Today’s Cat of the Day is Romeo and the first Dog of the Day is Bolt, submitted by Jenny Clymer of Supply Chain. “Romeo (cat) & Bolt (dog) are rescue babies who are living their best lives.”

Tippie, a small cream-colored fluffy dog, sits beside a swimming pool wearing a blue-and-pink patterned two-piece swimsuit.
