Hi FML Family, I haven't written in a while and I just wanted to let everyone know how things are going here. My Mom, Maggie, is so busy with school. She is gone for 2 full days and then sometimes parts of other days. On top of that she just sits and reads a lot. When she isn't looking I like to raid her jar of pretzle sticks. But I don't eat them, I just have fun shoveling them out and onto the floor. She says I have to get used to the new routine because it will only get worse. I leave her messages by the door to let her know how I feel about that!!!! I have a new boyfriend now. Well, I should say I have two boyfriends now. Ollie, a real handsome DEW, has been sick with a cold and Mom kept him in a seperate cage for awhile. Since she felt sorry for him, she decided to let him move in with me and Nicky in our brand new house she got us. It has room for 2 hammocks although all 3 of us sleep in one. Mom calls it the DEW house since we are all the same color. And since Ollie has been getting her special duck soup, I gave her real sad looks so I can get some too! Its so good! Mom says I will eat anything (but pretzles)! I haven't gotten to see my Dad much. I gave him a calender for Christmas so he'd know when to come over but it doesn't seem to work. I read something about a girl kit of his being sick with some kind of cold. I hope it wasn't as bad as Ollie's. But Mom said she is all better now. I am glad, I know I don't want to get no cold. But I do miss riding on his shoulder and him giving me raisins. He has a special way of doing it that I just love. Mom says as soon as she figures out the web page thangy she will put my picture on it so everyone can see. She is kinda slow at those things though. But I love her anyway. BTW, all them sissy ferts from Houston are finally getting used to the snow here. I'm sure glad, I got awfully tired of their complaining. Kisses and Dooks to all, Pookie Bear [Posted in FML issue 1835]
