My sister Susan's dog Blackberry, seen in the above photograph, turned 14 years old last week (February 15th to be exact). I didn't even remember about it until yesterday, and so we didn't have a party. However, I suspect Blackberry doesn't care, just as long as she gets fed - often. She is an extremely friendly dog, and is known all over the neighborhood. Susan is always amazed that people she doesn't even know greet Blackberry by name on their walks. Children still refer to her as a puppy, despite her white goatee and rear end. I have suggested to Susan that she take Blackberry to Jody, Susan's hairdresser, and have those areas touched up, but she refuses to do this, not even considering how this effects poor Blackberry's self-image. Very cruel.
