HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, BABY!

Poor Baby Pandora. Her 4th birthday was two weeks ago today, but I didn't mention it here, what with the tornado and Pippin being overnite at the vet's. Here is her Horoscope from Holiday Mathis:
"When you're hot, you're hot. You'll be chased and courted this year. You're not playing hard to get; rather, you have plenty outside of love to occupy your attention, so you actually are hard to get. This translates into financial opportunity in August. Family healings happen in September. Sagittarius and Aquarius are your avid supporters. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 2, 6, 49 and 14."
A couple days ago Pandora got what she needed most -- a butt cut. Of course she acted mortally wounded.
Here is Pippin's horoscope (May 8th):

"TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (MAY 8). You make your mark in the world this year. You're not content to be standing in the background, playing your family role or slaving away at work you don't even like. You're motivated to do what it takes to shine and move ahead this month. Shared activities in June heal a relationship. Sagittarius and Virgo adore and support you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 20, 1, 15 and 10."

We have only spent one of his six birthdays together, as I am usually in Puerto Rico then.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY

Today is baby Pandora's third birthday, as far as anyone can tell.

Holiday Mathis sez "you're sharing yourself on a whole new level and discovering fulfilling emotional intimacy with loved ones. Ask for what you need, and you get more and then some! You're a social butterfly during the next five weeks. Plant money ideas in July, and they grow by September. Travel in August. Sagittarius and Libra people wow you with affection. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 30, 23, 4 and 12."

Pippin's birthday was May 8: "This year will be unlike any other! Expect world-class breakthroughs and plenty of support for your ideas — spend the next eight weeks communicating them. If looking, career changes come together in August. You'll find romance at ordinary spots just around the corner. Cancer people are fabulous; Pisces people, arguably passionate. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 31, 35 and 41."

Unfortunately both were at the vet's for Pippin's birthday, they did get extra veggies when I got back. Today both of them are getting extra veggies.
