It was Carly Simon’s birthday yesterday, or maybe today, possibly tomorrow. We’re not sure, so we celebrate all three days with parties, parades and liver-flavored cakes. We also call her Carlton. She’s ten and we’ve had her for 8.25 of those years.

Here’s a brief timeline of her life.

She’ll allow some people to share space with her on a chair.

At the end of a long day of lounging, she enjoys a hard-earned nap. And there you have it.
