Hey Cinder and Smoke! Star ***Burst*** here! Boy, sure good ta hear from ya kids. You guys just make my ribs #*#crack**#^ wit yer antiks. Sounds like yer havin a ~~~heat wave~~~ out there in sunny O-hi-o! Glad yuz finally gotta run round da lake park and are doin better navigatin the wood poles wif the y-thingy. We still gots lottsa white stuff on the soggy ground; no SpRInG here yet, tho we kinda like rollin round in the flakes and gettin all wet and muddy and trakin up the house wit our paw prints Drives mom nuts...The Codster's losin her winter coat with lotsa hunks a white fur chunks flyin round. Sure sign spring's a comin!! The dust suker's stays plugged in 24/7! I run fer the hills when I hear that thing a cumin! Might lose a vital part or sumthin! Sumtimes even Cody gets a good suking. Can't believe all the komotion round here these days. First mom brings home the rat thing from the rescue center. She calls it a guinny piggie. Jeez, what a slug! Just sits and eats and poops all day, far as I kan see. THEN yesterday I kan hear a new voice meowing from hind the bafroom door! Mom soundin all cutsie and cooing it's name. "Oliver. Oh Oliver." Gaggy, yuk! Pleeeeez! Can it be it's another 4 legger takin up room and pushin me down the ladder?? Haven't met up with the critter yet, but he's still here and I think I'm in for more bats on the nose with them sharp hook things. One Kat man in the house was enuf for me. This place is gettin preeee-ty crowded in my opinion! Let ya know how things progress. Sure know I'm gunna be puttin my two cents into this! Mom say we can't do 'puter work for a day or two kuz dad's havin a things put in it so we can store all the pics of our critter friends on a disc thing. Me and mom and Cody love keepin pics a all our pals! Maybe yer dad'll send us all a pic a yuz two! Well, keep up the good work keepin dad back on his heels! Sounds like you guys are becomin best buds. Just knew The Kid was gunna be the perfect addition to yer family! Every pooch needs a pal to run interference. Ain't life grand!? Take care till we be talkin again. Love your fur friends, Star and Cody.
