And all of them Tiina.
Illustration of Tiina from Finland by her elf buddy, Gimlet Rose
Today, Tiina turns 16.
Now, what does that mean?
It means we've all had the pleasure
of watching her leisure
on her pillows, bright and gay.
We've seen her in lupines, and in chilly moss forests.
Watched her pick berries and sit among flowers.
Tiina and Ville the cat have danced their elfin dances before our eyes.
She is the wire with the magical existence,
the one of whom we all wish "could we please be Tiina, even for a day?"
"May we sit with Anne and watch the world go by, and see with Tiina's eyes?"
Today, Tiina turns 16.
Oh, that number is putty in Tiina's paw. She adds a dash of spirit and joie de vivre to everything in her path
Oh, that wire.
Today, Tiina from Finland turns 16.

Tiina, cats only live with and visit very special wire fox terriers. I should know.
Ville thinks you're a very special dog.
Happy Birthday to you.
