Happy Birthday ^ to you ..... owwoooooo
Happy Birthday ^ to you ..... owwoooooo
Happy Birthday, ^ dear Percy ..... owwoooooooo
Happy Birthday ^ ^to you....   owwoooooo

Cyndi:  Thank you, Buddy, for singing backup.  Or ... whatever that howling was.

Merci:  And thank you, Jan, for providing comic relief with your high ^ squeaks.  You really need to take voice lessons before Cameron's special day.

Rusty:  Congratulations on reaching age 9, Percy.  There were times we weren't sure you were going to make it.  You've managed to get in almost as much trouble as Buddy has.

Cameron:  Yes, you definitely have to mellow a bit and stop trying to be top dog.  Er, cat.

Micah:  To be honest, you hated me so much when I came here, I didn't think I'd make it to your 9th birthday. But now you're my brother.

Buddy:  What can I say, pal?  You and I have long been the brunt of every cat and dog - and Jan's - jokes.  But that makes us the heart of this blog.

Sam:  Ahem!  Excuse me, but you've all been picking on me since I arrived.  What does that make me?  Buddy and Percy, stop whispering and speak up.

Buddy:  Um, well, Sam, Percy and I are guessing if we're the heart, that would make you the butt of the blog.  Sam ... uh, Sam, don't step on our paws, we're just kidding.

Percy:  Wow, I didn't realize you guys love me so much. Can I have seconds on my cake?

Cyndi:  Oh, Percy, I'm sorry; Jan forgot to get you a cake.  But you can feel honored.  At least she remembered your day and made you a new graphic.

Percy:  Well, no cake and no party.  Do I at least get to pop the balloons? 

Today is also Meet & Greet day at the K-9 Katastrophe's Blogville Chronicle.  Please stop by.  Spitty did an excellent write-up on Sparky Spitfire.  We hope it will inspire you dogs and cats to write a little for us about your own or another blog for us.
