Judge (an askal, meaning street dog), our only pet left after the death of his mother, Attorney II, turned six on Christmas eve.
He was a surprise gift on Christmas day 6 years ago when the boys and I arrived from a staycation in a nearby hotel.
His mother, Attorney II, started giving birth the day before. Son #3 assisted her, as she was a first-time mom at age seven. Just before midnight, while we were away, our househelper said Attorney II birthed two more--Judge was one of them.
My sister Aie, who is spending the Christmas break with us, gifted Judge with a birthday present that she bought from Paw It Forward, a group composed of animal lovers who raise funds to donate to shelters that care for stray and rescued animals all over the country.
How do they do it? They sell various merchandise, among which are bracelets and necklaces with the logo featuring a black paw and a white paw. This is what we read on the their FB page:
Every Dog deserves a chance to have a better lifeBe the change you want to see in the world
So what did Judge get as a birthday gift? Two paws . . .
in a dainty necklace that he gratefully and gracefully accepted (he didn’t move when the necklace was being put around his neck) bought from a group concerned about caring for homeless animals, many of which are abused and abandoned by their owners.
Our beloved Judge was petted to the max on Christmas Day.
Happy 6th birthday, Judge!
