BEST...CHRISTMAS...EVER

Dad's home, safe and sound. What more can I say?

I can say a lot, actually, but I'll keep it at feeling a deep sense of relief. We heard from him at around dinnertime on Christmas Eve, and he was in our arms by midnight. No present could ever produce the same feeling.
It was left to me to clean up the loose ends. First I fixed the identity theft issue caused when the moths that ate Dad's clothing at the motel also stole his credit cards. Then I sent a few strongly worded letters to the motel's owner seeking damages for their employee running off a customer into the Wild. They responded with a generous settlement, probably due to my using Herd Thinners, Inc. stationery.
Finally, while Dad is indeed home, so is Kell. She and the rest of the world's predators have gone on strike, so for our family finances that motel settlement money will come in handy.

What an excellent gift to the family. I hope 2008 will be rewarding to the entire cast and their talented author.

One thing I like about your family (OK, the thing I like the most, although it is still hard to stop salivating at the sight of a giant bunny, old habits die hard, I spose) is the way the blended-ness has led to greater understanding, you of us predators, Kevin of insectivores, Kell of Herbivores (not to mention us felines), etc. I hope that this strike is also taken with understanding. "Strike" and "workers taking action" is often seen as a dirty word, even here in Domain and, although the strike is young, tensions are already starting to run high. I am proud to be a predator, and this means that I am proud of the needed services we do. Even though I am the sole meat-winner in the family (Mrs. Lion is watching the kids) and the strike would make things quite difficult on is, I woudln't change it at all, because I also know that if we agree to everything from management, we will wind up with nothing eventually. We have to assert ourselves (something us predators are good at.)
