... uncle Reilly, auntie Justine and little Frankie were supposed to have joined us for a big dinner celebration but they could not make it in the end ...
... Mom and Dad were somewhat relieved (no more cooking to be done, yay !) ...
... time to go to bed but not before my special bone is thrown in for good measure ...

Sweet Eurydice, I must start this post with a Birthday Bark from some of your canine fans:
https://www.you.....5kVeY-GbJc
You have the best friends! I love how you knew the gifts from Uncle Andre and Auntie Dominique were for you. I love Auntie Evelyne’s sweet, loving voice and how she always says hi to Pitou. And that Pitou is so respectful. He’s a dear and seems to adapt so well.
Eurydice, you had a dog trainer? What? I figured you were a natural and trained your mom and dad. Wasn't it you who taught fun-loving Teresa the can-can?
Another great day in a great setting with wonderful life-long friends. You were the cutest puppy. Thanks for sharing your day.
Kisses and kitty cat licks,
Auntie Kerren, Eli and Mona
Happy happy birthday, beautiful Eurydice! I did not think I could be more in love with you but then your mommy had to bring out the puppy photos ... be still my heart!!
Wishing you sweet dreams of frolicks through the garden, endless treats and loads of cuddles! (Oh wait, that's real life for you!!)
Lovely celebration for a lovely lovey girl
Amy & Izzy

Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...
Hey Jim,
Thank you so much for your best wishes, I am trying really hard to follow Jerry's example and hang on with Mom for as long as possible, after all life is just great and every day is an exciting day so, nop, don't want to go anywhere soon ...
Kerren, Kerren,
Where did you find that wonderful birthday chorus ???
It is deliciously groovy and fun, me and Mom loved it !
Yes, I did have dressage classes since I was a puppy but I enjoyed every single one of them and there were always tons of other dawgs so it was always really fun.
Mom knew if she didn't train me this could be a problem vis a vis my size ...
Hey Amy,
I know ... I know ...
I was a really cute puppy, hey ???
Mom used to spend hours just looking at me sleeping at night and I could hear her sighing ...
Hey Clare,
No, nothing has changed in the past six years ...
Just like nothing has changed in Meg and Elsie Pie's lives ...
We are SO lucky to have wonderful, fun, loving Moms ...
Hey Holly,
That's a really fun birthday card, I already told Mom she could be inspired and invite other animals for my next pawty ...
I am sure I will love ALL of them and Mom will be thrilled to record it all !
THANK YOU ALL so much for cheering with me and being there and being the best friends a dawg could dream of having (plus Mom)
Sending you an avalanche of slobbery kisses (gasp) and tons of hugs from Mom
