HAPPY BIRTHDAY PUPPY DOG!!!
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEETEST BEST FRIEND!!! 🐕🥳🎂🎉
I'm feeling especially grateful and emotional today that my sweet and loyal fur baby is still here and that I get to celebrate another amazing year of his amazing little life. My sweet boy is 17 today!! I know he is a miracle. I know he is still here because of me, because I still need him. He's an old man now and it shows in almost every way. But he continues to amaze me with his youthful spirit. Even though he moves slow and he sleeps most of the day, he still enjoys his walks (albeit they are slow, short and sweet...he really takes his time to "smell the roses") and he still gets bursts of energy where he wants to play and he thinks he's a puppy again. I love him so much!!! It's been hard to see his age catch up to him because his heart is still so young. I know this is probably the last birthday I'll be celebrating with him and I can't even type that without crying. He is the best gift I have ever received. He is one of my greatest blessings and I am so grateful for every, single day he has given me these last 17 years. I don't know where I'd be without him. I don't know what I'll do without him but for now, he's still here, going strong, proving to everyone that age is just a number and that love can truly sustain one's life. I've tried to show him every single day how much I love and appreciate him but he has shown me perfect, unconditional love his entire life!! I am forever indebted to him!! I love you so much sweet boy!! And I need to stop because I don't want to cry anymore right now!!!
I've been celebrating my boy all day long! We started the day off with an early morning walk (while the weather was still cool) and we went farther than we've gone in a long time! I also listened to some Christmas music because a) CHRISTMAS IN JULY! Holla! Don't judge me... and b) my "holiday" walks with him have always been my favorite. I also listened to a few songs from my Halloween Playlist because my fall walks are especially special to me. I love walking in the beautiful, crisp autumn weather and seeing people's Halloween (and then Christmas) decorations out. I don't know if I'll get to do that with him this year (even if he's still here, we can't go on the old routes we once did) so I was reminiscing those times.
After our walk, I made myself some Birthday Cake Pancakes to celebrate and eat (on his behalf). Once I cleaned up and got myself ready (I actually tried to make myself look cute with makeup and curling my hair because I was planning on having a photo shoot with my boy! Yeah, I showed UP for my dog's birthday, lol) I went to the store to pick up a few things.
I spent a big part of my day baking puppy some birthday treats and although it was long and a lot of work it was SO WORTH IT because he LOVED them!!! He even started growling at me when I wouldn't let him eat them because I was trying to get a pic of him with his treats 😂 I made myself some birthday dessert as well (a giant Chocolate Chip cookie topped with ice-cream, yum!). Then we jammed out to HANSON during their first streaming concert for ATW!! It happened to fall on my puppy's birthday, what a treat!! It was a BLAST! I got to play it on my TV and I just felt so happy!! Watching Hanson with my dog and eating a big cookie with ice-cream...it doesn't get better than that!!
I'll share a few songs I played/listened to throughout the day in honor of my dog's big birthday! I've had such a fun and special day with him!! I wish it didn't have to end!
Who Let the Dogs Out - Baha Men
Birthday - The Beatles
Broken - Jack Johnson
I feel like this song especially, is a "theme song" to my dog for me. The lyrics just really made me think of him and I and our relationship and even made me tear up! He has that effect on me! 😉💓😭
With everything ahead of us we left, everything behind
But nothing that we needed at least
Not at this time
And I, feeling that I'm feeling, well
Is feeling like my life was finally mine
With nothing to go back to
We just continue, to drive
Without you I was broken
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
I said without you I was broken
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
I didn't know what I was looking for
So I, didn't know what I'd find
I didn't know what I was missing
I guess you've been just a little too kind
And if I find just what I need
Put a little peace in my mind
Maybe you've been looking too
Maybe you don't even need to try
Without you I was broken
And I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
I said without you I was broken
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
With everything in the past fading faster and faster until it was gone
Thought that I was loosing so much more than I knew all along
But everything I was working for, only worth nickels and dimes
But if I had had a minute for every hour that I wasted I'd be rich in time
I'd be doing fine
Cause without you I was broken
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
So without you I was broken
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
So without you I was broken
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
I said without you I was broken
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
Hound Dog - Elvis Presley
