Happy Birthday!

What do you see in the picture below?

Do you see a No.9? In a short while, it will be 9 Sept.

The first time I took a close-up shot of a new Bird's Nest Fern  leaf uncurling was exactly one year ago.
How can I remember such a trivial matter?
(One guy told me that women remember everything whereas men remember only the important stuff.)
Anyway, I remember the date because 9.09.09 was printed on the picture below.

I realized the uncurling frond resemble the number 9 when I attempted to crop the photo. At that time I thought the date were in the way until I saw all the 9s.

Something else happened that day; 09.09.09.

An adorable white puppy with 9 black patches was born on 9.09.09. Do you want to guess his name?

Goldee adores her baby, allowing the little one to chew on her ear.

Clifford was delighted to have a baby brother.

Pichu, our Pomeranian was glad that he was no longer the smallest in size.

The two brothers always had a lot to share.

Running in a mushroom farm was one of his favourite pastimes.

Occasionally, he would smell the flowers.
Isn't he adorable?
Of course, he could just be smelling the scent left by other dogs on those flowers.

Today, he is exactly ONE year old. I am sure he is a Happy Boy.
He was adopted by a loving family last Christmas.

This post is dedicated to Mdm Chia and family.
Thank you for your love and care for this cutie pie.
Happy Birthday K9!!!
