Sui woke up on her 6th birthday, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She stretched her paws, feeling like today would be magical. But as the morning passed, her wagging tail slowed. No one seemed to notice it was her special day.
She waited patiently by her food bowl, hoping a cake or at least a special treat might arrive. But breakfast came, and it was just the usual. She looked around the house, expecting to see balloons, maybe a party hat. But the house was still, and everyone went about their day as if nothing was different.
By the afternoon, Sui sat quietly in her favorite corner, her once-bright eyes now dimmed with disappointment. She had imagined laughter, presents, and maybe even some extra cuddles. But it seemed her family had forgotten. She let out a soft sigh, the weight of her uncelebrated birthday pressing down on her heart.
