My 13th Birthday

Today is my birthday!  I'm 13 today!
Mom says that sometimes it's so hard to believe that I'm 13. Some days I'm stiff and slow. I don't do stairs anymore and my walkies are twice a day but only for a really short distance but I'm still fiesty when I want to be and I can still chase Mitch through the house when I want to and I can still give him a pretty good smack with my paw when I want to play.    She also says that I'm just so darn sweet. awwwwwwwww - of course I am!
Mom always makes me a cake for my birthday! She's never forgotten! This year it's watermelon and blueberries and whipped cream!  yummmmmm
 OMG, my hat has slipped over my eye!  Help me, mom, before Mitch eats my portion too!
 Hey, Fiona.  The birthday hat is so well worth it! Go for it!

Dad says there will be other birthday celebration days coming my way - like ICE CREAM!  whooooohooooo -  I can't wait!
My friend, Putter just recently moved from Massachusetts all the way across the country to Seattle, Washington!  She has been superbusy getting settled in her new home with her twinsy boys.  Yesterday, the florist delivered a flower cake to me and mom.  Doesn't it look pretty enough to eat?
Thank you so very much, Putter!  You and your family are always so very thoughtful!  Mom and I just love our special floral birthday cake!


 Most of you know by now that mom and I share the same birthday.  We think it's pretty darn special!  Maybe we an share an ice cream cone together, mom!

Happy birthday to the birthday girls!

Love,
Maggie

    Oops, we're late! A very happy belated birthday to the both of you. We haven't blogged in years but still keep up with yours - and Mojo still has a soft spot for Mitch.

    She has a little brother now, a Dale boy called Digger who's just over 4 months. She totally understands how much forbearance and responsibility Maggie has had to show. The girls should swap a few exasperated eye-rolls over and ice-cram or two.

    We want you to know ... Moma promised us we are gonna read EVERY blogpost we've missed (it has been much much too long). We probably won't leave a pawprint, but we will catch up on what's been going on in your VeryImportantLives. You are, we hope you know, some of our very best friends.
