Azuki’s Second Birthday

27 September we observed Azuki Dingus‘s second birthday. Being a rescue, no one knows her exact birthday but as she seemed to be about four months old when she left the pound in late January 2020, this is when her birthday is traditionally observed. Of course Alan was there. At the end, there’s a pig cake because Azuki loves dirt and was born in the year of the pig!
