Pinging the APOD list.

Hidden in today's post, the folks at NASA have hidden a cat and a dog. It should not be too hard to find both of them because they are close together.

Nice.

[blueunicorn6]

I tease you a lot, but I do appreciate the photos you post.

[MtnClimber]

Good, you can buy me a cheeseburger some day!

Ghostbusters:
Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes…
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together – mass hysteria.

Those Peaks look like some tough sledding...

Oh my word. That’s absolutely breathtaking.

I need to find some new adjectives to describe such superlative beauty. :-)

I thought by Italian Peaks you meant Sophia Loren in her glory days.

[jimfree]

Amazing. Thank you!

Is the cat wearing a red coat?

Been watching both out my back yard for several weeks now.

Plus, to the East, Mars in the evening and Venus at sunrise.

Is the cat wearing a red coat?

Nope.

My first hint was:

they are close together

My second hint is:

Go to the APOD.NASA link in the post and look at the blue-highlighted links in the Explanation. The NASA people often hide links to cats and dogs in the Explanation.

A cat and a dog sleeping together... Oh my!
