Now that it’s absolutely official, happy Spring to you! This is the most fabulous time of year, when all earthly creatures begin to thaw out and soak in the warmth of the sun. And normally, there is nobody more anxious than Newman to soak in that warmth. But sometimes, there are road blocks on the road to paradise.
At a quick glance of this photo below, it almost appears that Newman is blocking Buddy. But alas, it is sweet, bubbly Buddy, Newman’s BFF, who is slowing Newman down. It was not clear why, but Buddy decided that he was going to hang out in the tube to the solarium, which left Pyewacket all by his lonesome outside…and everyone else inside. Perhaps Buddy wanted to take the place of newcomer Mitt, who recently won an adopter’s heart. Maybe Buddy wanted a bit of that luck for himself.
Eventually Newman put aside his desire to get outside and enjoy some Spring air, and instead honored me with the pleasure of his company inside. That is, until a little tussle with Lester over a toy left him wanting some alone time — and perhaps a little nap.
Rumor has it that suitemate Mona was a bit of a “weights and nails” nightmare this month, and that our dear Newman was a dream. This isn’t unusual, our team tells me; gentle Newman is generally easygoing about his monthly pedicure and weigh-in. It’s all part of the darling package that makes Newman such a staff and volunteer favorite — and that makes his not-yet-adopted status such a mystery.
Thank you, dear sponsors, for being your fabulous selves, and for being Newman’s angels. Thank you.
Have a great month!
