baby puppy is seven

Okay, NOW Kaweah is really seven years old! [Last year we told everyone she was seven and then Carrie emailed me and said Kaweah couldn’t be seven because Hailey is older than Kaweah – and then we all determined that I am a dipshit.] Today is her birthday!! When we got up this morning, she was running around shaking the plush elliptical focal mechanism toy in her mouth and parading about the house. I guess she does that every morning, but I convinced myself that she somehow knew it was her birthday (prolly not). For dessert tonight, she was given her favorite ice cream in the world – ANY ice cream!


she knows it is for her when we hold it 2 feet above the ground

without opposable thumbs or a vice, an owner’s hand will do to keep the ice cream in place


Work today wasn’t so productive workwise because everyone had sugar in their systems. We surprised our boss after our meeting with the cheesecake and the truffles.



I realized upon tasting a small sliver of the cheesecake that I need to cook it for far less time to achieve the typical silky texture. This one was fluffy and light – which is not how it should be. But everyone seemed to be thrilled that it was homemade cheesecake. Now the truffles, I will admit, were exactly how I thought they should be. Boss woman was very happy and hugged us all. Then the rest of the members of the meeting told me when their birthdays were… Our vendors and other business partners have been sending giant tins of cookies, brittle, and cake to our office. Candy is flowing from every possible corner. I’ve seen the gym busier than ever (two of us working out at the same time!!).
