Today's number, boys and girls, is NINE.

Why, you ask?

Well it's very simple, actually!

On the NINE-teenth day of the NINTH month of the year NINE-teen NINETY NINE, I had NINE babies!!!

They're very comfortable on the feet. Mom noticed after a little while that the little buggers stay attached when I come out to get some food or water, or just to take a break. She took the coffee-can lid and made a hole in it. She called it a "teat squeegie" and that made Daddy laugh.

Mom's "teat squeegie" idea works pretty well, too. Sometimes a babe is a little too persistant, however, and ends up outside the door to my house. But I just gently grab him by the arm and carry him back inside.

And as you can plainly see, I am hardly as big as a cat anymore! I'm really glad... now Mom can stop saying that!!!
