Someone pass 'Bone another tankard ...
Carl, Speaking only for myself (and the dog) with the utmost verisimilitude, I cherish each moment spent in your unique company. By the way, thank you again for the Beaver Bo! It's been quite effective. Since April, there have been no successful assaults by beaver (or any member of the Castoridae family, for that matter) nor have I been bested in single combat since you gifted it to me.
You rock!

Don't leave out the cat which crawled in my tent the first night of Homecoming. Scared the bajeebers out of me until I heard it purring. I still wanted to Google to see if skunks purr. I instead showed it the door flap. In retrospect, I regret shooing the Felis catus, given the cool weather and lack of adequate bedding material. I could have used it for its body heat or as the pillow I neglected to pack.
So that makes 3. The dog, the cat, and John. Who needs more pals than that?
Carl
