This is Rocky, one of our two cats.  He firmly believes our entire existence is to bring him coins.  His favorite days are when we receive our shipments of uncleaned coins.  He loves to sleep with his face in the bin and get dirt everywhere.

This is an example of an ancient mosaic depicting a bear, one of my favorite animals.  I do not know the source of this photo, but would gladly give credit if someone recognizes it.
