I’m so pleased to have reached the grand old age of eight years on June 15th, 2013. After all, my dad says that pets are "seniors at seven", so I guess I'm now a senior plus one.
After having previously endured three bouts of typically fatal Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA), I’m actually feeling better than ever thanks to the holistic wellness plan my veterinarian/dad has created for me.
For my eighth birthday, I had the cool experience of meeting another animal who looks like a much taller version of me having a longer neck: an alpaca. I was so psyched to meet him at the one year anniversary celebration of the Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center (SPARC) that I was jumping for joy. He sniffed my ears and let me reciprocate. I have a new-found love of this species and wish I could have hang out with him for the rest of the day.
I look forward to this next year of exciting experiences and will keep you updated on all my adventures viaCardiff’s Crunchies Facebook page.
