Today is Rosie's first birthday. A lovely if somewhat windy April day in
Northern California.

Many happy returns! How time flies, it seems like you only just told us
about bringing her home.

As most one years olds are, Rosie is shall we say easily amused. This
afternoon she was intent on watching the next door neighbor kids playing
in
their yard with a new puppy. (DH was in sitting on the patio observing)
Sitting very still at the corner of the house with only her head moving
back
and forth to watch.

That is until her big brother Jake quietly gets up from where he has been
sleeping under the hedge and quietly and unobserved walks behind her. And
reaches out one paw to tap her on the butt.

Charlie said she jumped about three feet straight up.

ROFL! Poor baby, what a fright! I hope she got many cuddles and birthday
treats to make up for that. ;o)
