63 Years Old...

9 years old. Yup, 9 years ago, little Jasper, the vulnerable runt of the litter, was born. And now he's 63 dog-years old and as dominant (over humans) as ever.

Where has all that time gone?! 

As some of you may know, I share my birthday with one of my humans, so, every year, we have a lot of guests invading my space on 8th October. However, as it's my birthday, I don't mind at all. I don't think I can recall one human who DIDN'T come up to me, give me a snuggle and wish me a 'happy Birthday'. Even the humans who aren't the biggest dog fans (why wouldn't you be a dog-lover when you know of dogs like me?!) let me give them a good ol' sniff. 

It was brilliant.

Another perk of sharing your birthday with a human is that there is lots and lots of wrapping paper to tear into tiny shreds. Yippee! Who doesn't love sinking their teeth into unopened presents?! Every time my human started opening a gift, I'd belt across the room to try and give them a helping paw. The things we doggies do for humans...

In addition, human birthdays consist of much more cake than doggie ones for some unbeknown reason. Many doggies have to get through their special day with not even a smidge of cake, unless their human makes them a pupcake. Pupcakes are delicious-don't get me wrong- but nothing is the same as some Victoria Sponge. Usually on my birthday, I can find crumbs to lick up or a plate accidentally left on a low surface with half a cake remaining on it for me to devour but, this year, I was distraught to find that my human got a giant cookie cake.

I know. A cookie but a GIANT one. How ridiculous! As much as I love human food, even I realise that milk chocolate chunks in a huge cookie is not the best for a canine. No cake for me this year!

Despite the disappointment regarding the cake, I still had a super 9th birthday, consisting of endless treats and snuggles. 

Here's to life as a 63-year-old!
