Today was the birthday of a dear friend of mine. Her name is Ziti. She is not only a friend, but a co-worker of mine. Yes, she is another bless-ed soul who has the pleasure of working at the Honey House. Today we had a party for Ziti and let me tell you something. It was magical. When we lit those 2 birthday candles on her venison and sweet potato cupcake, we had to grab hold of her leash so she wouldn't get too excited and eat the fire! We sang the 4 birthday songs that we always do for birthdays at the Honey House, and I think I saw a tear of gratitude and joy trickle over her fur and down a whisker. It was touching. You see, Ziti isn't what we would call "social." In fact, you could say she's outright terrified of humans. I'm pretty sure her previous owners weren't as kind to her as we Honey House workers are. But today as we placed that birthday crown on her head and serenaded her and took pictures of her in front of her cupcake, I could just tell that she knew that we knew that we love her. Dog is a man's best friend, right?
Okay, so a couple things went through my mind when I read this. Love for you, and your wit. Excitement that you are in fact going to be here in just a few days time. Horror, that any parent would name their poor child Ziti, and relief to find that it is in fact a dog. It's fine. Thanks for keeping up the suspense. I heart you.
