Happy Birthday Kesslet !

WDC Adopt a Dolphin star “Kesslet” turns 21 years old this month. She was born in 1994 and sadly when she was only four years old her mother, Kess died. She is a great, resourceful character and in 2007 she gave birth to her first offspring, Charlie, who is on the left of the photo below with Kesslet leaping over the top of one of Charlies buddies called Yoda. I took the photo yesterday and just love the twinkle that she has in her eye.

So – HAPPY BIRTHDAY KESSLET – heres to the next twenty one years !
