- Happy birthday, Cookie!
- Updated by Kathryne Taylor on August 6, 2024
- I’m not one to pay attention to dates, but I realized this morning that today is not only Earth Day, but also Cookie’s second birthday! Alleged birthday, that is. I adopted her from Tulsa, Oklahoma’s Pet Adoption League (PAL) in August of last year, and her paperwork lists her birthday as April 22, 2008.
- Here’s the birthday girl:
- Cookie is my mystery puppy—I don’t know where she was born, who her parents were, or even what breeds they are. Favorite made-up mixes so far are schipperhoula (schipperke + catahoula leopard dog) and blue russell (blue heeler + jack russell terrier). What’s your best guess?
- I must admit, I was excited when I connected the Earth Day-Cookie birthday link. I’m a holiday baby myself (Christmas Day) and it’s only fitting that my dog be born on a holiday as well. Perhaps Earth Day isn’t considered a bona fide holiday yet, but Cooke and I will take any excuse to celebrate we can get!
- We settled on taking a nice long walk to commemorate baby girl’s second birthday. Tomorrow we’re going to have a serious discussion about being a big girl, meaning that she’s not allowed to walk all over me any more. And we’re off!

Reply joe January 20, 2025 at 7:15 AM Hello C+K I read all that here is about Cookie (and you as well). I love dogs immensely. During my life I had four which were all strays except one. Not at the same time. One goes another is found roaming…in it comes. I miss them all very much and can’t get another one because of old age. To end this comment I love dogs more than I love to eat. God bless us all, animals too. They are so innocent…. Reply Hi, I'm Kathryne Taylor
