The January Birthday Song Blues
Every year, our sweet rescue lab gets his hopes up for a birthday treat, only to be let down twice more by our family's birthdays.
This is the story of Moose, our rescue Labrador, and the accidental emotional rollercoaster we put him on every January. His shelter-assigned birthday is January 10th, which we celebrate with a special song and a treat. But my son's birthday is the 11th and mine is the 18th, leading to a whole lot of hope and disappointment for a dog who just wants a hamburger.
Lewis and the Midnight Shrieks
My sweet old rat started screaming at his brothers. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong.

One night he just started screaming at his cage mates, Pip and Squeak, and it's been a journey of worry, vet visits, and trying to make his golden years as peaceful as possible. I'm documenting what's happening and what we're trying, just hoping to get my sweet boy back.
