I have returned to the land of my people

Dearest friends,If you follow me on Facebook, you know I've been gone.  I updated everyone last night about how our Mazie Grace has been so very sick. She's doing better now and we are very grateful.  The one thing I will say about the woman is that when one of the vile beasts is sick, the world stops and she tends to them.  Sometimes I feel a little neglected because...after all...I am her soulmate.  But, in the case of Mazie Grace, I doted on her, too.  She likes it when I lay down next to her and put my back up against hers.  Well, then again, what woman doesn't?So the woman and I have been talking...it's time for me to start bringing home the bacon, so to speak...(the woman is a vegetarian and, sadly, there is no bacon allowed in this house).   After all, I am the man of the house. I want to contribute.  And, with my witty entrepreneurial mind, there are lots of things I can do. As many of you know, I am a prolific thinker and writer. I have been working on my book for quite a while now.  My goal in writing my book is to educate stupid humans about the plight of homeless animals. The woman and I both feel it is time to move my business venture forward.The first step in that is to hire people to help us...and therein lies the problem. So...being the strategic thinker that I am, I have come up with a brilliant idea. (It's a good thing the woman has me...she could NEVER count on the vile beasts the way she counts on me.)  This morning I am launching the All Things Bob Boutique...the online shopping center to find all things related to Bob...me!  Now, sadly it's currently only 3 items but...it's 3 items with my face on them.  We are going to try to add more merchandise over time...but this is all I could manage right now.We have the incredible "It's Bob O'Clock Somewhere" cell phone case:

There's also the soon-to-be collector's item "It's Bob O'Clock Somewhere" t-shirt:

And, finally, we have the "It's Bob O'Clock Somewhere" tote bag that you can take to the grocery store:

Everything in the store is available in multiple sizes and colors.  The cell phone case is available in numerous versions to fit several different cell phone manufacturers.  The proceeds for the sale of these items are going to go to 2 places...we are going to donate 10% of any money made to Rikki's Refuge.  If you don't know about Rikki's, please visit their web site.  It's a wonderful animal refuge in Central Virginia that's about an hour from where I live. They do wonderful things to provide a safe haven for animals...all kinds of animals...that are in need.  The rest of the money is going to go to the "Bob's Book Fund"...because I have so much to say, it would really be a shame for the entire world to not hear it.So, please visit my store and just know I would be forever grateful if you would consider celebrating Bob O'Clock with me!Very truly yours,Bob
