Happy Birthday, Dalton!

 Today we celebrate Dalton's Birthday!

We really don't know when his real BD is, so we gave him this day, the day he got picked up as a stray, and began the first day of the rest of his life. Sounded good enough! He was gotcha'd by us  several weeks later, after he was pulled from the overcrowded Texas shelter, and came to the ROAR group here in our area.

He's come a long way since getting here in 2017, its been a rollercoaster of various behavioral issues, but we love him anyways, just the way he is. If he doesn't or can't unload his 'baggage', then so be it...but Grrs and bites to the ones who obviously abused him in his earlier life...

Anypaws, we have him at 8, the vet has him at ten, so who knows how old he really is! He does look a lot more grizzled in his face and ear tips than when he first arrived...and he's even lost a few teeth, I found one on the carpet a couple weeks ago, the vet looked in his mouth and confirmed it, but didn't think he needed any dental work at this point. Said his choppers were actually in pretty good shape!

Anyways, here is his birthday card that I made for him...we'll 'pawrty' later!

Happy Birthday, Dalton!

  1. Dearest Ingrid,
    Congrats to Dalton's special day, on which he entered a loving home with people he could trust.
    It is so heartbreaking what some pets and other animals have had to endure at the hand of human cruelty.
    They never will forget and we probably don't want to know its true content...
    May there be many more special days for Dalton and his family!
    Hugs,
    Mariette + Kitties
