Everyone knows who Koko the gorilla that speaks sign language is. For her birthday one year, she signed to her teacher that she wanted a kitten. Koko's teacher wasn't surprised, as Koko's two favorite books were about cats. They adopted one from an abandoned litter and Koko showed it tender care and gentleness.

Thanks to Don for sending me an email filled with wonderful pictures of unusual animal friends.  Had to share this one.  On this last day of March I hope your day, your month, and your winter goes out like a lamb, but also, hoping we can all learn from the gorilla and show tenderness and caring to all as we move through our day.
