The Birthday Magazine

March 14, 2025 by Ellen Brady-McGaughey

In today’s video, see Cy and Jamie enjoy Cy’s special edition, homemade magazine! We made this magazine for Cy as a present for his recent birthday and continued the festivities today by giving him (and Jamie) another copy. If you’ve been hoping to see this unique magazine, you are in luck today! Cy’s team of human caregivers sent in some pretty amazing pictures, and were graciously willing to share them with us all. Let’s dive right in!

This page requires some explanation. “The Beths” are a doll duo steeped in lore at the sanctuary. Mary Beth (in pink), was introduced to us when J.B. brought her for our white elephant gift exchange in 2022, and Kelsi was the “lucky” recipient. Kelsi somehow unknowingly picked Mary Beth in the gift exchange the next year as well, after having returned her to J.B. and Diana for safekeeping. Mary Beth is suspected to bring bad luck to whoever is housing her, as Kelsi’s car broke down when Mary Beth was riding with her, and Jenna hurt her back when Mary Beth was briefly with her. The doll in blue is Sarah Beth, who joined Mary Beth from an unknown source when she showed up in Kelsi’s clothing drawer at the sanctuary. Dusty got the duo at our latest white elephant exchange in January 2025, and has been updating us on all of their adventures together (Trader Joe’s trips, helping with cattle care, and even a trip to the Department of Corrections..?). Dusty is quite mischievous, so we don’t know where we might find “The Beths” next!

    I love it! Who says that journalism is dead? I found the interview with Cy elucidating and inspiring. I have no choice but to subscribe.

    I think I enjoyed your magazine as much as Cy and Jamie. I saved it to read with my morning coffee. The video speaks volumes, showing how pleased, enthralled even, Cy and Jamie were. Especially Jamie who appears to be very captivated by the images, lip smackingly so!

    My favorite part? The interview with Honey B! :laughing:

    This is amazing!! This magazine masterpiece must have taken a lot of work to put together but to see Cy and Jamie enjoying it this much has to feel so rewarding and make it all worthwhile. Thank you for making this for them and for sharing it here!
