Confessions

Almost one year ago I got my very first gray hair. It was on a special weekend, I remember well. My parents spent three days out and I missed them dearly. I stayed home with grandma and dad came to see me twice a day, as per my mother's request.

By the time mom got home, I already had grown quite a bunch of gray hair on my chin. A couple of days later, a little squirm got me to understand everything. I was not an only child anymore!

Fear and nervousness were soon replaced by curiosity and then joy: I've never seen someone drop that much food on the floor, much less with the sole purpose of watching me eat it!

Something I knew from the very beginning, that was hard to believe, yet I can't hide no more: she is the new alpha and I've come to accept it that way. Happy birthday, baby Alfa!
