And The Mud turns four, with his tail



Today is Muddy's 4th birthday. Along with his tail, he will spending the day as usual - happy.

He is so different than Huck. He is a goofball. We joke that he needs a crash helmet.

While Huck has entered the Grandpa stage, Mud gets up every day–with his tail–and he and his tail go about joyously, no matter if it is drinking water, running, sitting, yawning or eating. He even sleeps, upside down, and if you walk by he doesn't open his eyes, but his tail wags.

He and his tail do it in a frequency so exuberant that one can only admire the twosome. Tonight we are going to light a candle stuck in a buttercup squash and wish him well. He loves pumpkins, but the gas that emanates from him after he consumes one is so overwhelming that we are opting for his second favorite–squash.

So Happy Birthday to The Mud, MudHuck, Mud, My Muddy....and his tail...you can't have one without the other.
