Guess what day it is?
If you said International Skeptics Day, you're right, but that's not what I'm thinking of :)
Today is my Brown Dog's birthday! She is 7. That means that she and I will be the same age this year. (I'll let you figure the math :))
I think she would enjoy a rousing chorus of
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Stinky (yeah... she rolled in something awful yesterday and in spite of the bath is still a little odoriferous... which makes her very happy... have you noticed a theme here? :))
Happy Birthday to you!!!
And of course I will be making her a cake, so stop by later for a slice :)
Speaking of cake, which is sweet, reminds me that we haven't done a Short & Sweet for a while, and what better time for inspiration than now?

In honor of her birthday, let's think up stories for her to star in :))
You can think up a title, or an opening line, or a one sentence pitch or, if you're really ambitious, all three!
I'll go first.
Title: One, Two, Three! Play With Me!
Opening Line: One, two, three! Play with me! How many puppies do you see?
Pitch: A little brown dog wants to play, eat, play, walk, play, roll, and play some more, counting everything as she goes.
Now it's your turn :) Miss Brown says thank you in advance - she knows she will love your ideas to turn her into a literary star! :)
Have a marvelous Monday everyone! And don't forget to stop by later for a slice of birthday cake (or two :))
