Today is my 5th birthday. According to my birth certificate, which lists my parents, grandparents, etc. back to the fourth generation, I am the last in a long, prestigious line of red & apricot toy poodles.
However, documents may be forged, no? Mama informs me that I'm too tall and too portly to be considered a toy poodle. So, from this day forward, just call me Miniature Mercury Murphy Roushanzamir.
Surely each birthday evokes a certain amount of self examination along with concerns about identity: toy/miniature, nurture/nature, culture of origin/adopted culture, and so on.
But equally if not more importantly, birthdays bring Gifts & Presents. I love gifts & presents. And I appreciate them, each and every one. Presents should be wrapped in tissue paper, preferably tied up with a pretty ribbon. I love gift wrapping and I appreciate each gift and present wrapping (and unwrapping). It is so sweet that my friends and fans, my Maman et Papa, grandmere et granpere are thinking of me on my birthday; and should you need just a bit of assistance in the gifts & presents department, read on.
My birthday list:
Handmade doggie IQ-test toy (real wood)
Doggie Casino Brainy Board Game
ARFgyle Dog sweater (for celebration when the hideous heat & humidity ends)
Eco dog personalized place mat
Dream Dog toy
Meteorite LED ball dog toy
May your day on this, my birthday, be as happy as mine is and continues to be. Cheers from your friend on my special day with many happy returns of this day for us all.

Mercury, I am inspired by your tres chic list of birthday suggestions. Melinda never notes my birthday at all! The girl just does not know how to party. But this year, I will just have to put my paw down and demand that she shape up.
Happy Birthday, 'Cuz (?) !!!
Lucy
