“Hmmm. . . I know there was something special happening today. . . but what? Maybe if I sleep with my head on Elsie’s pillow I’ll think of it . . . “. “Mum, I appreciate that you turned on this doggie television for me, but that’s not it. . . hmmm. . . .special day. . […]

Whether you celebrate today or not, hope you enjoy the day and some time to relax with friends and family!
