White Dog shook her head and smiled. "Our Itty Bitty Baby Girl has grown into a fine, well-mannered Princess, She still has her moments but she did at last grow into those ears." WD and I were finalizing the celebration meal of Zsofia's favorites, coconut curry shrimp, fried rice, broccoli, and cauliflower. Dessert, of course, is cheesecake.

We scrolled through photos while the others supervised Steve as he made WDA meals for the next month. In our house "supervising" requires ample sampling. White Dog laughed, "I hope they don't all spoil their appetites for dinner." I looked at her, eyebrows raised. "Is that even possible?"

After dinner we will enjoy movie night with the volume extra loud and the house shuttered against fireworks. popcorn will help keep everyone focused on the film.

Where have six years run, we wonder. This is Our Darkest White Dog's Sixth Birthday. As the Army gathered and sang, "Long may you run! You are loved and cherished. Thank you for all the sensitivity, smiles, laughs, and gentleness you share...and thanks from momma especially for NOT being one of those Sibes who routinely take to the road in escape adventures."
