Live long and prosper. 2016 was a bumpy and emotional ride for me, my family and some dear friends. It looks like things can only get better in the new year. On the other hand, someone pointed out that I’m lucky. I’m born in a place where we are free to practice our beliefs without question. But the world is changing, and changing fast in some expected and unexpected parts. Freedom can easily slip away. Freedom for every religion, gender, race, belief and orientation. We must remain watchful to protect these freedoms.
Happy New Year! Hope you have a great new year 2017. May all your dreams come true. Looking at the photograph, Mr. Bowie seems to say “Live long and prosper”. He probably picked it up from watching too many Star Trek episodes as a kitten. Thank you for hanging out with us at HoB. Thanks for all your likes, comments and kindness. Love, peace and happiness.
Mr. Bowie says “Happy Meow Year!” Viva la Vida!
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
“2016 says goodbye and 2017 says hello! Hello, hello…” Happy New Year, Herman and Mr. Bowie. 2017 will be a much better year for all of us.
Hi Tim! Thank you so much for the first wishes of the new year. Mr. Bowie just signed off to catch some Zs. He doesn’t mind the firework show from the neighbours…
Wishing you, Laurie and Tristan all the best and a wonderful 2017!
PS: Mr. Bowie sends his regards to all the fury ones!
Wishing you all a blessed and happy new year. Our 2016 sucked, and we are sure hoping for a better 2017 but are more that a bit nervous what will become of the U.S. after Trump is sworn in as President. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Wishing you all the best and a better year, my friends! Don’t worry, we’ll send a Cat Crew over to Washington if necessary…
Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
Happy New Year, Herman and Mr. Bowie.
I’m hoping for a better 2017, too. The beginning will still be a challenge for me but I’ve got a plane to catch Feb. 28 and will spend the month of March in Venice which has its own special healing for me.
Diavolo wishes he could come but I remind him he hates to travel. He just purrs and looks as me. He’ll stay home and guard the fort with the help of a few friends.
As always,
Michelle and Diavolo
Happy New Year, my dear Michelle! Wishing you all the best and a very wonderful 2017. I’m sure you’ll have a great time in Venice. So sorry Diavolo can’t join you but hey, someone got to guard the homefront!
Mr. Bowie says “Meow!” to you and Diavolo!
Happy New Year to you both as well!

I wish all the best to you Herman and for your gorgeous fur person Mister Bowie! I think he is right with watching Star Trek. I am also a fan of it. I hope he has easily survived firework”s show, if you had it too… My dog is rather calm, but I’ve heard many stories on pets very unhappy! No wonder, if they have 14 times better hearing! 😀
Thank you so much for your wishes! I hope you will have a wonderful and great 2017. May all your dreams come true.
The firework show didn’t wake Mr. Bowie. But hey, he even enjoys thunder and lightning storms…

Spock wasn’t talking about Earth, but one could make the same observations. Aliens arriving now would have a grande ol’ giggle, then prompty kick our asses and ship us all to Stratos.
Live Long and Prosper Herman and my furry friend Mr Bowie! Best Wishes for us all in 2017!
