This year started off with Allison and Jimmy traveling a lot!

I tried to stop them but off they went! I don't even know where they went off to!

I think it was Maine, and India, and maybe Istanbul too??

They better not have pet any other cats.

I'm sure they wouldn't do that.

I did get to stay at that nice teahouse.

Oh yeah, that looked really nice! Would you recommend their teas?

For sure! You can try them out too, over at Broken Cup Teahouse.

Yum!

Unfortunately, something really bad happened early in the year. I hurt my leg and had to get surgery!

Yeah, that was a hard time, wasn't it? You were really out of it and doing none of your wiggling or hopping.

Good thing I was around to keep an eye on you and make sure you weren't taking your cone off.

I guess...

But you didn't have to watch me ALL the time!

I am a vigilant cat.

Thanks to my vigilance, you made a full recovery!

Yeah, I've never been better! I'm back to wiggling at max capacity!

You're welcome!

I made my recovery right in time to be a pup of honor at Allison and Jimmy's wedding! Hey, why weren't you there Peach?

Oh you know, I had other plans.

That's a shame! You could have helped me keep Allison's dress flat.

It's okay, I heard there were a lot of pictures of me there already.

But you missed the trip afterwards too, to Acadia National Park! The one where I ran through mud and became Shadow Woody!

That's gross.

I had important things to do at my vacation home, like nap.

And also to keep an eye out for the mail! A very important shipment came for Allison!

Oh, the advanced copies of her book!! Can I preorder that somewhere?

Of course! At your favorite local bookstore, or you can find it online at Bookshop.org, Barnes and Noble, Target, and Amazon!

Yay, I can't wait! I snuck a look and I think we made it into the Acknowledgements!!

Good! I know she's gotten lots of help from everyone, and is grateful for all the love and support her friends and family and pets have shown her.

That's us! And you, dear reader! That's it for our end of year wrap up. We hope you had a wonderful year too, and let's love and support each other into the new year!
