Happy 8th Birthday, Sam! (...and a very late thank you!)

Our very special boy had a birthday on Thursday. Due to my work schedule, we decided to wait until this weekend to celebrate it.

It's my birthday!


If you remember, last year Sam was too sick to celebrate properly, so this year we wanted to give him a proper celebration - including a home cooked doggie birthday cake! Our good friend, Homer, supplied us the recipe last year. It smelled good enough for us humans to eat!

Mental note from the mom, use a smaller pan next time...


Here are the boys patiently waiting for the party to begin. Try as we might, we couldn't get Monty to wear the hat.


...and here they are posing for yet another picture.

When do we get to eat, Mom?


One more picture, Sam!


We sliced the cake, and each boy got a piece. Sam, in usual Sammy form, ate his too quick for me to get a picture.


Monty, however, was a perfect gentleman!


A while back, Sugar had a Trick n Treat contest and Sammy won the "What Do You Think Tester?" category. Sugar sent Sam his prize, and we've been holding it for a special occasion.


Thank you, Sugar! Both of the boys love the treats! I did have to rescue the card - Sam had every intention of ripping through whatever was between him and the treats!


I think Sam had a great day!


...and the boys are going to be busy for a while!

  4. HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY, GRANDDOG SAM.

    (56th in people years, AR, in case you'd like to acknowledge your elders).

    Sam, like his Grandpaw, loves birthday cake and Monty, being the youngest, can be stubborn about the hat and everything else.

    Nice pictures, nice sentiments and nice kids - four and two legged.

    The old Silverback is enjoying the 13 day countdown to Halloween.
