!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!COMING ATTRACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Dear Readers,

This is indeed a Red Letter Day!  The mighty Hotep has weaved his magic spell from the Great Pyramid in the sky, and decreed that his mother produce a small Bob, who like himself, will be destined for greatness!

Let us all praise the great Amenhotep for his awesome powers and his attention to Bob's keepers' sorrow and loss.  Bob has been so greatly missed, and his readers have had to do without his reports of doings in and about the Avinger environs.  But no more.  Help is on the Way.

On March 4, 2017, on a street called Pinecrest in the City of Avinger, a baby Bob was born!  He has been acquired by Bob's keepers and is currently enjoying all the things babies love:  playing, sleeping, eating and pooping.  Of course we do not yet know if he will rise to emulate his great 1/2 brother, Bobby Hotep, but we expect great things from him.

He also had brothers and sisters who were acquired by Jane Yarbrough, Linda and Ken Loyd, and Pam Downs.  We do not know at this writing whether they are boys or girls, but we'll keep you informed.

Isn't it just like Hotep to provide an heir here at Easter when our blessed Saviour rose from his grave?  So the mighty Hotep sent down from his pyramid a baby to provide blessings and enlightenment once again in the great city of Avinger!

Here are some pictures of the Baby Hotep.  Enjoy and know that the saga will continue as Bob had wished.  Truly God is great!

 

This is baby Bob at 4 weeks old, just when he arriveD at his keepers' home.  You can see that he looks snappy and intelligent!

As you can see, he has inherited the large, Hotep feet of his famous 1/2 brother!  He also has no tail just like the great Hotep.   Great things are in store for this baby.  Join us all in celebrating the birthday of little Bob and all his brothers and sisters.  Congratulations to all the new keepers of the Hotep flame, and may they experience all the blessings and enlightenment that Bob so longed to spread over his beloved city of Avinger.

Carmen Possum

My dear Readers, here is my friend, Carmen.  He comes nightly to eat persimmons under the tree in the back yard as well as to snarf up any cat food my keepers may put out for him.  He is a small possum to be over a year old, but his tail has become very long!

All my friends have been killed by the dog pack.  Patches, Coach and Linda Loyd's calico is gone.  Blackie, my best friend who was feral and lived under Patty Pitchford's front porch is gone.  Cliocatra is gone.  They even killed Kim Parr's cat and her little dog.  My keepers notified the sheriff who sent a deputy to call on the dogs' owner.  He was letting them out every morning about 6 and every night about 10 to run wild in the neighborhood.  My keepers now have a weapon.

I hope to find some new feline friends, it's rather lonely at the moment around here. 

The Sad Facts

I have the sad duty to advise Bob's faithful readers that he passed away the week before Thanksgiving, 2016.  I haven't been able to write about it before.  He was making his daily rounds when he came upon a big copperhead snake in the woods down below Cemetery Hill.  It must have been a battle, because we found the snake lying beside him.

He had been missing for several days, and the hunt was on frantically to find him.  Angel, one of his keepers, found him on Saturday before Thanksgiving after he'd not come home for 3 days.  He has been cremated, as a good Egyptian priest would be, and is resting in a beautiful cedar box on the hall shelf where he loved to sit and meditate.

I know if he were here, he would urge that his blog be continued for the enlightenment and blessings of all his followers.  Fortunately, his home of origin was located by accident and his mother is about to give birth to another batch of potential Hoteps.  His keepers have their name in the pot for a baby Bob, and we will keep you posted should one be acquired!

Bob was a very special priest, and there will never be another to match him.  His is now in the Great Pyramid with his mentor, and I'm sure they are having marvelous adventures together in his new, spiritual home.  While we mourn him for our loss, we celebrate the belief in the Egyptian Afterlife, knowing that the Mighty Hotep is in his plane, flying high above us, still showering blessings and light over the city of Avinger he loved.
