Happy First Birthday Kermit!

The Celebrant

Four days ago is an extra-special day because Kermit turned 1 year old. Household chores consumed my time in the morning; but in the afternoon I allotted it for Kermit—I gave her a bath, the hygiene that was postponed for two weeks because I have to fix a personal affair. No matter how much she hated water, I can tell she missed the refreshing feeling, cleaned, and good smell of herself.

For this special event, special guest are invited—first is Chuchie then the rest of her family. They enjoyed/feasted on “pansit”, a common food served in almost every Filipino occasion.

As I was filling up their dog bowl, they are barking (as always); but this time, because were celebrating Kermit’s birthday their barking can mean singing the Happy birthday song in different tone—some with annoying high pitch and others a bit low but irritating just the same. About the photo of pansit, I forgot to get my camera and take a shot before serving—what was left somewhat shows how gluttonous they are (well including me) and how good my mom cooks.

The Goody!

Pansit was just their snack. As I’m writing this in a piece of paper (The computer is unavailable at the moment; my sister turned it on, the moment she entered the room.) I can hear them barking or asking for their dinner which they usually have at 5:00 pm. I’ve mentioned the food, the guest, the celebrant, but a birthday is not without a b-day wish: Kermit might have wished for more dog walking, more treat, or more quality time.  Ever since the “Chies” arrived I spend less time with her. How can I equally divide my time for 5 pooches. Perhaps it should have been among my b-day wishes. Next year I’ll be a better event organizer--and most importantly, a financer.
