Thirteen years ago, she officially became my Tot.


In every way that matters. And bonus? It was Bluebell’s Birthday!

Our house celebrated exactly the way you’d expect us to.

Going to the bird spa to get nails, beak and wings upleveled.

A dramatic bird retrieval involving a net because Rio decided personal freedom mattered 

more than grooming.

Bluebell calmly accepting her tiny towel burrito spa treatment like royalty.

A full kitchen dance party with our honored guests.

Of course Coopy joining us.

We celebrated Tot later with some LOVE earrings, a watch to tell her ALL THE TIME how much I love her, and a few knick knacks.

Wild, loud, funny, tender love.

The kind that turns a little girl into your Tot forever.
