I'm a Birthday Boy

We just couldn't go to bed
without my Birthday Party.

We're leaving at the crack of dawn
But birthdays are meant to be celebrated
ON the special day.

So
Even though the Yorkie pups had gone to bed
The rest of us squeezed in some celebration.

Winston and Charles had been looking over treats and pressies all day.

And while they watched
I snatched a peanut butter treat right out from under their noses

And then enjoyed a frozen peanut butter treat.
Or two or three.

But I know parties are for sharing.

And it was nice having Zoe here to celebrate with me.

She had as much fun as I did.

Even Fergi joined us
with the coercion of some treats.

It was a good time.

And one of my favorite parts?
Opening pressies.

And then playing tug with Zoe.

It was a good party.
A midnight party.
Only to soon collapse into bed
and wait for our early morning departure to Wyoming.

We'll try hard to get some pictures of our National Park Adventure
It's sure to be fun.
Five dogs and four people in one vehicle.

Dogs Rule.




Pee esS
Thank you ALL so much
(and Our Girl thanks you too)
for all the well wishes
and your understanding about our seeming absence.

You guys are all the greatest
and you made my birthday special.
Really really special.

My tail's been wig wagging all day.
It's a happy feeling and the enthusiasm seems to rub off all around.
For that
EVERYONE says "Thank you!"


See ya in a few days!
We're off to hunt bears!

Happy Birthday Jake, we so enjoyed your midnight party!
At least those wheelies don't seem to want to eat too many treats.
Nice to see Zoe having such fun - we love tug!
So happy too to see Fergi join in - she must be a little unsettled with your visitors but we know she will join in when she is ready.
Have the greatest of holidays - if the car is too full just stop and drop off a human!
love and kisses
