…or else: Hera’s 5th “Gotcha Day”!
5 years ago, this day, we adopted the Queen of our hearts:
Hera!
You can check last year’s Gotcha Day here: Hera’s ‘ 4th Gotcha’ day…

Hi all,
this is Hera!
I invite all my friends
to join me
for a special celebration!
[okay, don’t mind mom and her silly hat she made me wear! Weird humans, but whatever, I likem with their flaws.]

This is me waiting for my Birthday Cake…

C’mon mom, stop taking pictures and gimme that cake!!!!!

Well?
Good grief, they’re both singing to me now!!!!!!
Oh, there it is!!!!!!!

Yum yum….

…lemme lick up the floor [mom likes it clean!]
Oh, look, a new toy too!!!!

Now you see me, now you don’t!!!!!

Party! Yayyyyyyy!!!!!!!

🐾
The fairy godmother who brought Hera to our home was Giota Brakoumatsou [Γιώτα Μπρακουκάτσου photo] from Pitbull Rescue.gr. Goes without saying, we are forever grateful to her and she has our undivided love! ❤️
🐾
To anyone who’s thinking of bringing a dog into their family, please adopt! Shelters all over the world are full of beautiful doggies [or cats] who need a forever home and wait for the right family to give them their FULL and UNCONDITIONAL love! In other words:
Adopt Don’t Shop!
Mom just said that Sir Paul is also celebrating with me today, so I asked her for a dedication!
Here it is!
Happy Birthday to you too, Sir Paul!

Cute! 😉
We agree! 🐾🦴🐾🦴🐾🦴🐾 Treats for you! 😉
I’m just a dog without a bone! 😆
Not a anymore! Hera’s treating all her friends! 😉🦴🤣
ha ha … no words… just dog talk… 🐶🐕🐶😀😹
Yay, or should I say, woof!….. 😉
yam yam… I’m actually more of a cat person, myself! 😺🙂
You understand of course we can’t reapond with a meow!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Oh, I thought you were bilingual! 😆😆😆😺🐶🤩
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂
Reminds me of when I took piano lessons at the Royal Conservatory as a kid… two of the Grade One or Two pieces that I liked were called “The Sleepy Kitten” and “The Playful Pup”! 😆😇🤩
No wonder you’re bilingual! 😉🤣🐾
Ha ha. Gosh I was so embarrassed. My first recital I played those two pieces. Meanwhile younger kids were ripping off Bach and Brahms! I got a bit of a late start.. and it all ended when my teacher snapped at me about my timing. OVER. DONE. FINISHED. No more lessons or recitals! (and my Mom had just written a check for the next set of lessons… $$$ gone!). 🙂🙃🙂
Oh, noooooo……..
Stupid teacher!
At around 7 they had me solo in a chorus and always made sure there were no glasses around!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hahaha… I guess with your depth, going back to the ancient temples, and so on, you could really shake things up! 😅😅😅🙂🤩😇
A ha ha haaaaaaaaaa…… 🤣🤣🤣
So delightful Marina 🐶❣️
Thank you, my dear Hedy! Hera sends love and treats!!!! 🧡🐾🦴🧡🦴🐾🧡

Happy Birthday, Hera! I could hear the party from the other side of the world – so much love and happiness brings magic to the world. I found the party by following the music and laughter, and was guided by the second star to the right, straight on to morning. Sending many hugs and love to you, Hera and your wonderful family.
Awwww, Rebecca, I’m so happy you joined the party! Celebration goes on and I’m sending slobbery kisses and treats! Woof! 🐾🤗🐾

She is such a beauty. And I love how she looks at you with such love – no, no… not because you have a treat. I can tell it’s how she always looks at you!
