It has been a lot of fun to read Heidi. I think you've created something here that you will be able to keep going with and expand on in the future in so many different ways. Well done, really really well done 👏👏👏

Wonderful chapter. Arya and I are especially pleased that Finnegan's wing will be healed. That he might be able to fly. Wouldn't that be magnificient? And a writing teacher, to boot. Finnegan teaching his craft, passing on his knowledge to the next generation.

The future is hopeful for all the furbabies, as well, with a family reunion and a possible future career in the service of animals. How much better can it get?

Thank you, Perry & Arya! We are so pleased to read your response to the Chapter. This has turned out to be the most emotional chapter to write and it felt like the best course of action to put the narrative energy into the future generation of Critters. Built on a foundation of healing and flying.:)

It's been a wonderful adventure all the way. You've broken old rules, created a new genre, created delight for your readers, even added new terms to the English language and used old terms in new ways. An act of genius.

Thank you, Michael, that is high praise indeed! Jasper Kitten, Chris & Jojo are going to party, a word which to them is as much of a verb as it is a noun. Thank you so much for reading along and being a part of the story, you've given us a lot to add to the adventure. See you soon for the conclusion and the second book coming soon in January.
