a very, very special day

my name is bailey.

i know, i know, i am very cute.

and yes, i am wearing a life jacket. 

my family loves to take me out on their boat,

and i suppose us dachshunds are not renowned as

being skilled swimmers;

or so people say.

today is my birthday.

i am turning 11, which you could argue is getting old.

but i consider myself young at heart.

i still have lots of energy,

enjoy going for walks,

and love playing with other pups.

however, i am perfectly content taking long naps,

or sitting on my mom's lap.

so in honor of today, happy birthday to me!

here's to hoping i get some extra food at dinner,

or maybe even a bone?

a girl can dream.

xoxo,

bailey.
