Thank you for sharing your birthday experience with me. I love your photos-- the laughter seen there is inspiring. I have a german made machine which came with a lovely cabinet which I use but I think I can not get parts for the machine itself. My dog KoKo (pronounced coocoo often) is part collie which means she must engage her mind or goes bonkers. She pulled up many of my peel and stick floor tiles, and cleared a barrier that was over 4 feet to get into the kitchen. She has eaten 3 pairs of my husband's shoes but luckily left a left shoe from one pair and a right from another pair and since they are the same type he had a pair left to wear. Since his surgery we can't travel like we'd like to, so enjoy the time you can be together doing fun trips. Your fabric choices are great. I had a fun time years ago in Lancaster except for the morning I ordered what I thought was gingerbread and it was a spam type meat--surprise!! Happy Birthday, p,s. Rolling toys and non-hide toys help dogs not go bonkers; also music left on helps.
