This week it’s Timothy’s 12th birthday and he has four special pictures to share – which will appear on the website on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (his actual birthday).

Timothy’s friend Simone baked him a birthday cake – complete with a paw on the top – so how can that not be the first birthday week photo?  Thanks Simone!

Timothy is, of course, the model dog in terms of manners and discipline.  He was happy to pose with the cake for the photos – without touching it.

Why bother touching it, anyway?  He’d only get messy.  Much better to leave it for the staff to cut the cake into smaller pieces, and serve it on a small plate.
