Cyrus's birthday!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Today Cyrus turns One Year Old!

He thinks he is very wise now, but I disagree! I have fourteen years to his measly one year!

For Cyrus's birthday, our person took us for an extra-long Walk this morning! We went to the Lagoon!

Because it is Cyrus's birthday, he was allowed to roll in dead-seaweed-and-muscles-stink!
(It wasn't really that stinky, but it was still Very Nice!)

It was a very beautiful day at the water! 

Thank you for having a birthday, Cyrus! We had a Very Good Walk!

Happy birthday to Cyrus! 

And this was Cyrus one year ago! 

I am ELEVEN!

Happy birthday to ME!
Happy birthday to ME!
Happy birthday to Cobi (that's ME!).
Happy birthday to ME!

Okay, the truth is that the people don't exactly know my exact birthday. Not exactly. But it was around the May long weekend in the year people call two-thousand-and-eight. So I am around eleven years old! Isn't that amazing?!?

We celebrated by going to the BEACH!

It was big-beach time. The water was very far out, leaving us with lots and lots of sand for running on and sniffing on. Even the Beach helped to celebrate! I am sure it did this just for ME!

And also the weather was perfect for ME! It was kind-of-sunny-kind-of-cloudy, so it was not too hot. This was very nice. I'm sure this was for ME too!

Did I mention that I am eleven? But I still zoomed after my Ball! Because I am amazing. And I am very sprightly for my age. And I am celebrating ME!

Ten

Dear friends,

I turned TEN! This is more years than I can count, even using my paws and my ears and my nose and my tail...

Here is my birthday portrait. I am very serious, because TEN is a very serious number. I am now Very Wise, and if you are a young pup you should listen to everything I say!

For my birthday weekend, my people took us to find SNOW! This was very exciting, and I did much zooming and rolling in the it. But there are no pictures.

Instead, here is a picture of me with Ojo on the morning that was actually my birthday, before we found the snow.

I think TEN years is enough, don't you? I am going to start counting backwards. Next year I think I will turn nine again.

I am NINE!

I am nine years old! My person forgot to post this on my birthday. I guess she is getting old too. For my birthday we climbed a mountain! (I love to climb. But I don't love going down as much.) 

I am awesome, because I can still climb high even though I am old and wise and NINE!

(It takes all four paws, both my ears, both my eyes, and my tail to count to nine! That is a lot!)

I am very wise now. You should listen to me when I give advice!

Here I am with my person on top of the world on my birthday.

Happy birthday to my littlest person! (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Today is my littlest person's birthday! (Although I do not know why Cobi and I call her our littlest person, because really she is very big!)

My littlest person got presents! This is because it is her birthday.

I wish I knew when my birthday was so that I could get presents too! But it's not that bad, because my littlest person shared! She got the insides of the presents, and I got the outside! I love ripping up wrapping paper! This was fun!

Cobi hung out with Grandma. And yes, since this was a Special Occasion we were even allowed on the couch!

Cobi does not like tearing wrapping paper, although sometimes she does like to eat it. Instead she was busy waiting for Cake, because that happens on birthdays too!

Is it Cake time yet?

Happy birthday to my littlest person! I love you very much!

I am seven!

This weekend was my birthday. I am seven!

Seven is a very big number. In order to count that high I need to use all of my paws, plus my tail, plus both my ears. This is very big counting.

Seven means I am becoming wise. Ojo should start listening to me now.

We went on a special trip this weekend, and I am sure it was for my birthday. We climbed high into the snow (I love snow!), and then we played at the Beach! (We will share that tomorrow!) We got extra dinners at bedtime. (Which I'm sure was for me, not because Ojo needed to take her medicine with food.)

And I got a new toy. This is Dragon. Everyone, meet Dragon. Dragon, meet everyone.

Ojo likes Dragon too...

Happy birthday, ME. I am now seven!

I am Six!

Today I am SIX!

This is very many years. It is hard to count that high! This is as many as all of my paws plus both my ears. Or else all of my paws plus my nose and my tail.

What is important is that I am a Wise Dog now. But I am also still fit and athletic! I can zoom with the best of them. I am pretty much perfect, I think!

This is me as a puppy, even before I met my people. Wasn't I perfect and cute then too?

This is me a little bit older. (What was wrong with my ears? Why are they floppy like that? I do NOT have floppy ears. Maybe the camera made a mistake?)

And here I am with all my brothers and sisters. Happy birthday to them too, wherever they are!

My birthday!

Today is my birthday! I am four!

This means that I have had four summers with my people. Santa and Rudolph have for me come four times. I have had four winters to chase snowballs. Four times I have watched the orange squashes grow scary faces to glow in the dark. I have grown four winter coats and then taken them off. And I have gone with Nature through all her seasons four times!

Isn't that a lot? I'm very old!
