Happy Birthday to Me!

Hello Everyone! It's my birthday! I know you have all been dying to hear about my birthday adventures, so let's get started.

I woke up this morning as usual, barking at Woman while she peed, barking at Woman while she opened the door to let me out to pee, and barking at Woman to get me a goodboy bone for going pee outside. Then we went in to check on the seedlings like we do every morning, returned to the kitchen to put the kettle on the stove and ate a banana. I always get the last bite of banana! Woo-hoo! Woman had some tea, and sung me the Happy Birthday song over and over. She was trying to teach me to squeak my chipmunk in tune with the song, but I have no rhythm. We played some fetch, and I licked hootie, myself, the air, the pillow, the blanket and even Woman until my heart was content. I have to get all my licking out of my system before Ian gets up, because he hates the lick. I also chewed some rib while Woman scratched my butt. It was a good morning. Then we headed off to work ...

Finally it was time for lunch. I have photos of this part!

We loaded up into the car, and I got to sit in the front on Woman's lap! No crate for me today, because it's my birthday! Ian told me not to get used to it though.



Our first stop was the Three Dog Bakery. Here are Woman and I out front.



Here I am checking out some toys. Woman reminded me that I have enough toys at home, and I agreed with her.



They have these awesome bins of homemade treats! Woman got me some of these treats. I really like them.



Here are the special cupcakes I picked out for my birthday.



Then we moved on down the road for some lunch. I chose to eat at a restaurant called Modesto. They had some nice outdoor seating, so the People agreed we could have lunch there.

Here's the view looking down the street from our table.



And here is the view across the street. Aren't those pretty trees?



I ate my little cupcake while we waited for our food.



The waitress lady brought me a bowl of water. Fancy!



Woman ordered this pasta with meatballs. She shared her meatballs with me. They were awesome.



Ian ordered this seafood pasta. He did not share with me.



I quite enjoyed my meatballs. We saved my "big" cupcake for later tonight, so I could spread out the goodness over the day.



There were some dogs in a car across the street who kept barking at me. They were totally jealous of me.



I tried to get Woman to take me next door to Chorizo for a Mojito, but she said she needed to get home and back to work. Oh well, maybe next time!



The restaurant we ate at is part of the Grove Arcade. Here is a picture of the building.



I was pretty wiped out after lunch, so we packed ourselves back into the car and headed home.



I did muster up the energy for a photo in front of my birthday forsythia. It's blooming, but not all the way. Oh well, it's still pretty.



I'm a tired Pug.



I'm going to take a nap now. I hope I have more birthday surprises in store when I wake up! Like, maybe some presents!!!
