It’s my birthday today, and it wasn’t as bad a day as I expected. My new dear little dog jumped up off her four feet and I could see her head bobbing up and down in the window in the door when I got home from lunch with one of my dearest friends. I’ve never had a dog who could do that and it’s one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. Then she did a 10 minute happy dance to greet me. My other new dog, who must have had a horrible life before I got her, chased her tail a few times today, and rolled around in the yard and seemed like like a happy girl. She’s starting to come out of whatever hell she’s been through, and that warmed my heart. I got some really nice cookies and brooches, and gummy lobsters, the only kind of lobsters I can eat, from a dear niece. Brothers and sister called. So a nice day, all things considered. Then I got mail from AARP, a bit of a bummer, but I’ll live.

@Juju: Happy birthday, Juju!!!
Two new dogs and the happiest of puppy greetings, sounds like a great birthday.
I was trying to figure out what gummy lobsters were and finally realized they are like gummy works and gummy bears. Then they sounded a lot better! :-)

Thanks. Someone mentioned, when I was waiting for my dogs, that I should link to my photo site, but I don’t have one. But they are cute dogs. Ruby Jean is a terrier blend and Lulu is an unwanted former breeder golden retriever. They are both beautiful and worth the year plus it took to get them.

@Juju: Happy Birthday. Wonderful doggies.

@Juju: :-) An excellent day!
Don’t worry about the AARP thing. A colleague in grad school got on their mailing list when he was about 25. ;-)
Thanks. And Happy Birthday!!
Cheers,
Scott.

@WaterGirl: Yes, like gummy worms or bears. I hate to think of what you were picturing before you figured that out.
