Happy Birthday to Me!

Today I celebrate another year of comfort, safety, shelter and love with Mommy and Daddy. I didn't know what to expect this year - a big cake, surprise party, parade...I got up early with Mommy and Daddy for their work out. Then, Daddy surprised me with a trip to day care! I got to spend the day playing with other doggies and getting lots of attention from the owners of the daycare. I got home, hoping for a big birthday cake, but no dice. I guess they didn't want to ruin my diet. Speaking of diets, I now get to eat fancy special food because I have too many struvite crystals in my pee. What can I say, I refuse to conform.

Last weekend, I got to stay with my friend Bruno again while Mommy and Daddy went to Seattle. Bruno and I have fun. We run around together and sometimes we wrestle. Plus, I like to sniff around their yard. But I'm always happy to go home. Whenever they drop me off somewhere, I wonder if they're coming back. I have been left behind or sent to other homes so many times before, I'm never quite sure. But they always come back. And take me home. Happy Birthday to me. And now I shall celebrate by chewing on my back foot for a while...
