8/10/10- Last week we celebrated Homer’s tenth birthday. Homer spent his special day in the same way that he spends most of his days – being petted by anyone and everyone, eating innumerable dog cookies, and taking a refreshing swim in the lake. For his birthday dinner, Homer dined on a dish of cottage cheese, a treat that he only gets on holidays. Likewise, the crew snarfed down a Danish puff in the shape of a dog cookie to celebrate the day. -Meg
