Today was BVella’s birthday, and as she woke up to the soft morning light streaming through the window, she felt a little glum. Her humans were usually so excited on special days, but this morning was quiet. They were busy with their routines, and Bella didn’t hear the familiar cheers or see the decorations she had hoped for.
Feeling a bit neglected, Vella trotted to her favorite sunny spot on the living room rug, letting the warmth envelop her. She glanced out the window at the park across the street, where she could see other dogs playing with their owners. Her tail drooped slightly, but then she thought, “Why not celebrate my birthday in my own way?”
With newfound determination, Bella padded into the kitchen. The enticing smell of breakfast filled the air, and she noticed a few crumbs left behind from the humans’ toast. Maybe today could be about self-care! She nibbled on the crumbs, savoring the little treat.
