I took my cat to the vet last week and discovered all the techs and even my vet were wearing the most adorable name tags . “Where did you find these?” I asked, flabbergasted. “Oh, an artist makes them for our clinic.”

My vet had one on with a border collie that had been created from a photograph of her dog. Everyone else was wearing name tags that were made by the same artist, only they were made from some kind of metal, probably pewter. “These are so cool!” I couldn’t stop talking about these name badges. They seemed to bring the whole atmosphere of the clinic up!

I’m one who loves to see the artistic side of everything, and I always go way out of my way to discover art in life. When something as mundane as a name plate gets exalted to art, then you’re talking my language!

I loved the metal ones- they looked really professional and I thought the variety of animals was impressive. They came in one animal on a name badge all the way up to three of them on one plate.

My favorite one was the name badge with paw print , inside a heart design. The paw print has been a favorite symbol of mine for a long time; it seems to represent everyone’s favorite pets- the dog and cat of course.

Speaking of dogs and cats, are you preparing for their care in case economic hard times get harder? Most people don’t even store food away for themselves, let alone their pets. It’s a good idea to do both these things, but since my beloved kitty is on my mind right now, I did prepare with some healthy dry and canned food for her future, just in case.

I’m an optimist and hoping for the best, and an eventual economic turn around. But I call myself an optimistic realist, so also prepare for any eventuality we may have to confront. It’s a lot easier to do when things feel relatively normal than to wait for things to become more difficult.

But since the holidays are close, it’s OK to set aside worries and prepare for a wonderful holiday with family and friends.
