It is such a joy to give presents and to see the recipient's face when they discover what the gift is. It is my daughter's 9th birthday at the weekend and she has been counting down the days since Christmas.
I had planned on a certain gift that was going to form part of her birthday and it was something she had wanted for ages. As it involved the internet, I was going to go through the process on her actual birthday and when she had mentioned this particular 'thing' over the past number of weeks I had managed to distract her. Not so this evening when she asked once again about sponsoring a dog through the Dog's Trust - www.dogstrust.org She even suggested that we could do it as part of her birthday. Somehow the timing just seemed right so for the past 40 minutes we have been on the internet researching and then choosing her dog. Some of the dogs can be visited so that became something we wanted if possible and it was. As a result I have a very excited little girl, a very grateful little girl and one who now sponsores the lovely Monica who lives in Shoreham-on-sea. Happily not too far away so we can plan a trip to the seaside and visit Monica as well.
Ellie is so happy, her little face aglow and eagerly awaiting the welcome pack full of photos, information and lots of other goodies.
