Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on September 23, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Kevin Fitzgerald! Whether you're expertly handling a veterinary emergency or cracking jokes on stage, you've always known how to keep both animals and audiences in stitches. From your unforgettable decade-long run saving furry lives on Animal Planet's "Emergency Vets," to opening for legends like Bob Hope, Diana Ross, and The Temptations—your career has truly been paws-itively spectacular.

Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter that's contagious (in the best way), applause louder than barking dogs at feeding time—and plenty of cake that doesn't require surgical removal afterward. Keep being amazing; after all these years—you've still got it!
