You Knew Roo Turned Two, Didn’t You?

The esteemed Sir Roo Longtail celebrated his second birthday on or about June 13, 2023. We freed our little Roogele from the hoosegow on August 5, 2021. He’d been wandering the streets, homeless, hungry, and had been attacked by a ruthless gang of bloodthirsty ticks. Now he’s the tall, dark, and handsome defender of Bunnytown from all things cat, skunk, bird, lizard — Wait! Did Draymond just bite my lizard friend’s tail off? Oh, it’s okay? It can just drop off its tail like that? Whew! Dray, why do you have to be so mean?

BetsyMoo at her most inspirational moment?
BetsyMoo was a cow
Betsy cannot speak just now

BetsyMoo has lost her head
Betsy is what we call dead

Once a well-crafted toy
Made to bring a child joy

Purpose served, sweet BetsyMoo
Was loved to pieces by our Roo

Thankfully, Roo refuses to check out my blog ever since the host/platform changed its name from WordPress to whatever the lightning bolt thing stands for, I forget. Dogs are amazing and incredibly forgiving and I adore them, but truly unconditional love? Nope. Roo should never see this, y’all!

You can’t help but see the moon in his eye now, eh? That’s a golf ball in his mouth, btw. If you could just throw it without him letting go, that’d be great!

Massage along the dotted line, if you would. Thanks.
