Happy 38th Birthday Burrito!

January 6, 2021 by Kelsi

Today we celebrated Burrito’s 38th birthday! The fact that Burrito has a birthday today fills my heart with more joy than words can express, and I am sure I am not alone. It is fun to watch Burrito get back to his old self, but also to see him grow more as well. For example, Burrito going for walks/runs around the Hill on his own or Jamie letting him join too. Don’t quote me on this because it may not last forever, he does do big displays, but overall he seems more relaxed. Every day with Burrito is a blessing. Burrito is loved by many all over the country. Burrito has the most infectious laugh and smile, he is sweet, he is funny, he is also wild at times, and he is that bright light we all need. I think Chad said it best yesterday! If you are like, “What did Chad say yesterday”? You must read yesterday’s blog and then come back to this video!

This guy spent his day doing all of his favorite things. He played, non-stop! We had a snow party before lunch, he groomed with friends, ran around the Hill, played some more, and of course ate pasta! Due to popular demand, the pasta cam is back! The food squeaks in this video are unbelievable, look out for Jody’s. Burrito had a great day and we hope you did too!

Happy Birthday, Burrito!

January 6, 2021 by Katelyn

And many thanks to you, Kathleen Corby, for being our second sponsor of this wondrous day of celebrating all things Burrito!

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY BURRITO! I wanted to honor you today on your 38th birthday simply because you are you, beautiful you. I celebrate you today because you bring joy to my heart. With one look at your face you can instantaneously place a smile on my face. You have proven that a happy, playful outlook on life, even after adversity, is the only way to live. You have taught me that I should find pleasure and bliss in the simple everyday things around me, even if it’s just a taste of my favorite food. Savor, savor it all. I am not certain if it was bravery, courage, loyalty, or all of these traits together that made you attack that nasty old rattler on that fateful day, but you demonstrated there are times in life when we need to take action, without hesitation, no matter what the consequences may be, because there are things in life worth defending. You are my hero Mr. B. and I love you more than words can say. May happiness shine upon you forever…. Chad said it best : “I honestly can’t imagine a life without Burrito.” Here’s to life with Burrito! Now bring on that pasta cam!!”

Happy, Happy Birthday, Burrito!

January 6, 2021 by Katelyn

Kathleen Zasimovich is the first of our sponsors for this extra special day in honor of our beloved fella, Burrito: “Happy, Happy Birthday, Burrito. You are our shining star.”

After everything Burrito has endured, and risen from, throughout his life so far (not to mention this last year plus), though it’s never been his job to do so, he has filled our hearts and lives with more light, joy, inspiration, courage, hope and love than one could imagine. Even more so during such a precarious time in life. He was born 38 years ago today and in that instant, the world was made a more magical place.

Thank you so much, Kathleen! Here’s to a day of celebration! Of food and play and food and play and food and play and everything and anything that makes Burrito’s heart sing right along with all of ours.

Happy Birthday, Bubbie!! We love you more than you will ever know.
