Happy 6th Barkday

~ Tails Around the Ranch

Elsa: It’s a Saturday and with me posting here, I hope you aren’t freaked out. Yeah, I know, it’s weird but there’s a good reason. Today is the House Pony’s 6th Barkday. Mom asked me if I wanted to host a ‘paw-ty’ and being the sweet girl I am {giggle, I know, I could hardly stop guffaw-ing even thinking about it), I agreed.

Wilson Birthday

Wilson: Aww, you love me…she actually loves me. {butt wiggling} Thanks, Ninja.

Elsa: Whoa, whoa, whoa…umm, let’s not go all Sally Fields on me, ok? I’m still just a tad leery of being in close proximity around you. I mean, you know…boy cooties and all. This is probably the closest I’ve been next to you in a while so just be grateful. But don’t get any bright ideas like this is gonna be a ‘thang’ cuz I’m a Ninja and well, we Ninjas live in shadows. Got it? That’s why Mom can never get a good pic of me-I blend in too well and you rarely, if ever, see any details in my face.

Wilson: Oh, I thought it was because Mum’s not the best photographer around {mom wincing but nodding her head in agreement}. Well, I still appreciate your efforts and the good wishes. You’re making me feel loved and that’s all that matters. So…wanna come to my paw-ty and nosh on the goodies Mum’s making?

Elsa: Umm, yeah, no. I was taking a nap when Mom asked me if I wanted some watermelon and I actually turned up my nose.

Wilson: Blasphemy! How can you turn down such a tasty treat? Mum used her doggo cookie cutters and everything and had watermelon juice running down her arms. I mean…come on! It’s a paw-ty!

Elsa: Nope, it’s hot and those candles kinda wigged me out so paw-ty hardy, pal. You like the attention…go for it!

Wilson: Well if you insist. Let’s see…I guess I’m supposed to make a wish, right?

Wilson Birthday

Wilson: {continuing} Umm, let’s see…I want this wish to come true. I know, I got it! I want treats all weekend!

Elsa: {eyes rolling} You’re not very original, are you?

Wilson: Well, what else would you suggest? I mean, Mum already plays with me, she takes me for pawsome walks around the neighborhood, and she is making sweet potato jerky which I just know I’m going to love. And…and…she’s making pupcakes for later this weekend…I mean what else could a guy possibly wish for on his…

Elsa: {interrupting} Do you ever equate the good life with something other than food?

Wilson: {gasp!} Without food?! {head cocked} What’s the point of that? That doesn’t sound very fun.

Elsa: Whatever…you do you, ok? But while you’re at it, please make it a great birthday, okay? I’ve got street cred that needs to be preserved. Don’t want anyone to think I can’t do birthday celebrations.

Wilson: I promise. And thanks for the birthday wishes. Now, let’s cut up that watermelon and get this paw-ty started.

Live, love, bark! 🐾

  1. Happy Birthday a couple days late! Looks like a good party and we love the photo out in the yard. Mom doesn’t have any big yard decorations for our birthdays. You are a lucky fellow to have such a great home!

    1. Thanks, GBGVs…that yard decor was something we came across on our walk (it’s not ours-while I’m not a fan of inflatibles, I couldn’t resist using it as a prop. 🙂

    1. Thanks, guys. No cake left but there is watermelon if you’re interested. 🍉 Elsa is not a fan of the red fruit.

    1. Aww, thank you very much. It was a great celebration and I almost caught a squirrel! Mum wasn’t very happy about that but I was just a whisker away from bagging that bugger. 🤣

    1. Thank you, Lisa. It was a fun day celebrating and being silly. Not that I’d ever be silly but I try to appease Mum. It seems to make her laugh.

    1. Yes, Wilson is the Ranch’s House Pony…because of his size. He’s as big as a pony so that’s why he’s affectionately known as the House Pony. Thanks for the kind birthday wishes.

  13. Wilson – My Man! Happy, Happy, Happy – Joy, Joy, Joy. I hope you had a great day and I hope my Favourite Ninja was loving and kind. On second thoughts – forget the loving part and just go with kind. But –Benji and I hope you had a really great day…

    1. Thanks so much for the very kind birthday wishes from our favorite dynamic duo from Down Under. It’s been a great day of celebration and everyone was on their best behavior. Well mostly. Elsa has had her nose out of joint and has been demanding special treatment. Talk about the princess! 🤣 Ear rubs for your precious lad.

    1. Aww thanks for all the kind comments. You’re too sweet. And thanks for swinging by; I know you’ve had some issues lately and that you took the time to come by means a lot to us. Hugs and tail wags.

    1. Thanks for the Barkday wishes…Wilson will happily clean up any melon that Elsa isn’t as keen on. She does like cantaloupe so I picked one of those up as well so she should be happy.

    1. Thanks guys for the nice barkday wishes. The watermelon was an experiment that actually turned out nicely and Wilson seemed very excited with it. Course, he’d eat anything I think but at least this is semi healthy. Who knew cookie cutters could be so versatile?! 🙂

        1. Cantaloupe has been the melon of choice at the Ranch, mostly because watermelon is so high glycemic. Even if it’s tasty.
