IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!

Oh, yes- it's time for presents, hugs and (pup)cakes as I have  reached DOUBLE FIGURES. Some may say that reaching 70 dog-years of age is pretty daunting, but I disagree. Although I'm getting a little more achy than I used to be, I truly am looking forward to spending more time snuggling and snoozing on the sofa.

This morning, I was performing my best Springer leaps as I charged around the room looking for more gifts to open and eat. Coincidently, I share my birthday with one of my humans but no fear- my birthday is absolutely the most important event of 8th October. The perks of sharing your birthday are that everybody is in the party spirit and, of course, the fact that I have more opportunities to sink my teeth into layers of wrapping paper to shred to paper snowflakes.

When it was finally time to open my presents, I discarded of the unnecessary covering of my gifts (though, obviously, wrapping paper adds to the fun) and found myself the proud owner of a packet of Jumbones, a tennis ball toy and many other things. My humans gave me one Jumbone to eat earlier on and I can safely say that I broke the record for the shortest time required to destroy and diminish the whole thing: sixty seconds. Just another achievement to add to my ever-growing list.

Man, birthdays are just good for everything.

What a Marvellous Day.

First and foremost: I hope you all had a brilliant Christmas yesterday, whether you spent it with your family and friends or in your pyjamas (or both!).

I, for one, had a BRILLIANT day.
At 9am, I was the first one in my family to open my presents as obviously I am the most important member of the family. As you may know, I ADORE sinking my teeth into a load of wrapping paper and shredding it into pieces less than a centimetre long so when I saw the size of my two presents, I knew that I had a lot of work to do. However, 20 seconds later, I'd completed my task and laying there before my eyes was a loooovely new bed and a Nina Ottosson game- woop! I started tackling the puzzle whilst it was in the box and was so pleased to find 3 treats hiding behind each obstacle,

Ripping open those presents...

I've got this thing in the bag...

Mastered it!

As much as my humans would like to put the presents underneath the Christmas tree, they know that a certain someone is always quite keen to have the first look at what is inside each of them...!

Looking angelic on my brand-new bed...

Following the unwrapping (or unripping, I should say!), my humans and I went to our relatives' house for a delicious roast and more gift-exchanging. Despite not getting any Christmas lunch IN THE SLIGHTEST (outrageous, I know), I had an incredible day with all the family. Perhaps I'll get roast leftovers later on? *crosses paws*

 I wish you all a fantastic Boxing Day and a memorable last week of 2014!

Talk soon, Jasper x
