I was celebrating today!

Hi, my name is Monty and it was my 3rd birthday today.

Mom got all crazy again with her camera, but I'm used to it by now. First, she made me wear a B-day hat, which I did not mind. What I did not like was the wind blowing into her backdrop. But I'm a big boy so I managed to pose for a treat and still keep my eye on the backdrop in case it wanted to attack me.

If that was not enough, Auggie came to celebrate with me. Well, I think he mainly wanted to eat my treats.

Mom made a special raw lamb patty cake with a layer of baked pumpkin for me. And since I turned three, I had three pieces of Vienna sausages as candles.

Once Dad came home from work, he gave me kisses for my Birthday.

And then Mom wished me a Happy Birthday as well. I love my Mom, she makes good cakes! I always give her kisses but today I gave her extra ones since she tasted like Vienna sausages...

I just could not wait to enjoy my cake!

Somebody told me to wait till Auggie gets his little cake as well...well, his cake was not as fancy as mine. It was MY birthday after all!

Auggie had to wait as well (I guess that's just fair) while Mom took our picture.

And then I went for it. Man, was it good!

And since it was MY birthday, I went for Auggie's cake as well. He will get to celebrate when it's HIS party.

There, all done! Happy Birthday to MEEEE!!!! Auggie, you can lick my plate now.

Note from Monty's Mom:

No doodle feelings were hurt in this party, Auggie got an additional little cake with his dinner later on and got to chew on a pig ear as well.

On a more serious note, Monty is truly my heart dog and he grew up into a wonderful companion and a therapy dog. I love him beyond words. Happy Birthday, my sweet boy!

Happy Birthday to wonderful, Monty! It has been a joy watching you grow up. Glad your DM and DD spoiled you on your birthday. You deserve it!

Happy Birthday, Monty!  I LOVE the birthday cake idea.  I'll have to keep this in mind when Traz turns 1 year old in a couple of months.  Wonderful photos :-)

We love you, Monty! It was nice that you shared a little with Auggie, but he should know it was right for you to get the lion's share! :-}

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

Aww, that's cute! Love you, guys! Yes, Monty got the lion's share. Poor Auggster only got a few licks.
