BIRTHDAY BOY!

Sen-Chan: Yes, this is it! Today, JULY 9,  is my FIRST BIRTHDAY! #1 started off the day by singing Happy Birthday to me in bed, which was a thrill, and she tells me I am going to get even more cuddles than usual, plus lots of playtime with Cat Dancer and Dragonfly. And most exciting of all, we are having a party this evening! Some of my most fervent admirers are coming over for Champagne, a barbecue and birthday cake!

Anyway, as it is my birthday, I thought this would be a good opportunity to introduce my parents to you.

Here is my Mummy, APELSINAM WAHRAN:

And here is my Daddy, CFA CH APELSINAM'S BOUCKAHRA

As you can see, both my Mummy and Daddy are ruddy Abys but they obviously were hiding some lovely red genes so they could produce me!

And perhaps a little reminder of me when I was tiny:

And here is my official first birthday photo:

Tom: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIG BROTHER! It is such a thrill to share my life with you and, having seen you make so many trips to the vet and take so many foul-tasting potions over the months with total courage and dignity, I cannot tell you how happy I am to see you looking big and strong and so NAUGHTY on your first birthday! WOOF!!!!!!
