Paula says "Thanks!" to all the birthday well-wishers! She is napping next to a new chew bone, and later she will get a plush goose that honks! (My nickname for Paula is "Goose.")
Karen - Thanks; you have brought a smile to my face with the story of your dane. Our Paula had so much black on her face when we got her 1 1/2 years ago - now the black on her muzzle is quickly turning to white (people always ask us if she is older). Your uplifting tale has let me see that Paula still has many youthful years ahead!
