Happy, Happy Birthday, Burrito!

January 6, 2021 by Katelyn -

Share with your friends!

Kathleen Zasimovich is the first of our sponsors for this extra special day in honor of our beloved fella, Burrito: “Happy, Happy Birthday, Burrito. You are our shining star.”

After everything Burrito has endured, and risen from, throughout his life so far (not to mention this last year plus), though it’s never been his job to do so, he has filled our hearts and lives with more light, joy, inspiration, courage, hope and love than one could imagine. Even more so during such a precarious time in life. He was born 38 years ago today and in that instant, the world was made a more magical place.

Thank you so much, Kathleen! Here’s to a day of celebration! Of food and play and food and play and food and play and everything and anything that makes Burrito’s heart sing right along with all of ours.

Happy Birthday, Bubbie!! We love you more than you will ever know.
