Birthday Preparation

I've taken a day off from blogging because I was just feeling so tired. Thank heavens, today after work, I came home with a little energy left to devote to my Bruiser. Tomorrow, January 25th, Bruiser turns one. I know he is a dog but I waited so long for him that, to me, he is much more than just a dog. I've taken his birthday portrait and when I get a little help from my kids, I'll post it. Today, I've made some bulldog shaped chocolate lollipops that I may take to school and share with my kids. They all know about Bruiser and feel as though they know him. If I could, I would take Bruiser in for a visit but I don't want some of the kids to get frightened. He is gentle as a lamb but he is young and his look can be deceiving. Yesterday, I went out and purchased some doggie presents. Tomorrow after work I'll make him a special cake that is vet and doggie approved. Tonight after dinner, if I get the chance, I may make bulldog shaped cookies. God bless ebay for selling anything you can think of. I would be lost without it!
My wish for everyone today is that you all find joy wherever you can. Find joy in the little things. Find joy in your family, your job....especially in your pets. I find joy in Bruiser and may you all be as lucky.

Hey! How about some of those choc. pops for the staff!! You know what room to come to first.
Pets are a big part of the family. My Brandi waits for me to come home every day and wants to lay next to me no matter what room i'm in. Every night Simba wait for me to settle down, in the den, so that he can curl up on me and purr himself and me to sleep. Talk about unconditional love! May you all enjoy the special day tomorrow.
