I hope everyone’s having a wonderful holiday. I say this every year and it continues to hold true – you guys are the best, and I appreciate you so very much. Thank you for coming back here to read and comment or lurk – and for some of you (a lot of you at this point!) for adopting kittens from us. It’s been a great, kind of crazy, and sometimes sad year, and I hope 2019 is a little calmer (but not TOO calm) with no losses for any of us.
I’d most likely keep this blog going even if no one was reading, but you guys make it so much better, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Festivus – whatever holiday you celebrate (or don’t) I hope you are warm, happy, safe, and well-fed.

This year’s cover boy for the holiday card was…

“Dewey hear what I hear?” We hope you have a warm, safe, happy holiday season and a wonderful 2019 with no terrible puns involved.
Dewey! Since he’s been a brat and avoids the camera, I had to totally photoshop (well, PicMonkey) the picture. I think it came out kind of cute, if I’m allowed to say that.
I hope everyone who wanted a card received theirs. I sent the last batch out on Saturday morning, so if you haven’t received yours yet, it’s on the way.
I’ve scanned every card I’ve received so far – you can see the album over at Flickr, or scroll through them below. I will, of course, add any more that I receive as I get them.
