Dear furiends!
How are you all? I’m so sorry for my absence. I have been busy caring for cousin Dexter. In August the humans, canines and I all travelled over to England to spend time here and help look after Dexter whilst mum also sorted out some health issues. Evfurrybody stayed for six weeks and I became best furiends with cousin Dexter. As most of you know, he was brutally attacked when some excuse of a human shoved a gun in his mouth and shot him. When I first saw him he had a funny metal thing attached to his face which made him look really weird. However, I had so much fun in the garden with him that I decided to stay behind whilst the humans did all the travelling between England, Italy and Spain and opt out of all of the stressful moving. Although I miss looking out of my portholes on the boat, I love the view from my holiday home.
I miss April, Blue and Annabelle of course but here there are four cats, four dogs and four tortoises as well as some fish so I’m having a whale of a time. Before they left my sisters and brofur Blue also loved it here because there’s so much space to run around.
Annabelle and Dexter are great partners in crime. I LOVE hanging out here.
Furiends I have a big favour to ask please. Tomorrow Dexter is going in for another operation to graft skin over the hole in his mouth to try and encourage the hole that still (three and a half months after the attack) hasn’t closed and healed. Please can you all send him all of your pawsitivity?
Dexter has also been in the news and made it to the finals of the PDSA’s (a UK based pet charity) survivor of the year awards. If you could please take a moment to vote for him to win we’d all be really grateful. You can vote for Dexter here.
Dexter and I really appreciate all of the very generous donations evfurryone has made to his Go Fund Me page, it has been invaluable in his recovery and we are both eternally grateful. Paws crossed everything goes well tomorrow during his operation.
Bisous to you all,
Bailey

Bailey, we are so happy to see and hear from you. We hope this next surgery helps to close the hole in Dexter’s palate. We voted for Dexter a few days ago. We are sending purrs and POTP to Dexter, and Mom is keeping him in her prayers. We are really surprised that Mom Lou and Dad James left you behind and that you are okay with that. When will they come get you? We all are sending you lots of love.
