I was the talk of the neighborhood

Earlier this month I woke up to this in my front yard. I opened the blinds and had to laugh. It is a yardsign honoring what would have been the 50th birthday for Alfie, the dog my sons grew up with. He was a wonderful dog and my oldest son felt like Alfie was his dog since he picked him out of the litter. At 8:45 am I got my first call from a neighbor asking if I changed my name and to wish me Happy Birthday! All through the day I got calls from neighbors with all kinds of questions. I had to explain it was for our dead dog's birthday. I expect the head of our HOA to give me a call soon. Hope I don't have to move. My oldest son had this put in my yard and this is not the first one he's done. I had one when Alfie would have turned 21 too. It had champagne glasses and streamers on it. Don't know where my kids get their sense of humor!

Be kind to one another.
