That is a very nice retrospective. Since I am still new to the Cat Blogosphere, it helped me to know you better.

My mom says she hopes 2009 is a lot better than 2008 has been.

Cory said...

Wow! We didn't meet you until October or so...and we had no idea that Diamond is in the Mutts Shelter stories book! We LOVE Mutts! We even have a little pink sock (Jonesie plays with it, but I prefer large boot socks). That was a great retrospective. Have a fabulous 2009!

There sure was a lot that happened this year. It was a good opportunity to have a look in your archives, since we haven't been blogging for that long.

Happy New Year to your wonderful family!:)
