Today was...my BIRTHDAY

Today was my birthday and at first I was thinking that this was the first day of my mid-life crisis.  I turned 8 after all...and we Cairns are known to live until 16 (or older)...half a great life already has passed me by. 

 

But then...

 

Ma took me on a very big walk this morning; we went all around the neighborhood.  I did bump into the greyhound that I am NOT particular too...but other than that, everything was swell.  We walked along the conservation area where I saw an egret.

 

There's an egret hiding in there!

 

 

Since it was my birthday, Ma let me bark like a crazy dog which was fun! One egret even flew away...well, not completely away but away from me.

 

Egret on take-off!

 

 

After that, it was almost 'business as usual'.  Ma had to do some work and at one point, I was put on guard duty (work? on my birthday?)...but Ma left me with several delicious salmon treats (well played, Ma).

 

Then...Ma came home and she had groceries!!!  And guess what???  There were special groceries in the bags for me!

 

First there was this...

 

Prime Rib????

 

 

One of my favorites!!!!  Cesar Canine Cuisine Prime Rib (though...I must complain that I would much preferred the actual prime rib Ma cooked over the weekend).  I ate it ALL...in probably 60 seconds or less.  

When Daddy-dog came home, he gave me LOTS of ear scratches!  Woof-hoo!

 

While Ma was cooking dinner for Daddy-dog, I got to go outside and stalk lizards in the back yard.  That is always fun!

 

And then...it was celebration time!

 

ICE CREAM!!!!!!!

 

 

 

I want to thank all my pals on Twitter and Facebook that wished me a Happy Birthday today.  It was a GREAT day to turn 8 years old!!!
