Thirteen and a half<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A very happy thirteen and a half birthday to Shadow and to her brother Rocky who lives in Germany. Shadow is planning to spend her birthday quietly at home. Ari and I are planning to make it a little noisier, but she\u2019s deaf, she won\u2019t know that. She has been doing better again for the last few days and we\u2019re all hoping that will continue for a while. Thirteen and a half is a good age for our breed. In human terms that\u2019s around 94 \u00bd, which is pretty good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, because she has such dietary problems she won\u2019t be celebrating with anything fancy. I\u2019ve offered to have steak and ice cream on her behalf but I just got glared at for that suggestion. She\u2019s having a little turkey and says that is quite fine by her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photo Shoot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mum tried very hard to do a Shadow\u2019s half birthday photo shoot with us all. The first problem is that when Ari and I are together Shadow is very reluctant to stand anywhere near us. The second problem was that even if Mum is only a few feet away Shadow feels the desperate need to move toward her so won\u2019t stay in line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then was the problem of us smiling with our eyes open while facing into the sun. That one didn\u2019t go well \u2013 at least not all at the same time. That saying about not working with animals or children \u2013 definitely seems to be true when Mum tries to get all three of us. I\u2019m the easy one. If there\u2019s a treat on offer I\u2019ll do absolutely anything that\u2019s asked of me \u2013 and I do mean anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the best of the pictures Mum took. They\u2019re pretty good by our usual standards even of they weren\u2019t what Mum was hoping for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
