Emly was a small, fluffy puppy with eyes that sparkled like stars. Today was her birthday, a day she had imagined would be filled with joy and excitement. She had dreamed of receiving lots of belly rubs, treats, and birthday wishes from her human family.
But as the day wore on, Emly felt a growing sense of disappointment. No one seemed to notice that it was her special day. Her family went about their usual routine, oblivious to her excitement. She tried to get their attention, wagging her tail and barking playfully, but they seemed too busy to notice.
Emly’s heart ached with sadness. She had been so looking forward to her birthday, and now she felt alone and forgotten. She wandered around the house, her tail drooping like a wet leaf. She looked at her reflection in the kitchen window, hoping to see a sign that someone cared.
As the day turned to evening, Emly curled up in her bed, her eyes filled with tears. She missed her human family, their love, their companionship. She longed for a simple “happy birthday,” a small token of recognition that she was loved and appreciated.
