Smiley for Kylie

A little update on Kylie’s sweet kitten, Liza. This is her last weekend with teeth! Liza has a rare condition called stomatitis where she is actually allergic to her teeth. So we have to get them pulled. Other than that, she’s doing great and loves the wet cat food that she will have to eat from now on. When she recovers, we will share some pics of her toothless. Say a prayer for Monday’s surgery.

Besides being Kylie’s favorite animal, were you aware that in some species of penguin, fatter is better? That’s right, it is the male penguin which incubates the eggs while females leave to hunt for weeks at a time. Because of this, pudgy maleswith enough fat storage to survive weeks without eatingare most desirable. Happy Penguin Awareness Day! #penguinawarenessday

Smiles are always good!

We're all glad that 2020 is almost over, but Kylie taught us that even during difficult times, there were moments of joy. So today, on this last day of the year, we're issuing a Joy Challenge. Tell us in the comments about a moment of joy unique to 2020. We'll go first - today Smiley for Kylie wrote a $32,000 check for pediatric cancer research which pushes the total donated since Kylie's diagnosis over $400,000! Now you - what's your joy?

Merry Christmas from Kylie, Herald, and Holly!
