Wow, dear readers--I can't thank you enough for the outpouring of love, good wishes, and virtual hugs you've sent me since my last post. I really am touched. I miss my dog terribly, and know I will for a long time, but it's heartening to see all the puppy love happening in the wide, wide world. Here are all the (nearly 100) photos readers sent in! (I think this is all of them, but if I somehow missed yours, let me know.) Enjoy the gallery! 
World's smallest dog
One of my favorite readers as a little boy with his dog. (This little boy has grown into one of the most loving, intelligent, and interesting guys I know! I love ya, DP!)
FORCING their dog to sleep on a RAINBOW pillow!? See, this is why the gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt. This poor dog might even end up GAY!
SO cute, aren't they?? And the dogs aren't half bad, either. ;) Seriously, all: thank you. It means a lot.

Well, folks, it's been nearly FIVE months since I talked to any of you. But lest you thought I'd fallen off the face of the earth, I'm popping my butch little head up to say hello. It's not that work has abated--goodness knows THAT hasn't happened--nor that I think I can write every day, or even every week. Rather, I sort of thought I'd know when it was time for me to come back, even occasionally, and it's time.
In the spirit of re-acquainting ourselves, I'm going to list some things that have happened to me in the last five months. Then YOU list a couple of things that have happened to YOU in the last five months. Deal? Okay, here's mine:
So that's me in a nutshell. I have lots, lots, lots more to say. I'm officially back, although "back" may mean a once-a-month posting. I don't know yet. But I do know that I missed you. I probably won't be back to answering emails or Facebook posts for a while, but I'll try to be in touch whenever I can! :) Your turn! What's new with you guys? Dear BW readers,
I've decided to take a break from writing Butch Wonders. I'm not sure how long--probably between six weeks and three months. In part, I want time to think about how best to sustain BW in the long run, both financially and practically. Additionally, I'm about to start a search for a new job, which will be time-consuming as well. Rather than half-arsing anything, I'm going to step away from BW, then step back in when I'm ready. BW readers are awesome. I love you guys--corresponding with you, learning from you--everything. You're a proud, gorgeous, eclectic bunch, and I'm sending you all virtual hugs and fist bumps. I'll be back soon. In the meantime, I'll occasionally post updates on the BW Facebook page or add things to the Butch Store, so be sure to join me there. I'm looking forward to coming back already! Much love, BW As you may have noticed, my blogging has slowed considerably. I want to blog more--daily, actually--and have been prevented from doing this because I have to work part-time jobs in addition to my main job to make ends meet. A friend of mine advised, "Dude, make Butch Wonders your part-time job." I said, "That'd be great, but how?" She said, "You have 2000 readers a day! If each of them gave five bucks, Butch Wonders could be your part-time job for a year." She's right. Dear readers, would you be willing to give a couple bucks to have a BW post every weekday? You could think of it as buying me coffee and a cookie to say, "Thanks for writing this blog, yo. I like it." That's right--excellent freakin' blog entries from yours truly. On a regular basis! What fun! And I could throw some prizes into the mix, too. Here are a couple of polls to help me figure out exactly what to do: Thanks for filling these out!
Thrilled to be figuring out a way to bring you the best in lesbian blogging, BW Occasionally I get email from other aspiring queer bloggers asking for advice, and I received another one recently, so I thought I'd share some general, hard-won blogging advice. Take it all with a boulder of salt.
