It's our dog Sally's 14th birthday. We sang to her and gave her a
special treat. Happy Birthday is her favourite song, and she barks
along to it every time. We got Sally at a very sad time
in our lives. Our almost 14 year old dog died that year in
September, and my mother died a couple of weeks later.
We needed a dog, and visited the Humane Society adoption
Center, and chose Sally. Well in fact she chose us. She was a |
skinny dog lying on a ripped blanket. When I sat down on the
floor beside her cage, she pulled my purse into the cage, and that
was that. Steven found me sitting on the floor crying looking at
Sally, and the rest has been 14 years of loving this beautiful animal.
She no longer looks like this painting, but she is even more beautiful
in our eyes -- her family, we love her, and she loves us.
Sally was one year old when we got her, and we were her fourth
owners. Tonight when we sing Happy Birthday to her again, she
will of course sing Happy Birthday to herself again, and get two more
cookies, and something good to eat. She is now almost completely
blind, and deaf, but she hasn't lost her sense of fun.
Have a loving your life day!
