Once again, we take our annual promise not to mention that today is our Hu-Aunt’s birthday, so this post is absolutely not about that.

Each year, our Hu-Dad’s sister warns him not to mention her age or that today is her birthday. She suggested we’ve violated that oath in past years, so we’re taking 53 extra precautions this year. For example, we developed a 53 point action plan and reviewed it 53 times. Nope, not getting her age out of us. Then, to hold us publicly to our pledge, we’re posting this promise here so that you know we will not mention that today is her birthday. Aren’t we such good dogs?
