✨ I was tempted to fake some sort of amazing looking event today but then thought of all the extra work that would take to make a poster, build a website etc etc so the lame April Fool’s joke didn’t seem worth it.
Instead, here’s a picture of our dog Daisy, who will be celebrating her 17th birthday today. 🎂
We adopted her from Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home 16 years ago today when she was an estimated year old. She’s the best! 🐾
