Awwwww, Miss Kyra! You're the baby of the family and it looks like you have them wrapped around your pawsies with the tennis ball game. Happy birthday to you, sweet girl. Your cleft palate story makes my eyes all leaky. Please have your humans give you some hugs for me for your birthday.

P.s. question, were you not able to be spayed because of anesthesia risk with your cleft palate? I could see why the vet might hesitate, would not want you to aspirate fluid into your lungs during the surgery due to the cleft. (i'm a nurse) Given that you still have the cleft I can understand why it might still be risky.

Hug, hug, hug, hug, hug for your birthday with many wishes for a long, healthy and happy life.
