Popcorn's New Year

Happy New Year everyone! Popcorn here. I spent New Year's Eve hangin' with my mommy and daddy Dan at a bonfire across the street. I was feeling shy so just sat next to my mommy and watched embers fall to the ground from the fire...All the other doggies ran around and played...except Gingi and Sampson...of course...they went home and fell asleep. Elvis the hound gnawed on a moose bone....Daisy the devil dog just wandered around looking completely evil, Little Guy...my favorite one to watch...just stayed around the perimeter of the fire. Diggity was probably the craziest...she was obsessed with the little kitten...who was at one point sitting on daddy Dan's head...and last but certainly not least...Sugar...the new little puglet...snuggled up in miss Quinn's jacket for a little bit. The next day we got to eat moose scraps and go cross country skiing with daddy Dan, mommy, and Quinn. I think I really like my new life. I've started to really bond with everyone. On a sadder note...my very best doggie friend, Cru...the white boxer...is very sick. His kidneys didn't develop properly...so they are not filtering toxins efficiently. I don't know if we will get to play very much anymore...I'm sad 'cause he is my very favorite doggy.

Please send happy thoughts to Cru...and also to my other neighbor dog, Scout. I don't know her very well...but my mommy does. Scout has cancer...hopefully a treatable kind.
