Did you make up any of your pets birthdays?

We know Shadow's and Kyra's birthdays for sure.

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
