Puppers are amongst the most pawsitive creatures in our lives already, but when their birthday rolls around and they get to be the center of attention, showered with toys and treats, well their pawsitivity goes through the roof. And we wanted to share a little of that doggo delight with you today.

A dog's birthday or adoptaversary if one does not know their dog's actual birthday, is a truly special day in a pawrent's and pupper's life. It is a day where they get to celebrate all the wonderful things they have done together, all the precious moments shared, the jovial trips taken together and the calm cuddly moments that bonded them. This is usually done with lots of toys and treats, with some pawrents going as far as to arrange pupper parties and even special birthday treats. And you know that a darling doggo cannot contain themselves nor their excitement while around a juicy steak.

So with all the stress and sorrow the work week brings we figured you could use a pupper pick-me-up and made this list to raise your pupper loving spirits.

When your dog gets that look in their eye as though to say “5? How many more years can I possibly have? Who will I leave all my toys to? What is my legacy?”

“Mom, these are scrambled eggs, and with the amount of them that fall on the floor on a regular basis, they are not that exciting…”

“I told you that the themed cakes were getting annoying. Last year you presented me with a steak cake. It was 100% cake 0% steak. How does that seem ok to you?”

Some doggos simply own the birthday look and look fabulous doing so.

“This is all you got me? Last night I saw you demolish a bucket of chicken the size of your head and one measly biscuit is all I get?”

Apparently the excitement of seeing your birthday cake hits each doggo and hooman differently. This being an example of extreme excitement.

17
A true birthday menace, he could not even wait to light the candles…

We like to imagine that this is how celebrity doggos spend their birthday, as pampered princesses.

21
“I don’t understand mom, last week you brought me the same pillow and I demolished it in minutes. Is this really birthday worthy?”

The years might be wearing on for this sweety but she is still here and celebrating.
