Dasein: Poscards, bizarro edition

With 1 hour left on a 16-hour shift, this came in over the fax:

In small type at the top of the page: "Hallo Ladies and Gentlemann please be so kind and handover the Fax to Cathrin _____ Room 1015. Thanks for your cooperation"

In large, bold type, arching slightly across the page: Happy Birthday
Smaller, immediately below: Date 06.02.2008
In large, hollow letters across the page: Hallo Cathrin the best for you!!
Smaller type, immediately underneath: Viele Gute wunsche fur Dein neues Lebensjahr, wir hoffen das Du einen schonen Tag hast. (Translation: "Many goods wishes fur your new year of life, we you hope have that an already day.")

Then it is signed below, going clockwise: Papa, Patrick, Mama, Hone. To the right, separated by a vertical dotted line. is a paw print with "Amigo" written below it.

The mother just called, presumably to wish Cathrin a Happy Birthday.
