Good Morning Everyone!
Guess what day it is?
If you said International Skeptics Day, you’re right, but that’s not what I’m thinking of 🙂
Today is my Brown Dog’s birthday! She is 7. That means that she and I will be the same age this year. (I’ll let you figure the math :))
I think she would enjoy a rousing chorus of
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Stinky (yeah… she rolled in something awful yesterday and in spite of the bath is still a little odoriferous… which makes her very happy… have you noticed a theme here? :))
Happy Birthday to you!!!
And of course I will be making her a cake, so stop by later for a slice 🙂
Speaking of cake, which is sweet, reminds me that we haven’t done a Short & Sweet for a while, and what better time for inspiration than now?

In between navigating my basement by canoe and bailing (oh how do I love thee, unnatural January rain? Let me count the ways… uh, okay, maybe not :)) I persuaded my old computer to part with this picture of Baby Brown Dog.
In honor of her birthday, let’s think up stories for her to star in :))
You can think up a title, or an opening line, or a one sentence pitch or, if you’re really ambitious, all three!
I’ll go first.
Title: One, Two, Three! Play With Me!
Opening Line: One, two, three! Play with me! How many puppies do you see?
Pitch: A little brown dog wants to play, eat, play, walk, play, roll, and play some more, counting everything as she goes.
Now it’s your turn 🙂 Miss Brown says thank you in advance – she knows she will love your ideas to turn her into a literary star! 🙂
Have a marvelous Monday everyone! And don’t forget to stop by later for a slice of birthday cake (or two :))

I think you're in pretty good shape already 🙂
🙂
So clever to name them after the TKAM characters! And, yup, I'll be 50 in 4 months. :}
Such a cute pic! I hope your basement woes are better. Have you considered a puppy bathing center down there? 🙂
I know what you mean. 🙂
Well, I'll be 49 in 3, so we're actually less than a year apart 🙂
What an AWESOME idea Coleen! Why didn't I think of that??? 🙂
🙂 Apparently Monday wasn't the day… or Tuesday… Or, now that I think of it, today. But maybe tomorrow 🙂
And, really, since chronological age doesn't correspond to accomplishments, there's no benefit to being older. 🙂
But don't forget, older is wiser! 🙂
My family would laugh at that in my case. 😀
My family laughs at me anyway 🙂 Or rolls their eyes 🙂
I think your family and mine have taken lessons from the same place. 😀
Brown Dog's baby picture is precious! I want to jump right through my computer and come to NY to hug her!!!
I wish her a happy belated! Give her that hug from me 🙂
Thank you, Penny! Hug given! She sends you a very tidy dog kiss (she is not at all sloppy :)) in return and thanks you for the hug and for saying she's cute 🙂
🙂
