Haven Meged is your No. 3 tie-down roper in the World after a Calgary Stampede win came his way. Meged’s performance in Pool B made him the No. 2 cowboy to advance and on Championship Sunday, he would be the only tie-down roper to make a sub 7-second run twice. A 6.9 in the Semifinals moved him to the Final Four where he was 6.7 seconds to win it all.

Leslie Smalygo and her equine partner, Gus, had four straight days of barrel racing at the Calgary Stampede and on Championship Sunday, the duo only got faster. They came into the Semifinals the No. 1 team from Pool C with $18,000 won and their slowest time so far being a 17.14-second run. That would remain their slowest time of the week as they stopped the clock at 16.99 in the Semifinals before laying down a 16.94 in the Final Four.

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.
