Stories go a long way from start to (hopefully) finish.
Mom’s first book went from this…

December 12 is my Gotcha Day. You can read my Gotcha story here . We celebrated with ice cream. Mom made me a doggie yogurt ice cream pop with a cookie handle.
I went from this…

Change is good.

It’s not always easy (and sometimes it leaves bite marks in your sandals or paper in your trash bin) but the results are well worth the effort. Happy gotcha day!
Thanks, W and E. There’s PLENTY of trash paper around here!

Happy, happy Gotcha Day, Cupcake and Mom! That first pic of you is really affecting! Your mom is a great magician that she conjured those smiles out from you!
To celebrate, I go back to your swing video!
Thanks, K. I am long overdue for a ride on the baby swing again. Winter….Ugh!
Love and licks,
C
I think you need – and deserve! – a heated baby swing! Pleasing warmth gives extra inspiration. Thus, you could lick with your nice warm tongue your mom’s frozen hands!
Yes, K. This is a plan!
Wishing you a slightly belated Gotcha Day, Cupcake. Such sweetness!
Thanks, Miss HL. I’m all about the sweetness.
Love and licks,
C
