My birthday girl is seven-years-old! Seven, sassy and such a blessing to us. A unicorn cake was requested for this birthday, and thanks to the talented ladies at Kirsten’s Danish Bakery in Burr Ridge, Emily had quite the cake, complete with a golden horn, a mane of beautiful flowers and don’t you think… about a big as Emily’s head?! How could it be that we don’t have a refrigerator full of leftover cake? But we don’t, we ate every single morsel. Yum. Double yum.  But as magnificent as that cake was, and the balloons and the presents, it’s that sweet little kitty that she’ll forever remember receiving for her 7th birthday. And that makes this mom so happy. So happy that she’ll grow up with a special friend that she’ll spend countless hours reading to, telling all of her secrets to and turning to when she needs that little extra something that only a pet can provide. I hope Emily and Daisy are together for a long, long time.
