Woo-hoo, it’s finally here…my birthday! I feel like I have been waiting for it for an eternity. Sam here. Mom says I’m finally a ‘tween’ now. And boy, am I gonna paw-tah! We plan to have loads of treats and enjoy the whole weekend before the snow flies on Monday. Even the Ninja is helping herself to treats. Mom baked up some “Best In Show” treats that are tasty and heathy. Full of yummy ingredients including peanut butter and parsley. And don’t forget to try the freeze-dried salmon. Man, that stuff is super addictive!
Our local pet boutique, ‘Taj Mutt Hal’ even called to say they had some special pupcakes for me and the Ninja. I think my pawty is gonna be a lot like one of our Thanksgiving’s where everyone gets stuffed to the gills. But since it’s my day, I get to decide how many naps I can take after I’m stuffed, how many walks to take to burn off all the extra calories I plan to eat and how much of mom’s attention will be all mine. [ahhh, daydreaming about all the fun stuff that’s going down today]
Elsa: Moooommmm, Sam doesn’t get to control everything, does he?
Mom: Well Ninja…it is his special day and you got to call the shots on your Gotcha Day a couple of weeks ago. Only seems fair.
Elsa: Hrumph. Well, I don’t know why he’s so special today. He’s just a big brother.
Mom: Well today is his birthday and that makes it special. Birthday fur-kids get to spend the day the way they want, whether they want to partake of extra napping or tra-la-la-ing around the ‘hood, but I promise you’ll still get loads of ear scratches. Ok?
Elsa: Oh, all right. Pencil me in. Nom, nom, nom. Burp. Oops, sorry ’bout that. Heh, heh…maybe I had just a tad too much salmon?
Sam: Even though I turn 12 years old today, I’m still pretty young at heart. My vertical leap may only be 2 feet now instead of 3 feet but mom says I’m still a goofy pogo stick. Not sure if that’s meant as a compliment but just like James Brown used to sing:
🎶”W-o-w…I feel good Da, da, da, da, da,
I knew that I would, now Da, da, da, da, da,
I feel good Da, da, da, da, da,
I knew that I would, now
So good, so good, I got you
Wow, I feel nice Da, da, da, da, da,
Like sugar and spice Da, da, da, da, da,
I feel nice Da, da, da, da, da,
So nice, so nice, I got you
Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom…W-O-W-W-W!” 🎶
Have a pawsome weekend.
Live, love, bark! ❤︎

Happy Birthday Sam!!!
Thanks! We’re have a blast today 🎇
Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom…W-O-W-W-W indeed! Here’s wishing you all the very best my furry friend, lots of eats and scratches in the very best of places that only we dogs know about. Hope you get some well deserved nap time and a reprieve from baths, at least for a little while.
Not having to take a bath on one’s birthday is a pawsome reason to get one year older! 😆
By the way, that James Brown song was first sung by him in 1966 on the Ed Sullivan show.
Thanks for the 51 year old reference. And THHHHHHPT for knowing I would catch it.
LOL…hey no reason not to relish the classics, right? 😎
A most happy birthday to you! Eat some treats for Choppy!
Guaranteed. 😉
Happy Birthday, Sam! <3 (Taj Mutt Hal…LOL!)
I know…just saying it makes me giggle. 🤣
Cute!
Happy birfday Sam! We never thought you were very old at all so you must be aging really well. So, can you jump on a pogo stick?
Your Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Poodles are well known for their athleticism. And also for being circus dogs. BOL
Happy Birthday Sam!! Enjoy! Sounds like your Mom knows how to throw a party! 🙂

Soon Sam will dread adding a digit to his age.
Nah…it sure beats the alternative. 😇

Happy Birthday Sam!!! I know you’re going to have a GREAT day with your Mom, Dad, and Elsa! (I’m still trying to figure out how we’ll celebrate Shadow’s 13th birthday in a week and a half.) Ear rubs, rump scratches, and kisses to you – and Elsa – from us and hugs to your Mom!
Many thanks. Birthdays at our age are extra special and we hope your precious girl has one as pawsome as she deserves! Ear rubs and hugs.

We may have to listen to this all day long. Waay too adorable. Thanks for the birthday greetings. 😍
I posted twice cause the first one didn’t show. Same with the second. Glad you got them. The cuteness of the video is matched by your own adorable cuteness. 🙂
No worries. The link worked great and besides, who can have enough cute birthday greetings anyway?! 😄

Happy Birthday to you, Sam! It sounds like you are going to have a pawsome day! Tippy is surprised that you could show such restraint laying beside of those awesome looking pupcakes! She said all I would of gotten pictures of would have been her licking up the crumbs. LOL
