Hey Holly and Purrkins ๐ฑ๐ท
Thank you so much for the well wishes, 9 ampuversaries apparently are quite impressive, so Mom says ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Loved your cute ballons with paw prints on ๐พ๐๐
Well, Mom didn't give me another pancake but I had some steak tonight ย which was just yummy ๐
Whatever is worrying Mom is certainly not worrying me, my life is just perfect ๐๐ผand I couldn't be happier ๐๐ฎ

Kisses and hugs from Mom and lots of ear scratches your cutie ๐๐๐โค๐ป

Hey Kat and Astro ๐ถ๐
Know what?ย
There's always room for another Dane in my bed and I am more than happy to share my penguins ๐ง๐ง๐ง and my meals ๐ดwith a gorgeous boy like your lovely self.ย
And you could take me for a stroll around the moon ๐ ๐ Astro ๐ฉ๐พโ๐๐ถ
I'm sure our Moms would get on beautifully and together would come up with exciting things for us to do too ๐ฉโโค๏ธโ๐ฉ
Why don't you drop me a line ๐ and pick me up ๐ one of these days so we can play together ?ย
Lots of hugs from Mom and lots and lots of slobber from one Dane to another ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐พ

No imlosition here... ๐จโ๐ป
If only we could, we would limit the number of connections caused by so many resources being called...but we digress.
As far as emojis on a tavlet go, consult the emojipedia. (Yes, there is such a thing.) If in doubt, copy and paste... ๐โโ๏ธ
