US: Does Sandy Claws come again tonight?
TBT: No.
US: So why are we still being good?
TBT: Because ChissyMouse Day is only 12 Big Moons away.
US: Oh. AAAACCCKKKKK!
TBT: And because you are good kitties all year.
US: So? We got 11 Big Moons, right?
TBT: And for good foods...
US: ACK!
TBT: I can order more duck and cow and chickie and tuna. Or I can give you basement-sweepings...
US: You mean Sawdust?
TBT: If you are lucky.
US: We are good kitties, yes we are. We love cow and tuna and duck and that stuff!
TBT: And you will have them my friends, all year long. I was making a joke.
US: Dont joke about FOODS!
TBT: Sorry. Never ever fear guys... There will be bacon and ham and steak too.
US: Can we sit on yer warm lap too?
TBT: Always and forever!
US: And play toy toss?
TBT: Every evening, like (almost) always.
US: We think 2018 is going to be our favrit year! Is it sleepy time yet?
TBT: Would you like a fire?
US: Ooh we havent seen one in a long time. Yes.
TBT: Well, let's have nice little one in the fireplace. It is traditional and I actually cleared some space around it today. Then we will all share some shrimpies and curl up together and see the New Year in. And tomorrow we'll start a whole new year together... Another new Spring, and Summer!
And to all our friends, near and far, known and unknown, a Happy New Year full of love, happiness, companionship, and foods and toys and more love...
