Our beloved dog Ollie is 11 years old today. He will be getting fresh-cooked chicken for dinner later, and some extra treats. He has a present of a soft toy birthday cake too, which he loves!
Julie has also bought him a ‘canine-edible birthday card’. (The things you can find online these days!) It smells of bacon, but he won’t eat it. He definitely does not associate rice paper with food.
Baby Ollie. His first photo.

He posed for a dog-walking friend, Michele. She used her phone held low down, so he didn’t recognise it as a camera. 🙂

(1) Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, so Ollie has the same birthday as Abe. Honestly, he does!

I didn’t know that, but would not have called Ollie Abraham. He had to be named after an English historical person, one who came from the East of England, where Ollie was born. Hence Oliver Cromwell Johnson, his full name. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

A rice paper birthday card that smells of bacon. My goodness, what a novel idea, Pete. I am glad Ollie is having a good day.

It’s a good idea, but he flatly refuses to eat it, Robbie. Paper and food does not compute for Ollie.
