HAY!!! (Photo credit: malconsidine)

Answer:  HAY FEVER

( . . . and dozy doats .  And liddle lamzy divey.  A kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you?  Hay . . . is for horses, people!  Well, this was an interesting Jumble.  All the clue words were jumbled really well, and we even had two new clue words.  Yes.  ralis95 can add both “koala” and “feisty” to his clue word database!  The answer letter layout wasn’t necessarily spectacular, but I don’t think it gave anything away.  The cartoon is a little different.  I’m not sure if the horses are both supposed to be female.  Maybe?  The one has a single earring.  Not that any of it really matters.  There are little bales of hay in the cartoon!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person:  he believed in me.”   —   Jim Valvano

(Truly, that is the greatest gift.  A parent’s love, or both your parents’ love, is one thing, and in most cases that is going to be a given.  But, if even one of your parents demonstrate that they really believe in you, that will carry you through your entire life.  That belief will fuel your ambition, your focus, and most importantly your self-confidence.  If you’re the parent of a young child, show them that you believe in them.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
