My Mom had a birthday. It was on a Saturday, November 11. I know because she told me. Mom turned older, maybe even older than me. But I’m still wiser. That’s ‘cause I’m a doggy and she’s a human. Doggies are wiser than humans.
We celebrated all weekend. It was fun. I took Mom out into the meadow and played ball with her. I did my very best to always catch the ball every time she threw it. And I ate every treat she gave me. I’m a good girl.
And we went for a ride in the car. It was a really long ride. It was fun. I like car rides.
Mom went away at night. I wasn’t allowed to go with her. She said it was inside a restaurant for humans only. I didn’t understand that. Who ever heard of a place where doggies aren’t allowed. Mom was with many of my aunties and uncles. I love them. I should have been with them. But okay, I’ll forgive Mom since it was her birthday.
We went for another long car ride. The sun was really bight. It felt good. At the end of the car ride we walked and walked. I got to play in the leaves. Everyone kept saying how pretty I am. I am.
Then we went for another car ride. This time we came all the way back home. I was tired but I played ball with Mom anyway. I know how much she likes to watch me run and catch the ball.
That night we watched the sun go down. Mom held me and petted me and told me what a good girl I am. She said I’m really a special doggy and I made her birthday extra special. I did! And I’m so glad I did. ‘Cause moms are extra special too.
