Hello, friends! It seems like just yesterday that Patrick was away on his book-writing sabbatical, but — can you believe it? — we're already a month and a half in to 2022, and Mooch and Earl are back with new adventures.

In case you missed ’em, here are a couple of Patrick's newer comic strips that have already risen to the top of our "reader favorites" list:

Here at Team MUTTS, our paws have been busy creating some exciting goodies that will be coming soon to the MUTTS Shop. In the coming weeks and months we will be revealing a fresh selection of spring-themed greeting cards, a new jigsaw puzzle based this 1996 comic strip, a new kitchen towel and pot holder set (a first for the MUTTS Shop), and other exciting additions.

Speaking of that kitchen set — we'd like to extend a big "thank you" to everyone who answered our product design polls on Facebook and Instagram! Our goal is to create goodies that'll add more MUTTS joy to your daily routine, and your feedback played a big part in helping us choose the final designs.

Interested in more product polls? Want more opportunities to share your thoughts with us? Let us know in the comments!

As Patrick mentioned in his letter last month, the first annual Tripawd Awareness Day ("Triday") is coming up soon on March 3. This online celebration is hosted by the nonprofit Tripawds Foundation, which offers an array of resources and support for parents of three-legged pets. You can learn more about the organization, or share your own tripawd journey, at Triday.pet.

In a recent post on social media, we shared an image of Mooch with his beloved Little Pink Sock, and posed the question: What are your simple pleasures in life?

As always, your responses made us smile: The joy of coming home to your pets after work. "Diamond days" when sunlight sparkles on the snow. Watching the sun rise while listening to the birds waking up. Crisp sheets fresh from the clothes line. The smell of freshly brewed coffee. Newspaper clippings.

Simple pleasures really are the best kind, aren't they? Hope you enjoy lots of them today, or sometime very soon.

Hugs and wags,
Team MUTTS

Going out with my dog in all kinds of weather and realizing with him the joy of just being alive – and sharing MUTTS with my wife and comparing Earl and Mooch to Axel and Kimba (our dog and cat)!

My cats LOVED their little pink socks 💗 filled with catnip. I think I will order 2 more.
