Luna’s birthday is somewhere around this time (I don't remember exactly when), and I wanted to take a moment and talk about all that she has done this past year:
-Luna got out of the back yard. It is the only time she has ever done it, and it wouldn’t have been overly significant except that she got out on a marathon day. Every marathon in Springfield routes past our house. On that day, marathoners were met with an overexcited, 95-pound dog, running out to greet them.
-Luna got arrested. This is what happens when you jump up on marathoners. The cops just happened to be in the neighborhood on a domestic disturbance call, and I guess they heard people shrieking in terror down the street. When we discovered Luna was gone and got in the car to go look for her, we found her sitting nicely with two cops who had just tied a rope to her collar.
-Luna got fleas. This was the first time she’s ever had a problem, and boy did she have a problem. They took over our lives for a while.
-Luna had a bath. Lots of baths actually. Because of the fleas. She got more baths over this past summer than she has during the rest of her life put together.
-Luna got allergies. This is another first for her. She has never had trouble before. Now, she digs up her face, really badly. It's rather sad.
-Luna started taking steroids. See above entry for explanation.
-Luna discovered that cats also fit into the “I love jumping on small animals” category.
-Luna got robbed. A lot. By a small dog who snuck under the fence to steal Luna’s bones.
-Luna discovered that she LOVES mud, and running in it, and making pretty paw prints on the kitchen floor with it.
There’s so much more, but I shall stop and just say: Happy Birthday, Luna!
