Happy Birthday to you!

My beloved Buttercup is now 14 years old!

I have enjoyed his company immensely over those years, even when he was single-pawedly redefining the word "stubborn"! Not a day has gone by that he has not greeted me most enthusiastically. While getting out of been in the morning has grown more difficult for him...well, it has for me, too. And after all this time, I still find the sight of him curled up for a nap nothing short of adorable and worthy of grabbing the nearest camera!
