WHADDYA MEAN DON'T EAT WITH MY MOUTH FULL? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN, SERIOUSLY?

WE ARE WORKING ON OUR "FAMILY PORTRAITS"

STUPIS WITHOUT BREAKFAST AND COFFEE SCREWS UP MY BLOG!

Dear Friends,

It's your friend, YumYum, and I am not including a photograph of myself because it would not be me
at my handsomest...mom has gotten online this morning, before breakfast, and done quite a bit of
damage, not only to my blog but also to our beloved MOD Blog: Friends for Life, where she seemed
to install something meant for our blog and, in deleting it, also deleted a post by another MOD!


Good for you mom: The MODS don't call you "STUPIS" for nothing, do they?!


EAT BREAKFAST AND GET OFFLINE ALREADY!


STAT!


love,
YumYum

LET US NEVER FEEL ALONE: FOR WE HAVE OUR MODS, AND WE TRULY ARE FRIENDS FOR LIFE!

Let us not feel alone as winter shortens and darkens our days and we struggle with health, finances, relationships, and
worldly-worldly woes.

Let us not feel alone as if teetering on the precipice of the mountain with no one to catch us should we slip and fall, as
we surely must in life -

Let us not feel alone when we cannot see through our tears, when the sky turns dark above us and there's troubles below.

Let us not feel alone:  let us reach Within our tenderly beating hearts before stretching out even one trembling hand, or two feeble hands, especially when our own candle barely flickers...For surely there is someone, somewhere, feeling lonelier, in more pain, more frightened than we can ever know. And in our desolation
we shall be led There. And given an opportunity to make a choice, not just to save another, but to reclaim ourselves through one simple act of Grace:

Let us reach out and let them not feel alone. Let us kindle their heart with our love, no matter how little remains within us...Then we shall never feel alone, for it is in giving that we receive, rekindling our own flickering HOPE from the brink, regaining warmth that flames back to life when we offer ourselves to brother or sister, animal,  child, starving bird freezing in winter's brutal storm.

Let us never feel alone. For as long as we can be of service to even one soul in need, we may falter, but we shall never fall so hard that we do not discover a gentle hand reaching out to keep us from ever feeling
alone.


Let us never be alone, for as long as we can serve another, there will never be ALONE.

YUM-YUM, THE CHIEFTAIN, WELCOMES COCONUT TO OUR HERD!

Dear Friends,

As official Chieftain for "The Herd That Hears" here at Panda Pig's Peace Sanctuary, please allow me to introduce you to the newly officially named "Coconut" who is our six-month-old baby girl rescue.

Thank you, Sanctuary #1 BFF, Kezia, for perfectly naming our precious Coconut and blessing our herd with your special friendship and that of your mom's! We are thrilled to welcome our first "Official Best Friends Forever: Kezia and Kestra!"

You may both take a bow!

Please look forward to portraits of flirty little Erica as soon as we can get her to stop standing on her hind legs during Runabout and sticking her pretty nose into our Guy Cages! She's a love and she knows it, but she is also beyond mating age and we are not allowed to touch her...which, in the Large Scheme of Things, seems SO WRONG!

But when females reach a certain age without having born young, their hips fuse and after that if they become preggers, they do not survive childbirth, so she is "Eye Candy Only and ALL PAWS OFF!"

...so not right, not right, so not fair...

Well, at least we still have beautiful little Coco---

(EDITOR: YUM-YUM?! YUM-YUM!)

Beautiful little Coconut, Best Friends Forever, and tomorrow is Molly the Owl Movie Night!
Which is exactly what I was ABOUT to say, mom!

WHO LOVES YA, BABY?
YUM-YUM AND COCONUT LOVES YA
with Horks&Hisses&GuineaPig KISSES!


ha! mom's friends really gonna KEEEEL HER NOW,  cuz they know! hee-hee!

YUM-YUM, CHIEFTAIN!
