I’m not sure who is more shocked that I’m turning fourteen years young today…me or Mommy. What I do know is that I'm exceptionally grateful for each day I get to spend with my family & that I’m a happy, healthy girl. I still have loads of spunk & am the reigning Queen of Crazy around this joint. Sadly, several of my friends & their families are hurting right now, so I’m sending each of them a gentle hug & pray that things will be better for them very, very soon.

On my birthday, I can't help but think of two of my extra amazing friends. First is the brave, strong & oh-so-sweet Angel Sammy J. He was born on April 1, 1997…exactly three days after me & that makes us Almost Twins! I think that’s pretty doggone amazing. I like the idea that Sammy J. & I arrived in the world so close together.

The other pal who comes to mind today is the loving & big-hearted Angel Willie. His birthday is Monday, April 4th & it should be a Dogster holiday if you ask me! Willie has always been my Yorkie idol.

I truly don’t need a single thing for my birthday, although a few extra baby carrots from Mommy would certainly be appreciated. (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink...I hope she takes the hint!) But I would be especially grateful if we all could send Angel Sammy J. & Angel Willie some extra love for their special days. They mean so much to me & to so many Dogsters. They are forever in my heart & I will always treasure their friendship. Not just on my birthday, but every day of the year.

Here's a special Birthday Challenge for everyone, should you choose to accept it. How about we all tell someone how much they mean to us today? It costs absolutely nothing but a few moments of time. And I guarantee that a nice, unexpected surprise is always a good thing. :-)

Muffin,

How did I get so lucky? To have such a wonderful pal as you? On YOUR birthday, you ask that Willster and I get extra love. And that you challenge each of us to tell someone how much they mean to us today.

Well, here it goes.

Muffin, you mean love. You mean grace and caring. You mean the world to me, and the rest of my pack. We consider the Dogster to be the greatest because it brought us together. You are a rare gem, a DIAMOND. We love you, and and in awe of your love, devotion and the fact you have got to be the energizer bunny!

Keep on a'goin' sweetie!

We love you! Especially me, your "almost twin".

Hugs hugs from above,
Sammy
