Like the "anniversaries of the heart" that I wrote about in a previous post, birthdays always make us aware of passing years - whether it's your own birthday or someone else's. Today is Tobi and Teddi's fifth birthday; I can hardly believe that it's been five years since Sue and I had to be "midwives at midnight" when Tamba surprised us by producing a litter of kittens. But yes, it's true: I really have been living in Spain for five years now.
It's amazing to think of all that has happened in those five years - things that I never expected (including having a household of cats!) In honour of the birthday, we've uploaded a new video to YouTube - a compilation of twenty of the tricks that Teddi has learned since we started our new hobby, just after his birthday last year. Not to be outdone, Tobi (who's been rather disdainful of trick training in general), performed some acrobatic tricks of her own this morning - climbing all the way up the patio gate in search of some spider or other life form on the roof of the house! Happy Birthday Tobi and Teddi, Timmy and Pickles!
