The Fundamental Question

Dear Dr. Sadie,


What are the keys to long life and happiness?


- Dolly the Llama

For such a long life, they don't even have a day or two to move to a new house.

To be happy, have all of your cousins come over to your house. When my cousins don't come over, I'm sad. One of my favorite cousins is my cousin Ella.

A Snowball's Chance in WHERE?

Dear Dr. Sadie,


My cat, "Snowball," ran away from home. I am very sad. I looked everywhere for her, but I couldn't find her. I put up flyers, but no one called. I am starting to think that she's never coming home. I am a little lonely, and I want to get another cat, but it feels like I am betraying Snowball. How long should I wait to get another cat?

You should keep trying to get Snowball back. You should go on a ride to the farm. Snowball will be at the farm. I think that Snowball loves to play with the pumpkins at the farm.

If you don't find Snowball at the farm, you should get another cat. You can name this cat Snowball.
