Mister Badger's First Birthday

Dear Journal,
 
Today is Mister Badger's first birthday! At least the anniversary from when I found him. He was such a little thing he couldn't have been older than two weeks! Thank goodness I found him though. He was all alone in a storm and I couldn't let him die! I took care of him and taught him to be "friendly" and he has continued to protect me tirelessly. The first time he scared off a black bear was very intimidating, even for me! So with today being his birthday, I've decided to cook up a kidney pies with blueberries and some mead I stole from the local drunk while he slept. Mister Badger likes honey so I hope he likes a little mead. I know I do! A lovely feast for my best friend!
