Birthday Girl

Yesterday was Kaylinn's 2nd birthday. In the world of no children, a dog's birthday is quite the event, so I don't want to hear your condescending remarks - just deal with my sheltered life. So, as I was saying, in celebration I went to the fancy dog store and bought her some new treats and a can of high end soft dog food. Specifically Buffalo dog food. Yes a) they sell dog food made out of buffalo, and b) I purchased it. The ingredients read: Buffalo, water enough for processing. Pretty sweet. This is a major treat for the Kaylinn pup because the cats have been getting soft food in the mornings ever since Mishu had to have her antibiotics, and Kaylinn sits just outside thier room looking longingly at the plate of deliciousness that she is unable to enjoy.

Thus, after dinner I opened up the can an she was instantly interested. When she realized that I was going to be giving this to her and not the cats she could barely handle the excitement. Which resulted in her eating the food in approximately 3.2 seconds...well maybe more like 30 seconds, but it was mighty fast.

After she ate the food we gave her the can because she likes licking out all the remnants of can. Apparently the buffalo is mighty tasty becuase she carried the can around like it was a special toy and cuddled with it on the floor. It was actually kind of sad when I took it from her, but she seemed to be trying to chew on it because there was no buffalo left to lick out.


All in all, it seemed like a successful pup birthday. That morning she got to eat one of her Christmas presents from Dudley (via Brandy). They were these iced dog treats that were cut and iced like snowflakes and snowmen. In contrast to her buffalo experience, she took them daintily from me and licked at the icing and then bit by bit ate the cookie. It was actually quite entertaining to watch. So between buffalo and iced treats, Kaylinn had all she needed to be happy with life. Well that and a little playing with the ball.

Notice Kaylinn is not taking her eyes off the ball on the dresser

still not taking eyes off the prize!
