All three of my Border Collies have made up Birthdays as they were all shelter dogs so I just use their gotcha days as their birthdays. Bozy was for sure born in June of 01 but I don't have the exact date. Cody is the only one that has a real birth date, 12/29. She'll be three.

I don't think anything of giving my pets a birthday.

I don't even remember the day I got them, I do know how old they are about tho.

yep, for the shelter pooches we take the age listed on the form, with the date on the form do some math and back date from there and stick it on the 1st day of that month, that is why both Ripley and Perky have bithdays that land on the 1st, Ripley we have on June 1st and Perkys on October 1st. Shadow's we did similer, we hadnt known how old she was when our neighbor found her wandering the back ally, we just guessed and chose the date of June 3rd as her birthday, in her case we chose the 3rd because 3 is my faverite number lol

the rest of my dogs b-days are very exact, for example Blair was the last in his litter born, he was not born till after midnight, making him born on augest 24th and not the 23rd like all his littermates lol

yes, Niņo, 8 months before the day we adopted him. Oslo has his on his pedigree, and Tigger doesn't have one. (She was born obviously but I don't reccognize it.

All we know about Winston and Piper's birthdays are the months, so we just say that their birthday is on the first of June and the first of May.

No one's birthday is certain except for Frisk's(Oct. 29th, 2000) & Don's(July 14th, 2006).. as they both came from a breeder.
Everyone else's is just made up to the closest estimate that we could find..

I know Missy and Laylas real birthdays. Lacey and Sassy as well as RB Mandy were made up by how old they were suppose to be, according to the shelter and/or vet. Say Sassy was approximately 6 weeks old when I found her, I went back on the calender 6 weeks and made that day her birthday. :)

Sadie's birthday we know for sure, Oct 26, 2000.

Cincy was close. We got her at 6 1/2 weeks old and she was born "sometime the middle of the week". Going backward, that Wednesday was Sept. 26, 2001.

Spot we got a 2 1/2 years old. We got some of his vet records from the shelter, and based on his weight changes, the vet estimated he was neutered at 6 months. This occured ~6 weeks before Sadie was spayed and she was spayed at 6 months, so we picked August 26, 2000 as his birthday, although it is more likey about 2 weeks later.

( We figured it was easiest to leave them all on the 26th to help remember)

When I adopted Cassie in 1997, the shelter told me she was about 18 months old. I celebrate her "gotcha" day, February 9, because I don't know exactly when she was born. There's an old adage, "Every day is children's day", and every day except my birthday and Christmas are Cassie's day at our house.

I don't know the actual birthday of any of my dogs.

Simba's was said to be around Christmas time, so we made it Christmas day.

Nala's was told to be around the end of January - February, so we made it February 7th, 8 weeks from the day we got her.

Kiara's was said to be early April, so we made it in honor of my grandmother, who passed away April 2nd.

Yes. I know Tia's as her breeder told us when they she and her siblings were born (10th March), but as for the gerbils, I took a rough estimate. They were 10 weeks old when we got them, so I figured that their birthday must have been about 9th July.

Mos of my animals were rescues, so Yes i have made up their birthdays, be it the day they came to my home, or a best guess estimate. Dukes Bithday is april 20th, and Loki's is august 10th. :)

Yup. I counted back exactly 8 weeks from the day I got Mocha & Missy, even though I was told they were about 8 weeks old when I got them.

I only know Muffin's birthday for sure :)
