IT'S OUR BIRTHDAYS!!!
Lucy: Okay, first of all⌠HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!! đđž
Sally: And to our brother Charlie too!!! Triple threat of cuteness and chaos officially turns ONE today.
Lucy: So the day started at Charlieâs house, whichâhonestlyâalready smelled like a five-star steakhouse.
Sally: Thatâs because Judy was outside grilling steaks like a backyard legend. We tried to superviseâŚ
Lucy: By supervise, she means we sat under the grill hoping something would âaccidentallyâ fall.
Sally: Meanwhile, Wylie and Big Daddy Rob were doing their very serious human bonding activityâŚ
Lucy: Drinking beer and laughing loudly at things that didnât seem that funny.
Sally: We assume itâs a human thing.
Lucy: The real action, though? The doggie door.
Sally: Oh yeah. The three of usâme, Lucy, and Charlieâwere running in and out like it was the Puppy Olympics.
Lucy: IN!
Sally: OUT!
Lucy: IN AGAIN!
Sally: WHY ARE WE RUNNING?!
Lucy: NO ONE KNOWS!!!
Sally: Charlie tried to act cool, but it was his first birthday too, and he was just as wild as us.
Lucy: At one point he forgot which side of the door he was on and just bonked into it.
Sally: We didnât laughâŚ
Lucy: âŚokay we totally laughed.
Sally: Then came Phase Two of Operation Birthday: we all headed up the street to OUR house.
Lucy: And WOW. Mommy went all out. The kitchen looked like a party explodedâin a good way.
Sally: Balloons everywhere!
Lucy: Banners!
Sally: Toys!
Lucy: Tutus! (We looked fabulous, by the way.)
Sally: Birthday hats and bandanas for me, my sister & brotherâwe had more outfit changes than a pop star.
Lucy: And then⌠the food.
Sally: THE FOOD!!!
Lucy: Barkday cake for usâfinally, a cake that understands our lifestyle.
Sally: And cupcakes for the humans. Honestly, theirs looked less exciting but Big Daddy Rob was knocking them back like they were M&M's
Lucy: But the real MVP?
Sally: Judyâs bacon-flavored Pup Cups.
Lucy: Charlie LOST HIS MIND.
Sally: Iâve never seen someone eat so fast and still try to lick the cup for ten minutes after.
Lucy: He tried to lick MY cup too.
Sally: Rookie mistake. I guarded mine with my life.
Lucy: After that, we all went down to the pond.
Sally: Running, splashing, chasing⌠something⌠maybe nothing⌠definitely everything.
Lucy: At one point we barked at a leaf for five full minutes.
Sally: It deserved it.
Lucy: And just like that⌠we realized something big.
Sally: Weâre not tiny puppies anymore.
Lucy: All 3 of us are officiallyâŚ
Both: BIG DAWGS!!! đđž
Sally: Weâre faster, louder, and somehow even better at causing trouble.
Lucy: And weâre very proud of ourselves & our brother.
Sally: But honestlyâŚ
Lucy: The real heroes here?
Sally: Our parents.
Lucy: For surviving an entire year of us stinking, wild, adorable rascals.
Sally: We chew things.
Lucy: We zoom at inappropriate times.
Sally: We ignore instructions.
Lucy: Selectively. Very selectively.
Sally: But we love big.
Lucy: And we party even bigger.
Both: Happy 1st Birthday to US and Charlie!!! đđž
Now⌠where are the leftovers? đ
