Happy New Year, my friends! I, your trusty piggy friend am taking out the time this New year's Eve to update my website!

It has been quite a year hasn't it? So many things have happened since last January! There was the Pigelty-Wigelty question, The Captain Teddy Convention, Seymore's Harry Experiments, and Annie and Candy's fight. Then the Iowa bears moved in and things got really wild around here! There was baseball season, and my feud with Andy, Booy being nice, My unfortunate bleach accident, The circus, the Celtic festival, the variety show, Booy poisoned Toady, one cat left and a new one took it's place! My, my, what a year!

Well, I have been busy (as usual) and have made a new webset called Rubber Ducky and a new Web set called Ruby! I have also added NINE new garlands for January, one of which is featured on my home page! It is worth a look! Also, while surfing the web the other day you would not believe what I found! My First Site! That's right, tripod still has my original site on it, i had no idea! I have added the new address to the home page but other than that it is the original, it shows how far I have come!

Christmas has come and gone, and what a Christmas it was! Christmas is always chaotic around here, but this year we had twice the number of bears as usual, so there was paper and empty boxes and Christmas stockings everywhere! I got some very nice presents this year, but my favorite was from Bubbles who gave me a pair of very cool sunglasses (see picture below). I gave Bubbles a board game "Old MacDonald 2" and I also made him some special ornaments that he could share with his Mommy (see picture), and I made The-Short-One a set, too.

Bubbles and I had two Christmases on Christmas day! First we got up before Charlie and The-Short-One and we all had our first Christmas. Then Bubbles and I went to Buffalo to see Bubbles's Mommy, and that is where Bubbles opened up his ornaments since he is sharing them with his mommy. All-in-all we had a very great Christmas this year, and I am sad that it is over already, but there will be one next year.

The alien Nermal is still here and still being bad. Charlie and The-Short-One are supposed to take the Christmas tree down soon and they had better do it or there won't be any ornaments left! Now that most of the presents are gone form under the tree she is climbing it and playing with the bulbs. She chewed on the cowgirl ornament 9which is really an antenna topper from Wal-Mart made into an ornament) and has broken a couple of the bulbs that The-Short-One made this year. I say we just throw her out the door!

By the way, The-Short-One actually bought the "Return of the King Special Edition". We are going to watch it tonight, and Saturday we are planning on having a 12-hour marathon and watching all three movies back to back - oh boy! i have been waiting three years for this!

Incidentally, the Christmas Concert was not a disaster, but it was just as strange as the variety show. The Harrys made up a Christmas Carol that involved throwing "ice cream snowballs" at several audience members! I would not have let the Harrys in the show, they managed to NOT ruin my variety show, so everyone should have known something evil was coming in this show! Other than that it was alright, Annie, Candy and Betsy sang "Silent Night", and Perry and bully did "Felis Navidad". There were a lot of others but i don't remember them all now.

There has still been no snow; in fact it has been in the 60's the last few days. I like warm weather as much as anyone, but I would like to go sledding this year while Bubbles is still living with us. There is talk that he and the Iowa bears may be leaving in February or so. It has something to do with the-Short-One's mommy waiting for a settlement or some such thing.

We are having a new year's party tonight and watching the DVD, as I said. Doggie and Co have been making party food all day, they are currently sticking colored toothpicks in weenie winks. We will also have the left over Christmas candy and of course the last of the eggnog. We had eggnog imported from Iowa this year so we could get Anderson Erickson as it is the best brand and we can't buy it here, The-Short-one's daddy brought it with him!

Well, I am going to go now so I can upload this and enjoy the party.

Happy new Year!

This is the Harry's act.

These are the ornamets I made for Bubbles out of Sculpy - I used real cookie cutters!
