Hey, is this Larry really a friend of the KING? Wow.
Well, today, with a new king stepping up to the plate, amidst a bit of wariness from his subjects about what he will do in his new job, I think we have to tell the story of a kitty who should never have been underestimated. And if you need a job done with, say, rats or rodents, it is always wise to hire a kitty, such as Larry the Downing Street kitty.
(More on kitties and rodents next week,..)
Maybe today’s spark might be that you never know what anyone is capable of when facing a difficult and perhaps insurmountable situation. We have all heard stories about anthros who have lifted cars off of injured pedestrians or moved some amazingly huge object to save a tiny animal or child…you just never know.
Having faith in a positive outcome is a good start for solving a problem.
And when Larry was hired, he also stood up to the plate…er…rat.
Sending good will to King Charles (and no rats in his palace) on this special day. You never know what someone might be capable of.
Carry on, King Charles. We loved your coronation!! Mama had never seen one and she was entranced by the lovely six horses pulling your (air-conditioned!) carriage….what a life.
His reign may not be decades but he loves art and music, has many charities and projects for the needy and Queen Camilla works against the persecution of minorities and more.
I loved the horses, too….I thought at first they were pale blue! But mama didn’t know I had watched the procession or she could have clued me in…of course they weren’t blue, duh.
But it was an exhausting procession…how all of those anthros WALKED it is beyong me.
We watched bits and pieces of the Coronation. Little Prince George was the funniest!
Oui, it was so lovely despite the criticism from some. It was a coronation for goodness sake.
We all watched the Coronation too…it was quite “majestic” (don’t ask me what that means but Mom said it was so I believe her). Anyway, I was glad I wasn’t in the crowd because it rained and I’m not a big fan of WET!
Hugs, Teddy
ME, TOO, Teddy, wet is NOT my preferred state. And those amazing anthros who WALKED for miles without missing a beat. Really majestic is a perfect description.
We are glad you got to see all that had to do with the coronation, LouLou.
We loved seeing Larry in all those pictures! He’s a good fella!
Such a sweetie. Wonder if he was at B Johnson’s wild parties…
We got up early and watched the Coronation too Loulou, it was lots of fun!
Wasn’t it fun? We loved the horses and their ‘hello’to the Queen’s statue.
We had the same thoughts about all the walking on Saturday ! But it was quite a spectacle.
Mama’s question is always, “What if someone has to…?”
The gorses did have pretty blue reins. You are a cutie. XO
Hey, those gorses were the BEST. Beautifully cared for.
Loulou, I watched the entire thing on TV, and it was a very interesting celebration. I especially liked the Baptist singers, the lady with the sword, the military ‘Hip Hip Hurrah’ salute, and the flyovers.
Oh, darn, we missed the flyovers but yes, the woman with the sword in blue, Penny Mordaunt, member of parliamemt. She was said to have ‘stolen the show’carrying that sword the whole time!
