We interrupt the Zoo photos for Bleubeard's special day

Today is my big boy's birthday.  He is 16 and wouldn't hold still for a photo op.

Bleubeard's needs are simple.  He wants a clean sandbox, lots of water and food, and a great place to sleep at night.  He wants me to make sure I keep him safe from harm, like getting chased by a dog.  He wants to be loved and love in return.  He needs recognition for being the face of this blog and co-hosting T Tuesday each week.  And finally he needs to let others know how much they are loved, too, like Karla at Poetic Postcards, whose birthday he shares with her.

Thank you for allowing me to honor the birthday boy today.  I am grateful.  BTW, this was created in my Coll-AH-ge Too altered book.  I began with a page I scraped paint on using a faux credit card, then cut and added an image from a magazine.  Bleubeard thanks you, too!
