It’s not always easy being the sister of a Tripawd, and it’s definitely not easy when that Tripawd is a full on mextrovert MegaStar and you’re quite a shy little Pie. But Elsie is a true survivor. As a pup she was so ill, that for a time it seemed highly unlikely she would make it to adulthood. Perhaps in part because of this, and because of the constant care she needed, we bonded extremely closely. I’m not sure she’s yet realised we’re separate beings, but then I’m not sure I have either. When Meg came crashing into our lives, with all her behavioural, and then physical challenges, it was a huge adjustment for Elsie, and I’m enormously proud of the way she handled it. Today, as we celebrate Elsie’s 10th birthday with meatballs for breakfast, a trip to the beach, pawty hats, a treasure hunt, games and steak for tea, I just hope she knows how much we love her, how proud I am that she is part of my life and what a very precious Pie she is.
And, in case you’re feeling starved of pics, here’s a photo tribute to our ten years together
Saxton can relate Elsie;)

Clare there’s no such thing as picture overload when it comes to these two. I smile and laugh at every single one! You know I’ve always rooted for the Pie so the stellar special day she’s having today fills my heart with great joy! The happiest of Birthdays to this beautiful girl and many more to follow is my wish for her! Both your girls are so special to me as is their beautiful Mom and the way she lets us live the adventures with them! If you’ll excuse me now I’ve got to put my party hat on and bake a cake which I shall eat myself in celebration of the one and only Miss Elsie Pie! 🎉🎈🐾🎁
NO SUCH THING AS PICTURE OVERLOAD WHEN IT COMES TO MEG-A-STAR AND THE LOVELY MISS ELSIE PIE!!!!! The only side effect is our faces hurt from smiling so much and we snort too loudly from laughing so hard!!!
HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET ELSIE PIE!!! We are sooooo happy to be celebrating with you!!!
Being able to have a glimpse of Elsie Pie in all her Pie glory absolutely makes my heart sing!!! Seeing her happily rolli g and getting a good back scrstch….seeing her stretch her kittle round body she raises herself up o to thi gs…seeing her “sit up pretty”….just seeing EVERYTHING avput Miss Pie makes me smile!!!!
The girls in their birthday hats….OMD! These two HAVE to know they are cute!! Have to!!
And yes, you and Meg and Elsie are “one being”, “one heaert”, that’s for sure!
It was so much fun looking at the phots and seeing the Pie as a Puppy Pie and then seeing her mug start to grey. The “frosty” started around the muzzle first, then made BEAUTIFUL painted circles around her expressive eyes!
It’s funny, I often ponder also if Myrtle and Frankie (all of my dogs) really know how loved and adored they are!!! I think seeing how happy they are is their way of showing us that they know. The fact that you show such great appreciation for who they are….the fact that you let them be who they are….yeah, that’s a love that they understand!! And Meg and her mud baths….yeah, that’s love!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Clare, I inly wish we could all adewue explain how much fun and joy and wisdom you have brought to us through Meg and Elsie Pie. Your heart expands beyond the Universe and your humor lights up our world!!! You have nooooon idea how much joy you give to each of us!
I’m gonna follow Linda’s lead and make a cake for Elsie Pie’s birthday! Then I’ll eat it!! With ice cream of course! And yes, I’ll share with MM and Frankie!
May love and light surround you and the girls every moment of every day,
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
PS. Make sure you check your emails 🙂
Happy Birthday Ms Elsie Pie. I understand being in the shadow of Meg. But you are a wonderful sweet girl. Clare I am so glad you shared all of these wonderful pictures and a little about Elsie Pie and how she is apart of your heart and what made her Elsie Pie.
Keep on posting pictures you know we love to hear about the adventures that you all go on.

Thank you for including us in celebrating your 10 years with Miss Elsie Pie. She exudes character and charm. I never realized how sturdy looking she was. Lots of hugs and special treats.

ONLY The Pie could get the Roo off her lazy bunny butt to say: Oh gee willikers and gee whiskers and ,well, WE LOVE YOU ELSIE! Although we have been away at Da Bear HQ, Elsie and Da MegaStar are always on our (very ornery and highly wascally) minds and hearts. Elsie, you are sooooooooooooooooo loved. You remind me very much of one of the all time very best dogs in literature: Cannonball Simp. Or a circus dog. Or a vaudeville dog. Or, simply, a dog for all time. ELSIE: WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are just beautiful and a dog of the highest quality. Now go steal Meg’s pig ear. Meg will forgive you. Over and out from Da Bear HQ (EmmaRose DaBear is almost 16 Elsie so you have a ways to go with your Mum! And CharlieBear DaBear is almost 12…Long Live Da MegaStar and Da ElsiePie! )
