First of all, let me apologize for being AWOL. I have had a ton of work, and I find it really hard to keep up with all the new goings on around here. I pop in and check things out when I can but I know I'm not very reliable right now. I hope that will change shortly.

Yesterday would have been Dakota's 3rd ampuversary, which means that the last remaining February Furball celebrates his today. That's right! Bud from Wyoming has been hopping along for 3 years now. And because Bud does not have cancer, we don't have to hold our breath for him. Such a relief!

Bud's family live 4 hours from me, so when I made plans to attend a conference in their town last month, his momma Angel asked me to stay with them. I spent 2 nights with his pack (his dad was out of town) and found out that his crazy sister Daisy isn't really crazy or bad. She's just misunderstood.  And his human kids are really delightful. I mean really. I like kids, but these two are special. They do what they're told!

So again, the happiest of days to my good friend Bud! May your face get grayer, may you have many years left, may the sun always shine warm on your sweet soul.

And here I am helping Daisy and Bud check their email.
