Today we are celebrating our dear Trapper John’s second birthday! Obviously it was necessary to have a small doggy birthday party with his brother and littermate, Max, and I even made some pupcakes to celebrate! We’re so thankful and blessed to have his sweet soul in our lives. To honor the occasion, here’s a list of 13 things that we’ve learned about dogs in our time with Trapper. Keep scrolling to see photos from Trapper’s big second birthday celebration!
- The phrase “If I fits, I sits” doesn’t only apply to cats.
- The minimum capacity in the bathroom is 2.
- Watching squirrels is the ultimate pass-time.
- Nothing feels better than running in circles in the back yard at top speed.
- The best way to wake a person up is to stare at them with your head resting on the bed until they notice.
- The best way to stay asleep when pupper is staring at you is to play dead.
- In order to ensure all crumbs are accounted for (like any responsible dog would do), you must keep your head glued to your human’s side while cooking.
- Humans are terrible at giving baths; to make sure you’re completely clean after getting a bath, it’s important to lick all of your paws thoroughly.
- The shadows on the ceiling are fun to chase, especially in the middle of the night when mom’s trying to be quiet!
- Human’s aren’t very good at telling time, you must sit next to your food bowl a good hour before dinnertime to make sure they remember to feed you.
- Wait until your humans are laughing for the perfect moment to tongue them.
- All cars that drive a little too loudly by our house need to be barked at to deter them.
- I love my humans more than anything and my favorite part of the day is seeing them.
