PuppyDoc’s list
In the new year, I will…
1. …try to help a homeless person in some way each day.
2. …hug more elderly patients.
3. …remind each nurse I see that he/she is appreciated.
4. …fall in love with medicine all over again,
5. …and hopefully inspire someone else to as well.
At the same time, I will try not to neglect my own well-being by…
6. …listening to my mom about eating more veggies,
7. …not avoiding the dentist,
8. …realizing that a Clif Bar plus a Red Bull doesn’t constitute an ideal meal,
9. …and not refusing to go to the doctor…
But seriously…
10. I only hope to make a small difference…one day at a time (…and live happily ever after with Samantha, of course).

Samantha’s list
Upon the next moon, I shall…
1. …find more ways to earn treats…
2. …but at the same time lose 3 lbs.
3. …stop stealing pepperoni off my human’s pizza,
4. …stop stealing chicken wings off the kitchen counter,
5. …and try not to take up the entire pillow when sleeping atop my human’s head at night.
Moreover, if I find a gecko, or any living creature smaller than me, I shall…
6. …not bite it,
7. …nor squish it,
8. …nor terrify it with my intimidating presence,
9. …but allow it to go on living its peaceful life.
But most importantly…
10. I will remain fluffy, loving, and sweet…and live happily ever after with my human.
♥

Thank you Erica! You have put a big smile on my face. Happy New Year! 😀 -phoebe
I like your goals, very admirable and world changing, for which you have my respect
Your cat’s goals I fear might be just to fool you into giving it more tuna! Don’t be fooled by the furry menace and accept the little merc for all it’s adorable faults!!
Yes… I was indeed a bit suspicious of my kitty’s intentions. You have confirmed them! 😉
Happy New Year! I hope it’s a wonderful one! 😀
