Happy birthday to Ashley

[vilakins]

We're not sure exactly how old Ashley is, but going by the vet's estimate she's now one year old, and rates a new grown-up icon. I did consider setting her birthday to be the same as mine, which would also make her exactly three months older than Jasmin (who was born on 28 July), but decided that was unfair as I'm usually out celebrating. So we

Aw they're all so adorable.

Happy birthday to Ashley!

They are! I love them to bits, and they make me very happy.

They're very snuggly.

Sooooo cute!

That icon is too, and looks rather like her!

It was made by sallymn if I recall correctly. I've been considering replacing it with one based on one of my photos of Tessa or Claudia, just because I prefer using icons I've made myself, but I'm also aware that I probably wouldn't manage to make one as cute.

[vilakins]

I thought you'd made it! I do like it a lot.

[astrogirl2]

So pretty!

[vilakins]

LOL at your icon!

The XKCD cartoon it comes from is almost painfully accurate. :)

[vilakins]

Oh, it is! I remember that one. :-P

I keep asking them questions I know they won't answer. A post in linguaphiles had research that mothers in all cultures do that to stimulate speech. [hangs head in shame] It's not going to work, and the fact that I have any maternal instinct at all is just unnerving.

Aw, lovely pics. I really like the top one' you can see their pretty faces and gorgeous fur so clearly.

[vilakins]

Ashley's fur is so soft and luxuriant. Jasmin's, like all Burmese, "a bricj wrapped in silk" - heavier than Ashley and very muscley and solid, but her fur's getting thicker and softer. They're both so cuddly and cute.

Happy Birthday Ashley! The top photo is definitely a winner. :^)

And so is Ashley! She had a lovely weekend, full of tuna and extra cuddles! :-)
