Hi all Sorry for my being absent for a couple of days and da lateness of these messages. My hooman waz out of town for da holidays and waz loafing and eating entirely to much. They should have been taking care of what they had to do here and getting my messages out. Lazy hooman. A little guy named Slinky came in today. He waz met by Gizmo and Sandy. They were happy to see each other and greeted each other warmly with hugs and rolling around. Then they sat down for da important stuff of finding out what had been going on. They got all caught up on da gossip and news. After dat they had to stop by da Fruit Bar and have a large snack. Then it waz off to explore and see all da sights and attractions. They then headed off to da Sock Steal Game to steal a bunch of socks to fill hiz room in da den. With da three of them working they made quite a haul and carried them back to da den for safe keeping. He should be real comfortable sleeping there. They then headed over to da Reflecting Pool to see da holiday festivities. He said to send lots of luv and hugs and kisses to hiz mommy. I looked up Banjo and Pepe in da puter thingy. They were over at da Tube Races watching and enjoying themselves. I sat down to talk to them for a while and gave them your message. They said dat they missed you too. They said they were doing well here and were well taken care of even though there were not many hoomans here. They said they were just killing time til you got here. They said to send lots of luv and kisses your way. I am off to da Tube Park to run da tubes for practice. Pepe and Banjo invited me to practice with them and maybe I can pick up a few pointers. Gotto go. Bye BYe Sandee [Posted in FML issue 3644]
