Free at last!!

I woke up this morning to find that the barricade came down! So THAT is my extra special birthday surprise! Wow! I can hardly believe it! I marched all over the yard, climbed the new burrow, and sniffed the entrance of the old one. Yep, it's really true: I am FREE AT LAST!!!



I am amazed that I am free to go in the old burrow. I wait and wonder: Am I still dreaming?



Then I explore the top of the new burrow, just to compare.



I also got a special birthday salad with a pink candle in it. Cool! I am loving this birthday business!! Who knew turning 45 could be so great?!!



After a soak and a snack (gained another 64 grams!), guess where I'm going? Yep, the old burrow still does it for me!!! This is my best birthday EVER!
