Aw…I don’t know how to make anything on here. If I was where you are, I could draw you a picture (old-school with a pen!) I can only wish you the most happiest of birthdays, and note that we’ll all be together soon where birthday wishes can be shared properly!

My dog Scout got pretty well jumped at the dog park, but loads of folks ran to help petting and soothing her. (I got Scouty from the kill shelter. She had a rough start at life and is very submissive.) Went home after, and played in the yard. You guys will meet Scout this summer. She will lick you.
