Today is My Birthday!

Happy birthday to me, I’m 6 years old today! WOOOHOO, I expect all sorts of goodies, and celebrations, and perhaps a parade! I’d like a parade in my honor where I could ride the chewy bone float, or even better, the float made from roast! That would be cool!

I’m sure the humans are planning something extra special, as they’ve done absolutely nothing so far to even acknowledge that its my birthday. I’m sure they’re just pretending not to remember so I’m surprised later on when I get a whole raw steak for dinner that I’ll eat right in front of the suck up gimpy mutatoe and gloat about it. Maybe they’ll even bring me some snow, since its 70 freakin degrees here and the human woman turned on the air conditioning.

I can’t wait to see what surprises they’ll have for me!

Ok, its later in the day and the humans haven’t cooked me an entire steak yet, no parade for me, no float made from a roast, although they did buy a roast and are cooking it... hmmm.

I did get to maul a squeeky toy on the deck! The human woman got one of the sacred squeeky toys out of the closet that we’re not allowed in, and took me outside. She wanted me to play with it in the yard, but the squeeky toys all get very dirty in the yard, so I carried it onto the deck and played with it there. I was ultra cute and fluffy for that, and of course she didn’t have the camera with her. I wasted a good cute and fluffy for nothing.

That was a lot of fun, because the deck is a bit slippery (we’re doing our best to make it less smooth with our nails), so I was able to pounce on the squeeky toy, then slide it all over the deck. Now I’m a bit tired. I haven’t practiced being a cute, fluffy puppy in a while. Loki is currently barking at Sam to get him riled up while I take a quick nap. He’s good for something at least.

Ok, this happens to be the BEST birthday I’ve ever had!
While the humans were out with Sammy (who reportedly pooped again) and then downstairs trying to figure out how to keep him from dragging his crate covers into the crate and sucking on them, the gimpy suck up mutatoe and I discovered my birthday present! They even wrapped it up in a plastic bag for me, but it was all there, just for me. I was nice and shared with the mutatoe and we had a blast going through my gift bag. All sorts of goodies in there! Empty coffee cups, chip bags with chips still in them and lots and lots of tasty kleenex! Everything I could ever want was in there and we had a ball playing and eating it.

Oddly enough, when the human woman came up for something, she wasn’t pleased to see that I had opened my gift without them. I guess she had wanted to wait until we were all together and then surprise me, but I liked it anyway. She must have been happy that I liked it, because she stood there and made this very strange high pitched keening noise for a long time.
