Happy Birthday to Me

Hello all, Shanti here pinch hitting for mom. It's my birthday today, and I'm nine. Mom made me walk around the yard and pose, and sit and pose, and I had to look at her and pose...sheesh! 
Mom adopted me in February 2008 from a family who couldn't keep me anymore. I used to live in a small home with 3 small children and 3 adults. I had a teeny yard and had nowhere to run and play. Now my home has the hugest yard I ever saw! And I have loads of bunnies to chase and a frisbee to fetch. Mom even takes me swimming - maybe we'll go today!
