Dear Diary,
I have a new friend. His name is Andy. Andy came to the Blessing of the Animals and we played together. Andy’s Mom and my Mom are friends.
Andy and Andy’s Mom brought me a Present!
It was wrapped in pretty paper, so Andy helped to open it.
Mom and I were Very Happy. š I wanted to keep them by my bed, but Arya wanted to lick them. Now Mom has two little Scotties on her piano in her office.
Mom said I can come and play with them later.
I hope I get to play with them and play with Andy, too.
That’s all for now. Love,
Jack
Jack the Scottie 
What adorable Scotties! How nice that you and Andy have become friends! Friends are the best, sometimes even more special than family!
I ā¤ļø friends.
Yes, FRIENDS! Nearby friends who can stop and visit. Faraway friends who write notes. Friends anywhere who think of you and you think of them!
Andy and Jack. Jack and Andy. What a duo — looks like good friends. And a near present in pretty paper!
This was a very good day.
We ā¤ our friends!!
I see Andy’s Certificate of Blessing. My cats’ certificate is on the wall in their room. I see it every day and smile.
That makes me so very happy! š
