My First Birthday Party

Today was the BIG day that I was so looking forward to. Mom even had the day off work because her company knew it was my birthday and our country's birthday tomorrow too.

I made sure to wake Mom up extra early at 5:43AM to get a start on our day by bringing my toys up on the bed and tossing them around, jumping around growling and whining, and licking Mom's face to get her moving. Mom was kind of crabby and went back to bed after we took our long morning walk.

After our breakfast, Mom let me open one present.

Oh, puhleez can I open it??

I just can't wait!

Ooh it's a plastic pig that makes loud squeaky sounds.

Hi Mr. Pig

Thanks Mom, I love squeaky toys!!

In the evening, we went to Grandma's for a special birthday celebration. I got to open my presents from Grandma before dinner.

** reading Grandma's birthday card to me**

Ooh, what did Grandma buy for me??

WOW, it's a soccer ball AND a football!!! Grandma knows what kinds of toys boys like.

See my football?

See my soccer ball?

I love these toys Grandma!!

I got to have dinner in the dining room next to Mom's chair since it was a special day. For dessert, we had my birthday cake which was a special cake for doggies that is "human grade" so our people can enjoy it too. Why are people so picky about their food?

My cake!!

Here's my cake with one candle because I'm one year old.

Here I am with a birthday hat. T-man Angel said that he and Uncle Sammi had to wear those hats on their birthday too.

How do I look, T-man??

Next everyone sang Happy Birthday to me. Mom told me to make a wish and helped me blow out the candle.

Next we got to eat!! The cake was so yummy that I ate every crumb and even had a second helping.

Then I got to finish opening my presents. Here's a present sent all the way from the Philippines from my friends Moy Moy, Trudis, Jappy, Woody, Scarlet, and Bambi who live with the Animal Doctor. They were so nice to think of me and go to all that trouble to sent me presents from so far away.

Ooh, what's inside here??

Wow, my very own lobster!!

Can I eat this for dinner??

Mom said that this lobster was just for chewing, not for eating. It's braided, so will be good for me to chew, and there's no stuffing for me to swallow.

My friends also sent me a pecan cashew goody. It looks scrumptious but Mom said I shouldn't have any tonight after eating all that cake. We can try it tomorrow.

Ooh, this smells good


Thanks pups of the Animal Doctor. I love my pressies!!

My next present was some beef flavored toothpaste.

Yum, my favorite flavor


What's in my next package?? It looks purple...


Ooh, it's a bungee gecko!!


Mom says let's open the next present


Mmmm chick'n stix treats....


Here's my last present


Wow, it's a toy donkey just like T-man had!!


It makes donkey sounds and everything...I love it!!


Thanks everyone for a wonderful birthday party!!
