happy b-day, Nora.

It's a day late but yesterday was Nora's birthday, March 5th. She's now 2 years old. She still thinks she's the coolest and biggest dog around. Tiny body with a huge personality. I love her. She makes my days brighter.

This picture is a few months old but she hasn't changed much. With the exception of the fact that I did her last grooming so she's a little more uneven then in this picture. Not that anyone notices besides me. And no, she doesn't normally have a bow in her hair. This picture is right after a grooming. They put the bow in and she (or I) promptly take it out within a day or so. Although, I must admit, the bow is kinda adorable.

So happy birthday, Nora. We've officially made it through a year with no surgery. (Some of my past readers may remember my distress over her knee surgery when she was 8 months old) Knock on wood. Let's look forward to many years of no surgeries and maybe another little furry friend soon enough. Working at an animal shelter is not doing me any good in keeping me from getting another dog.

No birthday party this year. Nora doesn't have any puppy friends here. Maybe next year. Wherever we are then.

Happy Birthday, Nora!
