Today (October 1) is Ralph's eleventh Hatchday. He had a nice relaxing day-- not too exciting, but that's the way it's been for most of us on our birthdays this year. He got to enjoy some special treats (and shared some with Scooter the CAG) and has some nice new popsicle sticks to chew up. He even had a birthday bath; while I was fixing the parrot's dinner, Ralph was happily splashing in his water dish. A Happy Eleventh Hatchday to Ralph, and many more good years to come.
