I would like to use today’s column to convey a couple of things to my supporters.

First, I’d like to extend our sympathies regarding the loss of flamboyant mayoral candidate Pearl Boy.

Secondly, I am profoundly moooved by those of you who have been generously donating for my care and upkeep. Thank you so much!

I have had serious medical issues resolved through the generosity of my patrons. I got a new water trough, lots of soft dry straw for my bed, and all the hay I can eat. I even have a mineral supplement and alfalfa pellets. It just doesn’t get any better than this! For those of you who are interested we have an accounting of the expenditures at the Trading Co.

Please understand that we continually need to find resources to provide my food and health care. I have a bank account at Key Bank should you like to donate money, the lovely bipeds at the bank can help you. I also am in need of wood chips for my barn and muddy pasture if you have some to donate. We will be trying to schedule a barn raising project this spring.

In my next column I would like to return my attention to answering the concerns of my constituents. If you have a question on any subject, please leave it in the red barn mailbox at the front door of the Trading Co. or mail it to April D Bovine PO Box # 387 Eastsound, WA 98245. I eagerly await your questions.

Sincerely, with great appreciation,

April D. Bovine
