Stella sparkle in her eyes—today was her birthday! She was turning 3 years old, and she could feel the excitement bubbling inside her. She dashed around the house, wagging her tail, waiting for the celebration to begin. But as the hours ticked by, nothing happened. The usual breakfast came and went, and no one seemed to notice it was her special day.
Stella’s tail began to droop as she watched her family go about their day. She had imagined a fun-filled day with toys and treats, maybe even a new collar! But the house was quiet, and there were no signs of a party.
By the evening, Stella curled up in her favorite spot, gazing out the window. The world outside seemed to be moving on, while her birthday went unnoticed. But as the stars started to twinkle in the sky, she let out a soft sigh. “Maybe next year they’ll remember,” she thought, still feeling the love from her family, even without the celebration.
