Best thing on the internet this week
Happy Birthday Shorts
Since it’s officially a year since we’ve all been WFH that means it’s been a year since we adopted Shorts! The shelter in Hawaii found Shorts on March 11, 2020 so that’s his official/unofficial “birthday”. He made the journey to DC and we took him home two weeks later on March 21, 2020. This past week we decided to celebrate his 3rd birthday with a dog-friendly birthday cake from Dogma Bakery in Arlington. We even added some surfboards to the cake and a floral bandana to Shorts to make him feel a little bit more at home :)
