Boone turned three on May 28th. It is a little hard for me to believe that we met our cute little puppy three years ago! But, when I think about the journey we've taken from hyper puppy to evermore calm dog, I realize that a lot of time must have passed. We decided to throw Boone a proper birthday party for his third birthday.
We started the day before by making a cake. Charlie was in charge of combining the ingredients. He did a great job!
We also thought that Boone should get a birthday sign on the wall. Charlie set to work and came up with this creation:
It took a lot of explaining afterwards so that Charlie would stop bugging me to eat that cake right away! Finally he said, "But Mom, Boone can't eat the cake because he's allergic to chocolate. So can I have a piece now?"
My answer? "Aha! But this cake is for the human members of our family. We're going to make a special cake for Boone." I was met with a perplexed look. You may be perplexed as well. What is this special cake?
Three doggie treats decorated with frosting to resemble birthday candles on a paper plate. Tasty enough for Boone.
With that, we were ready for the festivities to begin. We sang Happy Birthday to our favorite canine and then let him loose at his cake. He loved it. In fact, he ate the entire plate. Oops. But he was happy and that's all that mattered. The human cake was very good too, so we had to congratulate Charlie on his excellent cake baking skills.
Then it was time for presents. Boone got a box of treats and a new rope toy. He loves rope toys and immediately started playing with it.
All in all, it was a fun birthday party for Boone. Can't wait to see what his fourth year brings!
