When I adopted Annabelle in December 2013 I only had
an approximate age of 18 months.
With some math (skills I am not good at -- among other
things like remembering birthdays, anniversaries,
or other special dates) I deduced August was her birth
month, and since she was adopted on the 3rd, I gave
her that as her birthdate.

Annabelle today is your birthday, it started out with
your pantaloons getting a wash, which isn't
something you enjoy but I think it made you feel
better -- in the long run!
***
But she has been playing with her snakey
and she had a great breakfast and now
she's airing herself out on the screen in porch.
Which she loves.
***
She's really one of the lucky ones.
Her life before was one where she had two
litters before she was 2 years old and
she lived outdoors in a very rural county.
So she's lucky.
Now she could not ask for anything.
Including being hand fed each meal
(Because that's how she likes it!)
***
Thank you Annabelle
for finding me.
For helping me overcome so much
sadness from 2013.
Happy birthday to my sweet sweet girl.
