this week feature's my newest
cat, Rocky. isn't he furry and cute?  he's great with kids,
a really good sport, and he's my new friend. 
 
 
I was lucky enough to be involved in the planning of our
school's first Pep Rally for this past Tuesday.  When 
asked several weeks ago if I knew someone "peppy"  ~ the first 'cat' who popped into my mind was Rocky.  I see him several times each summer when my son and I go to Rock Cats Baseball games.  I know someone who is a senior account executive at the RockCats stadium.  I made one phone call... and we were set! 
 
We chose not to tell the kids that Rocky was coming to
the rally...and they went WILD!  It felt so good to be part of that day!!  He did not disappoint.  Not that I for a moment thought he would.  He messed with the principal, pretended to eat her head, and every toy prize he picked up he put in his mouth or stuffed in his pockets, to the delight of all the kids.  The principal had to keep telling him to "stop eating the prizes!!"   
 
He danced the Macarena and played basketball with the kids, too.  It was a great time.

Beau and I are going to see Rocky today, as the stadium is having a Rock Cats Fanfest all day today!  Tours, games, mascots, raffles, food - you name it.  We'll be there!  You never know what my feline entry for NEXT friday might be.  :smile:
