(There was supposed to be a long and lovely blog post celebrating my Mom on her birthday, but every attempt I made came somewhere between a Hallmark knock-off and an obituary &#8212; I never did get a draft I liked enough to publish.  Maybe for her next birthday! I don&#8217;t need fancy words to tell you, though, that my Mom is my best friend and the best mother a girl could ever hope to have.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/5477942794\/\" title=\"64:365 Happy Birthday Granny! by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5058\/5477942794_28eef2db94.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"64:365 Happy Birthday Granny!\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Because it was one of those milestone birthdays, I wanted to do something special to celebrate.  Mom chose a girls&#8217; night out at the local casino, just her and me.  Isn&#8217;t she awesome?

My parents adopted him a couple of weeks ago from a shelter.  He&#8217;s exactly what he looks like:  big and kinda dumb but absolutely lovable.  He&#8217;s also been a fantastic influence on Beau, my other dog brother &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/danigirl.ca\/blog\/2010\/06\/12\/the-great-escape-2\/\">remember him<\/a>, the one who was completely asocial and escaped to lead me on a barefoot chase through Barrhaven at 6:30 one June morning last year?  Beau has come miles farther into being a normally socialized dog in the couple of weeks since Bubba arrived than he did in a year of love and patience with my folks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/5486921559\/\" title=\"67:365 Bubba by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4081\/5486921559_308f95ff40.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" alt=\"67:365 Bubba\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Snow.
