April Having a Happy Birthday

It is April's birthday today. I bought a stuffed toy for April yesterday, on behalf of all the dogs at home. It was a cute, long, stuffed dachshund. We gave the toy to April this morning. She seemed to enjoy it somewhat, but only sat there with it without playing. I stepped in and made sure the toy was played with on its premiere in our house. There is no use having toys if they are not played with. (Paula thought that I was jealous of the toy, therefore taking it, but this is not true. If April would have made proper use of the toy, I would never have needed to take care of it.)

Paula's sister Mia and Mia's boyfriend Emil came by in the afternoon and we had a barbecue in the sunny weather. It was fun and there was a lot of chicken meat to all dogs.

Over all, Paula was right when she said in the evening that it had been a lucky day. This was nice for April on her birthday. However, our luck ran out later in the evening when Paula was going to work. She had a flat tyre and Daniel had to go to take care of the car while Mia gave Paula a ride to work. It is no fun when they leave us dogs alone at home. I cannot believe such an unlucky event would occur on my birthday.
