How did we celebrate you're probably thinking? We celebrated by taking a trip north to enjoy our birthday with our brother Murphy (also born on June 30th). Not once, but twice, we enjoyed dog bone sundaes (if you haven't had one, it's vanilla soft serve ice cream with 3-4 dog biscuits mixed in).
To be completely honest with you, the process of us enjoying our treats did not go as smoothly as our owner's imagined. For our first sundae treat, we escaped from our owner's clutches and took off into the woods searching for small animals (or whatever else we smelled). Our owner had to get in the car and drive about a mile away to come pick us up. Knowing that our dog bone sundaes awaited us, we jumped right into the car so we could get home ASAP!
Our second sundae treat went much smoother, however for the second treat, Desi had some real issues with the hardwood floor that the treat was placed on. Desi scooted and scooted the dish around the floor before finally wedging the dish into a corner, where she then made quick work of the sundae.
So, we're finally 3 years old (that would be 21 in dog years). No, we didn't celebrate 21 years like many humans do. However, we'd much rather have a good romp around the woods and a tasty treat than anything else, so I'd say our day was pretty 'doggone' good (sorry we really couldn't resist). Even better, we got to see our big, chubby brother Murphy, who hasn't changed one bit.
Some people covet expensive material items or trips to exotic locations for their birthdays wishes. But for us, it really couldn't get any better than enjoying the simple pleasures such as spending time with our family, eating ice cream, and chasing squirrels around the woods.
