Soon-to-be 5-year-old Laurel Pugh, right, blows out her candles while already 8-year-old brother Cass, left, takes a big breath to blow out his during a combined birthday party for the siblings at their Old Crow Road home in Beaver Saturday afternoon. Their dad Sammy is at far right and their mother Amber can be seen behind Cass. A birthday party wouldn't normally be news, except these modest youngsters preferred to receive supplies for the Humane Society of Raleigh County in the form of pet food and any other goods they can use instead of presents for themselves. Cass turned eight on November 7 and Laurel won't turn five until December 19, hence the combined party.
