Happy birthday …

… to me! Well, not exactly. Today is the day Those Two arbitrarily chose to celebrate my birthday. That’s because when they adopted me in 2012, my birth records were a little vague, and the best guess was that I was born in March 2011. Those Two decided on the 26th because 26 is our street address.

My, what a crazy seven years it’s been! Birthdays are always a time for reflection, and I know some humans don’t like to engage in it. I’m not sure what they’re afraid of. To me, each year is an opportunity to have some more fun, just like the previous year. Where they see the end of something, I see the beginning.

As the saying goes, when one drawer closes, another opens.

What? That’s not quite right? Oh well, close enough … you get the idea. A happy day to all of you, too!

  1. Dear Mr. Oxbow, I wish you a most Happy Birthday!!! Whatever day you were born doesn’t matter. It was the day your forever Mamas selected for your special day. There is no question you have brought love, devotion and a great deal of humor into their lives. Your blog has most certainly brightened my day with your wry sense of humor and pithy observations. I for one, wish you many happy more bdays on March 26th to celebrate your arrival into our lives.
