This was really hard for me. In the end I kept coming back to this photo. For the longest time I couldn't really figure out why it stood out until I realized... it's my dog being me.

For all my PB friends I hope 2012 is full of magic moments caught and posted...

For my dogs and cats I hope for health and fun, and a quiet sunny spot to sleep in...

For the Quarry Cats I hope for their safety and maybe the love of a good home in their future...

Eric
