A quick entry before I head out to Ruby's birthday party at her house. She said it's connected to the café, so I wonder why she decided to walk with me home the day we met. I'll ask her one day. I'll be meeting with her soon.

I was able to get her the stuffed dog. It's a black-and-white corgi with a red collar around his neck. I kept it nameless since I was going to give him away, so when I bought it, I packed it in a box and wrapped it immediately. It's so adorable, too cute not to love. If I had it out for the week I owned it, I most certainly would have kept it.

Since I was a kid, I've always wanted a dog. A big dog. We couldn't have them because my father hated them and my mother was allergic. I would sometimes see people with their dogs and get a little envious of them. If I could have my own dog, it'd be a Malamute. I find them to be very good, very loyal dogs that works hard. The first one I saw was a sled dog champion from the Atlesian Sled Dog Race for the last six years, and I've been in love with them ever since.

I would really love to own a dog someday...

I guess its time to meet up with Ruby. Sooner I part with the toy, the better.

I can't believe she got me a stuffed dog that looks like Zwei! When I saw the dog in the box, I cried a whole lot. More than I would have liked, but...

Zwei was given to us by Auntie Raven when I was a kid. She was devastated when her apartment complex didn't allow pets, and even more devastated when he died several years back. Still sad we decided to give his collar to her, but Zwei was her dog. It felt right she had it. I hear that Yang visits her often to see how she's doing, usually with Blake. I've been busy, but I should reach out to her sometime. I decided to name the stuffed animal "Zwei," mostly because when I see him, "Zwei" is the only name I can come up with. But with that name, it'll feel like he's still here.

You can't imagine how happy I was seeing him so much. Even the keyboard, I've always wanted, that Qrow got for me didn't give me as much happiness as this stuffed dog Weiss gave me tonight. She went home early; I guess she's not much of a party person. Or a people person. I don't know.

I placed Zwei next to me on my bed, I love him so much. I gave him this backstory where he was left at the adoption shop as a pup after his mom was adopted and his dad escaped without him. He waited at the shop for Weiss to find him and take him home so she can give him to me. Zwei's such a kind, caring, and patient dog.

I've had many good birthdays, some more memorable than others. I love my birthday because everyone can celebrate it through Halloween. But I have to say: This birthday, I had more fun and more memories made than any others before.

And it was all because of her.
