Happy Birthday to Me!!!

I am one today! I am so mature now and I must be loved and cuddled constantly. Dad was out of town for the past two days so it's just been me and Mom. Yesterday she took me to a dog park where I got to eat yummy ice cream. I met up with Abbey there too. It was hot outside that day and I was very tired when I came home, so I had a nice long nap.

Today, Mom gave me some pigs in a blanket. They were delicious! Mom and Dad also got me a soccer ball and some tennis balls. I am such a big boy now and I try to eat my soccer ball. I shouldn't do that though because now the soccer ball is in the closet and I can't play with it anymore.

I can't believe I am one now. Mom told me that just a year ago, I was just a tiny little puppy baby. Now I can do so many more fun and cool things!

WORST. HAIRCUT. EVER.

Mom took me to APC today and I was so excited because it has been so long since I'd been there. They gave me a bath and then they shaved off all my leg hairs. I tried to tell them that it wasn't right, but they didn't stop.

Mom and Dad tell me that I am still a handsome boy, but I know how they feel. My heart hurts. Dad thought that the beard made the dog, but apparently my leg trimmings make a big difference as well. I might have to hide from my friends. And I certainly won't be staring at myself in the mirror anymore. It's just too depressing.

The week started out so good. I went to the pool on Tuesday with Abbey and I played with a bunch of other dogs and I got to play catch in the pool. They even had a treat table! I went there every chance I got. I also got lots of long walks and play time with all my friends like My Okie, Wilson, Robbie, Nina and Martin. Ok, some of those friends don't play, but they let me sniff their butts.

I really hate that the week had to end like this.
