<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe started the year pretty sad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But then my buddy Bailey showed up! <\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can tell, we’ve become fast friends.

I almost forgot the best thing ever happened! Our Cat had a hooman puppy!!!!! I have not met her yet but Hank got it from Hattie Mae that there is a new little hooman girl puppy and her name is Birdie! I can’t wait to meet her! I love birds!
