Yesterday was Lucy’s birthday.<\/p>\n

She is 5 in people years, or 33 in dog years.
\nI found this nifty online dog year converter<\/a>. Apparently the 7 dog years to 1 human year thing isn’t exactly true – or so says this website.<\/p>\n

Anyway. It was her birthday.
\n<\/p>\n

And she really wasn’t all that thrilled about getting her picture taken in that hat. This is how she really felt about it.
\n<\/p>\n

But, I bribed her with dog treats to get her to sit still and wear the silly hat – so we are still friends. She likes dog treats. Really, she is a very tolerant dog. She lets me get away with all manner of cheesy photo-related things. She’s been posed with an Easter basket and a stuffed bunny, wearing a Santa hat, with her head in a stocking, and surrounded by Christmas lights – to name a few. She’s really gentle with little kids too – though I wouldn’t typically go so far as to say that she ‘likes’ them. We really couldn’t ask for a better dog.
\nAnyway – In celebration of her birthday, Lucy gets wet dog food (as opposed to that dry stuff she eats day in and day out).<\/p>\n

This year, Josh was visiting and got to join in the celebration. Watching Dave open the can of dog food was terribly suspenseful.
\n<\/p>\n

We sang Happy Birthday, but Lucy was a little anxious to dive in and didn’t let us finish. Dave had to blow out the candle for her. Silly dog.
\n(Check out her eyeball – she is seriously lusting after that ground up turkey dinner)
\n<\/p>\n

She devoured her birthday meal in about 2 minutes flat. And these two little punks watched her eat every bite.
\n<\/p>\n

So, there you have it. A doggy birthday party. Oh the excitement!<\/p>\n
