An Auspicious Day!

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 2014!
Happy twelfth 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, chilling out.
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.

Oh, goodness, those outfits! Princess Leia and Sherlock win all. And the bumblebee just kills me! It fits so well with her shape. Hee! She's such a good sport. I can't imagine trying to get my parents' dog (pit bull/lab) into something like that. It could not possibly end well.

Once I was trying to take a picture of my own feet (as a friend of mine had made me a fantastic pair of socks), and Virginia insisted on sitting on them. Why would anyone ever get out a camera, if not to take pictures of her? LOL.
Thanks for your kind words!
