" />" width="500" height="214" alt="ccb" />" />My Friend's birthday is in November. So are the birthdays of 4 members in my very near immediate family. This year My Friend's special day got skipped. I am sure some of those 4 family members would argue that their birthdays were also skipped by the Burns' Family, but we do the best we can...usually. The best we could in regard to My Friend's birthday was a January celebration. He didn't notice the belated-ness at all. He showed no indication of resentment. Shew. (wipes brow)
How to Celebrate a Dog's Birthday
Get some wet dog food.
Let the kid participate in every step, no matter how insignificant it may seem.
Try not to vomit from the putrid-dity.
Get the chunk kind of dog food so to give the kid another activity. (Mushing)
Pretend like you bought the chunk kind on purpose.
Let the dog be involved in the watching.
Shape the dog food like a bone or a log of doo doo. Either or.
Prepare the dog with a hat.
Allow him to take it off.
Only put it back on 2-3 more times. (It is his birthday after all.)
Have a very effeminate man sing Happy Birthday to him. (I have NO idea.)
And allow the dog to finally enjoy his bone.
Take it away when he's halfway through or else there will be certain things on your carpet come morning. I'm not gonna say what. (Doo doo)
And then make cookies for the humans because any excuse, is a good excuse, for cookies.
In addition to a special dog food dish, My Friend was allowed to go everywhere we went that day, which meant sitting in the truck while we picked up a few groceries and also while we went in Lynne's Diner for lunch. Happy birthday buddy.
Actually...full disclosure....This is the first time we've celebrated the dog's birthday. The older Charley gets, the more I see the need to create opportunities for quality family time. I now see the value in celebrating in celebrating every. little. thing.
Lol! I love it!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday My Friend! You're a good mom Hayley.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, If my kid sees this we will have a big mess and all the animals will have to have a birthday party...And Ariel loves gravy train and has been eating Iams because David's dog needed better nutrition, but I am sure Ariel wants her GT back and would love it just like that! Happy Birthday Charley. What a great mom!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great how dogs never hold the resentment that humans do for a missed birthday? We too celebrate canine birthdays. Though I don't ever have a weak stomach, there was just something about the picture of Charley mashing it all up while I am sitting here eating my lunch that made me cringe. I hope she washed well before working on y'alls cookies. Love the picture of Chuck singing and your captions, of course!
ReplyDeleteA LOG? Of DOO DOO? Yeah. You said that. This post is disgusting. And also very cute. HORK. I puked a little just now. (It's from lookin at the gravy train). But awww look how cute they are together.
