Xena’s 7th Birthday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

T’was the night ‘fore my birthday and up on the couch
Was my Mommy and me and Chia made three.
‘Twas supposed to be just my Mommy and me!

Te, he, that’s my funny poem on my birthday. Here are the pictures my Daddy took of the “night before.”

Watching Daddy and trying to think of what to woof
I told a funny joke!

Chia didn’t even laugh. She’s just jealous. Her 4th birthday is in two weeks. I won’t laugh at her jokes then, either!

Today me and Mommy took a walk through the neighborhood while it was still only 65 degrees. I got to sniff and go anywhere I wanted (as long as the leash reached that far). I saw the orange cat that was on our front porch this week and barked at a man out walking and pooped in the neighbor’s yard. It was a good walk

Then, when Mommy was done grooming two other dogs, she took me to the Home Depot store. She carried me in ’cause the pavement was so hot. By then it was over 90 degrees outside. We walked all over the store, and everyone looked at me and smiled and lots of folks said hi to me and said what a beautiful girl I am, and I wagged my tail at them. That was my best trip ever to Home Depot!

Then, when we got home, Daddy left and went to the store. Guess what he came home with…a doggie cake! He and Mommy invited me to sit in a chair at the table with them. I wasn’t too sure about that.

It did look a lot like a dog, but it smelled really good, like something good to eat! Mommy said Daddy has a strange sense of humor, to which he said, “Don’t you remember? You got a cake just like this for Lexi.” Ready for a flashback?

This picture is from my 10-year-old birthday party. I had a Healthy Choice meal with my Mom and Dad and then my very own cake shaped like a dog. I know, kinda’ weird, but Mom meant well. Can you see the happy all over my face?

I think mine was cuter. And bigger. I ate a couple of bites or three, then Lucy and Chia got a bite (Riley didn’t want any). Then Mommy and Andrew finished it off (Daddy can’t eat cake).

Can you see Chia watching it all closely?

I think all that sugar’s making me sleepy, so I’ll woof with all y’all again soon.
Xena, the 7-year-old Schnauzer Warrior Princess who had a good birthday!

  20. Happy Birthday Xena, that cake is so cute, and you were so nice to share it with others. I am like your daddy, no cake for me… sometimes when I want dessert I eat piece of cornbread. beau loves cornbread. he has never had cake. No cake is allowed here. but he sure gets lots of other stuff. 7 is a good year to eat doggy cake. ha ha… Love you and Mama in the chair, so sweet it is sweet like cake… When Beau eats broccoli he puts out horrid gas… you do not want to smell it. he does eat raw carrots and sweet potato and pumpkins. not much can help a dog who ate his own poop or an avacado… it just has to work itself out
