Bob has issued a new heavenly decree: naps are now sacred law. If you’re upright for more than four consecutive hours, you’d better have an excuse signed by management.

In this episode, Bob explains why naps aren’t laziness but wisdom…little miracles that reset sanity, health, and perspective. From enforcing nap slips in Heaven to demonstrating the curl, the sprawl, and the glorious belly-up, Bob makes his case for rest as a necessity, not a guilty pleasure.

✨ Takeaway: On Earth or in Heaven, rest is power. Stop treating naps as indulgences. They’re fuel for the soul.

PS from JennySometimes the world glorifies exhaustion, but Bob reminds us that slowing down is an act of strength. I hope this episode gives you permission to rest…without guilt. 💛

My dearest friends on the internet,

It’s official: Bob Out Loud Season 2 has launched, and I’ve returned with…suggestions.

Yes, even Heaven isn’t perfect…and naturally, I found the Suggestion Box. My list? Improved snack rotations, a Designated Nap Zone, and proper regulation of sunbeams (because racing Chihuahuas for sunlight is beneath me).

But here’s the deeper truth: suggesting improvements isn’t discontent…it’s devotion. You improve what you love.

🎙️ In this episode, I’ll walk you through my heavenly notes, why harp music should be replaced by the sound of a crackling fireplace, and what all this means for your life on Earth.

Because perfection isn’t about ignoring flaws. It’s about caring enough to polish what you’ve been given.

Very truly yours,Bob

PS from Jenny

Season 1 of Bob Out Loud began with a healthy, smug, orange-and-white tabby who had just been given a clean bill of health. None of us imagined that by the end of the very first season, Bob would be speaking to us from his new perch in heaven.

In this season finale, Bob reflects on the journey we’ve taken together…from his sharp-witted rules for living, to his pep talks, to his ongoing war against the vile. With humor and raw honesty, he reminds us that life can change in an instant. Health and happiness are fleeting, and sometimes the vile beast is mysterious, silent, and without explanation.

Bob’s message is clear: don’t wait. Tell your vile beasts, both animal and human, that you love them. Hold them close. Because while we can’t hold on to everything forever, we can hold on to each other.

Season 1 ends with gratitude, truth, and one final tail swish from Bob: love lingers louder than loss. Season 2 will begin next week!
