It's My Birthday!

He gang, I'm officially legal! As of today I'm 3 years old to the humans but 21 in dog years so I can belly up to any bar I choose!!! I haven't had any cold ones just yet but I did get to have my birthday dinner yesterday (mom's abandoning me tonight.) I forgave her because she put lots of chicken on top of my kibble for my special dinner. Why she doesn't give it to me every night I'll never know...Anyway today's my special day so mom took me to the mall. What was she thinking??? Hello?!? I'm a boy! Then I smelled the most magnificent smell ... the Three Dog Bakery. I am pretty sure basset heaven will be a big bakery just like that. I got two treats! I petitioned for three since I'm three but mom's ears aren't near as big as mine so I don't think she heard me. After the bakery we went to my other favorite place, the bark park. It was kind of hot but it was good to see some friends on my special day. On the way out I rolled in a fabulously stinky dead bird. Ahh, such aroma. That backfired though, we stopped for a dreaded bath on the way home...barf! There should be some rule that you don't have to have a bath on your birthday. I guess since I got chicken, a trip to the bakery and a trip to the park I'll let her slide on de-stinking me. Well...this birthday boy needs a nap. Happy 4th.
