January is the hangover of 2015. At the first of the year, everyone wants to start something new, but with the traveling, drinking, and merrymaking of December, I have no energy for the new, I'm saving that for February. Unfortunately, now I must muster the energy to face the end of another era. After ten years, my favorite, trusty blog of furry friends, Cute Overload, has come to an end.
Cute Overload introduced me to cuddly concepts like interspecies snorggling, toe beans, caturdays, nose-vember, ‘tock-tober and the correct spelling of kitteh - I suspect the -eh represents the gasping in cuteness. The blog made me laugh and invest in new, furry friends including: the owner who cared for his arthritic dog, the kitty who inspired for her autistic little friend, the boy who read to shelter cats, the golden retriever, Keelo, who comforted his recovering feline friend, Koda, the dog and his best pal, an elephant, the giraffe saying goodbye to his dying caretaker, Cole and Marmalade’s instructional videos for living with cats, and Maru, the Scottish fold, and his obsession with boxes. I’ll miss you, Cute Overload, you were there when I needed a friend and when simply needed a smile. Thank you for always delivering the cuteness and the warm fuzzies.
