Today we have the amazing privilege of having one of the most infamous A-Z affiliated bloggers (and I say affiliated since he has never really, though that's up for debate... participated in any of the A-Z Challenges) graciously allowing us to use his satirical Reflection Pawst.
To really understand how special this is, you need to know that Gary does the Challenge in his own way. One year it was backwards through the alphabet, this year he had his Alphabark Challenge, run by Penny, the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar.
Despite his "disdain" for a month long Challenge which "hogs the blogosphere" he probably does more to promote our endeavors than most. We love our Gary and his trusty sidekick, and graciously thank him for all he does behind the scenes for us. Take it away Gary and Penny!
