Daisy roamed the yard, her paws dragging through the grass. It was her birthday, but everything felt ordinary. No one had said anything, and her usual bounce was missing.
Later that evening, her owner called her inside. To her surprise, the living room was decorated with balloons and streamers. A big sign read, βHappy Birthday, Daisy!β She barked with joy as her family smothered her with kisses and treats.
