It’s your birthday!

Actually, his birthday was yesterday and the boys celebrated by playing in the mud yard, followed by bathies. I was doubly annoyed with their mud bogging because they were wearing their leather collars.

Actually, I had ordered Christmas collars for both of them which I posted to their Facebook on October 22 so imagine my shock when this past weekend, I find that Mr. Julius has already outgrown his, so he was wearing Ray’s while Ray donned his beautiful Paco collar. So, yes, mud all over the place, including their fancy collars was not actually a highlight.

There was, however plenty of good cheer and bully sticks were enjoyed by all the canines. Ray was gifted with a 24″ long special birthday bully while Julius gnawed on his normal 12″ sized bully stick. Ray also got his own pink birthday piggy, which I’m happy to report has lived to see the light of day two.

Naturally, there was cake.

Unfortunately for the boys, cake will be served at a later date this week when I can make allowances for the extra calories.

What else? For those of you who are newer around here, you may not know that I was there to witness Ray’s birth. I held his mama in my arms till he arrived and will always consider that a special Birthing Day.

(On another happy note, Vanilla and Chocolate were adopted over the weekend!)
