My birthday!

Oh boy, you guys! I had the BEST Momma/Casey day for my birthday!! Momma promised me that we could spend a whole DAY together as a birthday present. We got started furst thing in the morning.

Where are we going, Momma?

She took me to a brand-new park! I'd never been there before, and it was soooo pretty.

But before we started exploring, we sat at a picnic table and Momma pulled out a special surprise.

Really, Momma? Just for ME? 

Yummy!! 

After enjoying my nummy ice cream cone, we went exploring around the park! It was so cool.

I wanted to have a chat with these guys and ask them if they know my furiend Goose, but Momma wouldn't let me get near them. Hmph!

Then there were these guys. I don't know what they were doing, but they had Marine flags and they did lots of shouting of "YES SIR!" I loved watching them, especially when they dropped to the ground and started doing push-ups. Better them than us!

They had a volleyball court, so I got to feel the sand between my toes. It was just like being at the beach!

I was not a fan of this bridge. It felt weird to walk across it. I was hoping Momma wasn't going to make me go over it again in this picture.

Sitting by the lake was much more my style! You can see I'm stylin' my brand-new Julius K-9 harness. It was an early barkday present from Momma.

The best part of my new harness is the pawesome BOXERPOWER label on it. It makes me feel like a superhero!

We walked all the way around the park TWICE. It was grreat.

Momma and I even sat on a park bench together and posed for a selfie. Except I didn't want to look at the camera. I was trying to catch another glimpse of my Marine buddies.

I didn't think the day could get any better. But THEN Momma and I headed to Sonic for lunch!

 Om nom nom nom! Cheeseyburger!!

And THEN we went to Lowe's. I love Lowe's! It's dog-friendly, but not many people bring their dogs there. So I'm usually the only one around and get fussed over LOTS! I had tons of folks coming over to pet me and fuss over me, plus I got to investigate all sorts of new smells.

 OMD. This was just the best day EVER. But then when we got home, Momma said there was one more thing to do. She pulled out my Captain America bandana, which confused me a little. But then she pulled out Cap himself! He's my most favoritest superhero. We settled in together to watch Captain America: The First Avenger together, plus POPCORN.

 This was just such an amazing day. I could barely keep my eyes open for the post-credits scene. I don't think I could've designed a better day. There was just one thing missing.

Ohhh yeah. That's it. Love you, Momma.

Love you too, Casey. Happy birthday!
