Happy New Year to everyone!!!  The sky is gray and growling here.  It is a good day for sleeping in, but TaterDog evidently doesn’t celebrate the New Year.  She insist I get up.  I tried to hide under the blankets, but she kept finding a place it wasn’t tucked tight or just waited until I dozed back off and stopped holding the blanket over my face.  She kept peeling the blanket back in a version of puppy peek-a-boo.  Now, I know where the phrase “doggedly determined” came from. 
Today’s cartoon  is in two-frames.  I’ve titled Part I “Auld Lang Syne.     
Just for the Record.  Those people who sang a version of Auld Lang Syne last night that you found totally incomprehensible may not have been as drunk as you believed.  Auld Lang Syne is a very old Scottish folksong.  Robert Burns is credited with giving it to the world at large. 
Auld Lang Syne (Robby Burns version)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?

Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pu'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl't in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o' thine,
And we'll tak a right guid willie-waught
For auld lang syne!

And surely ye'll be your pint' stowp,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!
