And what could be more important than holiday wishes? I want to wish everyone on the FML Happy Holidays - Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, a Cool Rule, of Joyful Winter Solstice, or whatever kind of holiday you want to celebrate. All of you, Mommies, Daddies, shelter people, vets (the name Bruce Williams obviously comes to mind) and this guy named Bill Gruber, are wonderful people. To all the furfolk who read the FML - try and be patient with your two-legs when they put those silly Santa hats or reindeer antlers on you and then expect you to hold still for pictures. Humans are like that sometimes. Remember they love you. And have lots of fun with whatever Santa brings you for Christmas! Fang, you've received another early Christmas gift, and that's Life. It's a very precious one, and I hope you can hang on to it for awhile. Enjoy it now. (But the red licorice is kinda neat, too!) I also want to wish Sandee a Merry Christmas. Thank you, Sandee, for wlecoming Al to the Bridge not too long ago. I forgot to mention that he may have met someone else there that he knows. His cagemate Peggy got out of her Mommy's house in April and, as far as we know, was never found. Whether Al is alone or with his buddy, make sure there's a skirt around the Christmas tree for him to play under - though I'm certain it will be *crowded* with all those ferrets under there! And say hi and a Merry Christmas to Skeeter. This list is full of the most wonderful people I've ever met. Paul [Posted in FML issue 3275]
