eldritchhobbitToday is the birthday of J.R.R. Tolkien, creator of Hobbits and Dwarves and Elves and all of Middle-earth, who was born this day in 1892. I hope everyone will participate in The Tolkien Society's International Birthday Toast for 2012!
Happy tenth birthday to The Shire's Virginia Lórien, a.k.a. Virginia, the world's most beautiful Boston terrier and our very best friend, who was born this day in 2002. We love you, Sweetheart!
Here is the birthday girl:
You can see more pictures of Virginia here.
The quote for the day is from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien, and one of Virginia's favorite verses (because, after all, it mentions part of her name):
"Gandalf's Song of Lórien"
In Dwimordene, in Lórien
Seldom have walked the feet of Men,
Few mortal eyes have seen the light
That lies there ever, long and bright.
Galadriel! Galadriel!
Clear is the water of your well;
White is the star in your white hand;
Unmarred, unstained is leaf and land
In Dwimordene, in Lórien
More fair than thoughts of Mortal Men.

LOL! How sweet! She is our little sweetheart, that's for sure. We just adore her. And she's such a good little model; when I pull out the camera, she automatically starts to pose. ;)

Date: 2012-01-07 04:07 am (UTC)We would love to have a dog, but we're just not home enough. (We love visiting our friends who have dogs, to get our "doggie fix"!) We do have a cat who loves to pose--a friend of mine who fosters a lot of kitties says it's a breed characteristic (from his appearance and personality we think he's mostly Oriental Shorthair, although he was a rescue kitty so it's really anyone's guess). Our other kitty has no interest in posing whatsoever, but what she lacks in elegance she makes up for in fluff.
Vienne (mostly fluff) and Pom (who knows he's pretty)
