eight!!!

as i was lying in bed lastnight waiting for chicken to wake up and scream his head off, i was thinking about the date... tomorrow (today) was the 27th, which meant that a certain cockapoo named pennywenny would be turning eight!!!

last year i totally forgot about her birthday until the evening, and i was so guilt ridden that i had to run out and get her some presents and frosty paws. this morning, she was super clingy and i couldn't figure out why... until i was halfway to work... i. had. forgotten. to. wish. her. a. happy. birthday. AGAIN.

i called c to tell her to immediately shower pennywenny with some birthday love. and felt terrible that i hadn't done it myself.

pennywenny is truly girl's best friend. she is loyal and intelligent and cuddly and always there to cheer me up. we understand each other. and i am so very thankful for every single day with her.

happy 8th birthday, girl.
