Today is Miss O-Ren’s fourth birthday!

Since she was a stray, we don’t technically know when her “real” birthday is, so we just celebrate her birthday on her adoption day. Which makes today Little Missy’s three-year adoption anniversary, too!

Here’s our teeny tiny bundle the day we brought her home, kennel cough and all. Such a scrawny little girl, she was.

I guess she gets cheated like that, as do most of our babies (Ralphie and Peedee are the only two who get to celebrate both their birthdays and their anniversaries - lucky SOBs), but we spoil her the rest of the year, so that more than makes up for it. Besides, her date of adoption may as well be her birthday - ’twas the first day of the rest of her life, right?

She’s just the picture of total dog bliss nowadays:

Happy birthday, my little Lady Bug.

By the by, do your stacked celebrations mean that I get to dress you up in double the outfits today? Oh joys!
