To the Nines

Despite being threatened earlier in the week that she would be hauled off to the sausage factory ("to eat sausage, mama?" asks Lucy innocently), Greta has managed to make it to nine years old!

Our little Greta was number nine in her litter, so it was most appropriate to celebrate her ninth birthday in serious fashion. A vanilla-bean cake-- forget those dog-friendly confections that taste like cardboard-- was wonderfully decorated by Mary and Lucy with dog-bone shaped sprinkles.

While Greta was cautious about the candles, as soon as they were extinguished by her singing sisters, she was delighted to learn that the cake was for her consumption! And, so were those singing sisters!

Happy Ninth Birthday to our favorite number nine!

Happy Birthday to the Grey-Dog! I admit, there were days I thought it might be optimistic to think of either of us making it to 9 and 10!
oxoxo
Trout and his keepers!
