White Dog filled me in. "I already talked to Bailey and this is her birthday dinner request: a deli turkey sandwich like dad makes; radish, cucumber, cherry tomato salad with bleu cheese dressing; salmon kibble with cottage cheese; and for dessert, cheesecake...oh, and a fermented chicken foot."

"Is that all?" I asked. "It is not too demanding but I wonder how she remembered we had those chicken feet in the freezer." White Dog laughed. "Every time dad opens a door or lid in the kitchen SOME member of the WDA takes an inventory. We even know about the beef liver that you are saving to make liver, eggs and quinoa for us as a surprise." "I guess it won't be much of a surprise."

Happy 10th Birthday to The White Dog Army's Blue-Eyed Peace Keeper and All-Round Mellow Girl. May you always shelter us with your calm and fill out hearts with joy with your joie de vie. You are a blessing.

And consider the little nosh you had early this morning on the new ottoman rug a birthday pass that get you out of trouble THIS time!

Not one but TWO chicken feet because Bailey knew the answer to the prize question: How feet does a chicken have?

The Birthday Girl, Bailey

Bella had fun gnawing a bit and swinging her chicken foot around before giving it to Bailey as a gift...actually, I think she was not quite sure what else to do with it. Such was not the case at cheesecake time!
