Hey Star**Shiner** ~ Glad ta see ya back onna pawboard - we sure did miss ya. Sorrie bout the baffs youse hadda have - Smoke an me getz ouut takin baffs kuz we go swimmin often enuff an that keepz the stinkie odors down. What's wiffa hat thingy? Keep the wadder outa yer earbonez or is that a Hallerween kostume?

Mosta the gang is gettin better frum the sickies; ButterBall the Kat gots a sore noggin, Lolly's hoppin round on three legz anna head cone; Hanna got outta the hoppsbittel; ownlee bad newz is about poor Bourbon . His Mom, Miz Diane, said God needed an Angel at the Big Bridge, so Bourbon went up to help out. We're all gonna miss him. Letz all cross paws an say a Prayer ta help his Mom.

Well, we're gettin *hongree*; sorta a regular thing these dayz, whut wiff the big "D" campaign programme. Whut reelee twisted our tailz wuz we hadda ride back fromm pet food store sittin onna bag a krunchies inna backseat . Dad kept checkin ta be sure we dint open her up urlee . Time to head fer the Ranch an unpack the grub into the big can inna klozet.

Stay well or get better; wagg em if ya got wun; wiggle yer buttz if ya don't.
