Pooky's Birthday

Probably one of the more ridiculous things we've done in recent years is to throw a little family birthday party for our cat. Now, this might not seem all that odd to you because a lot of people do this, but for us it's pretty weird. She was turning 10, though, so it seemed appropriate to acknowledge her birthday in some way. 

Her birthday landed on a Saturday (October 5th) so the girls and I decorated the front door with a banner and birthday balloon. We also got out the "Birthday Girl" hat to put on Pooky while we sang to her. Since I'm sure you're wondering, we coaxed Pooky out from under the bed with promises of treats and kept her by the door with...treats. The party lasted all of three minutes but the girls thought it was fun and Pooky got a few treats out of it.

cover her face for more than a fraction of a second.
