Critters
First and foremost, Happy New Year to all our WOSIB sisters from every one of us here in Critters’ Garden.
To round off the year, instead of our usual Pet Of The Month we have selected our Pet Of The Year, voted for out of all the monthly POTM winners throughout 2005.
The winner , by a HUGE margin, is TomKat, owned by Aran. TomKat is 22 years young this month and we wish him a very happy birthday too! Congratulations go from all of us to both TomKat and Aran. Aran’s website can be found at: http://aran's_dream.efsupport.com/

Critter Keeper Of The Month, chosen by the Garden Head, is Autumn. Autumn has devoted an incredible amount of time to this group since she has joined us. She never misses an assignment, always signs guestbooks, and is always ready with a reply to a query, a cheery word, or an offer of help on the list. Thank you Autumn! Autumn has lots of pets: Willy (dog), neutered, tri-color Toy Fox Terrier, 5/24/87; Boo-Boo(cat), white spayed DSH, 9/18/2002 ; Shadow-Bug (cat), black-and-white spayed DSH; 9/21/2003; Molly (dog), choc/white Pomeranian, 8/22/2003; Caesar (dog), fawn neutered Presa Canario, 5/2005; Kiki (cat), Siamese/tabby, 8/13/2005; Koko (cat), Siamese/tabby, 8/13/2005

To start this new year we have many changes at Critters : for some time I have been struggling with the running of the garden and have finally managed to get a new team together! They are :
Critters’ Garden Assistant Head : Autumn
Assistant in charge of Rainbow Bridge : Sweetness
Rainbow Bridge Assistant : Kat
Garden Assistant : MoonPixie
Many thanks to these ladies for volunteering to help run the garden – I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s in good hands.

We are at this very moment running a competition to design a new Members’ Badge for Critters’ Garden : the designs are now all in and the voting is taking place as I type. When the design has been chosen by the Garden members I plan to have a new look for the Critters’ website too – check out next month’s newsletter for details!
