05/28/2002: "Happy Birthday!"

Today was Indy’s 4th birthday, and he and Ami celebrated in fine style. Since Ami isn’t papered, I don’t know the exact date of her birth except that it was in May. Because DJ was born in May as well, we always celebrated both birthdays together. We will continue this tradition with Indy. Ami says that’s fine as long as she gets her share of the goodies. So, today we celebrated her turning 11.

Brenda had told me that Indy was accustomed to having an apple, carrot, oat mash topped with molasses for his birthday. Since Indy has become addicted to alfalfa cubes and applesauce since being here, I added those to the mix as well. I must say, he and Ami appeared to enjoy this concoction to the MAX. Then they came looking for more - sticky lips and all. Some people are never satisfied :o)

I had hoped for a nice, sunny day to take pictures. But noooooooo - we had to be overcast with the threat of scattered thunderstorms. While I was planning to take the Birthday Special Mash out in the afternoon, I decided to take my pictures at lunch - just in case. Good thing! By the time I started making the B’Day Special, we were in the midst of a thunderstorm, and it was still raining and quite dark by the time I actually went out. Not that Indy and Ami were in the least bothered, but it wouldn’t have made for very good photos.

Another birthday, another celebration, and a fine time was had by all. However, Ami DID remark that it’s not polite to ask a Lady her age!
