Thank you everyone for your support, interest and encouragement over this past year. From being a newbie on social media to creating a website, the journey has been amazing! You all were part of publishing my first children's book, Tales of Spring Valley , and I thank you. It is very humbling and it could not have happened without you. May God give you For every storm, a rainbow, For every tear, a smile, For every care, a promise, And a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, A faithful friend to share, For every sigh, a sweet song And an answer for each prayer. (Author of this Irish prayer is unknown) From, Panda and the Boss

We’re having a heat wave! No more frozen whiskers! Pawsitively loving this warmer weather! Look at all the meowy things moi has been doing: · Lots of naps snuggled up with the kits on the Boss’s deck. · Showing the kits snow removal techniques: it’s all about the back foot shake technique! Also nibbling off any bits of ice as soon as pawsible to prevent icing up. · Teaching the kits winter hunting strategies: identifying who made the snow tracks; learning to look under the big spruce trees in the leaves and grass that are free from snow; listening for mice under the snow; pounce practicing; staying dry and warm; learning how not to get lost. I do have some catspific winter techniques for keeping myself handsome and adorable [pic below] that moi, Logo Panda, am willing to share with all of my loyal fans: Staying Handsome Make sure hair does not get matted with snow and ice Groom often [I can’t believe I just said that [I hate grooming!] Snack as often as pawsible. Big perk for being # 1”: I get to eat first; have to keep up my strength! Practice my smiles & poses for promo camera shots. Staying Adorable Keep practicing the innocent, ‘cute look’ Continue leg rubbing Purr often Ask to be picked up Keep walking with the Boss and her hubby Follow the Boss and her hubby everywhere Pawsing for now, Panda

Winter Hunting Logo Panda here: Kit school studies continue! Notice the pics which illustrate the skills being taught. 1.Kits sneaking in late to class; that is moi, sitting by the pole. 2 & 3 .Skating: avoid splats or cats go flat! Cat paws are very well suited to skating; winter hair grows longer around the paws creating a little fringe that protects the pads. No tip toes on the ice! Kits must learn to slide and stride using the furry padding on the paws. Sideways manouvres are not recommended. Skating across ice helps the kits reach the winter hunting grounds. 4. The Stare: Handsome Moi looking up, purrfectly focussed on the prey, or where I hope the prey will appear. Notice my pink nose tipped up! Kits are currently in ‘squirrel mode’ their attention darting around instead of only looking at one spot. 5. The Statue: staying as still as long as pawssible which is tricky when your paws and bottom are on the cold snow! Prey ignores you if you don't move! Kits are now up to 3 minutes before they need to move. Moi ,of course, can stay still at least 10 minutes! Maybe it is because of my amazing, thick, long hair. 6.Scrunching: this used to be my special skill when I was a kit. I would always scrunch down or under to save a few steps. [remember I have always looked for the way of least resistance and effort] and could make myself half the normal size in order to go in or under somewhere. 7. Invisibility: having a handle on the Statue pose, really helps becoming invisible. Each kit must believe they are invisible, shrink or scrunch down to be smaller and not move! 8. The Pounce/leap: the goal of all these skills is to get your prey. Timing is everything! Learning to stay focussed and wait. Pouncing, poinking and boinking too soon or too late ruins the hunt! Happy hunting!Hope these catmazing tips help! Panda
