Birthday Snuggles

I’m on a mission to get some serious kitchen staining done this afternoon, so I’m just popping in with a quick, but important note:

Today we’re celebrating the 4th birthday of our favorite furry companion, Sir Codeman!

Last night, we made a special dog treat “cake” of biscuit bricks, peanut butter mortar, and a perched Beggin’ Strip candle, because what would a birthday party be without a little unhealthy indulgence:

And gave him a manicure or pedicure (depending on how you perceive furry paws):

Julia made him the sweetest handmade birthday cards that any almost-six-year-old could create by themselves. Note the dog bone balloon:

Could there be another little girl who likes drawing hearts more than this one?

Sentiment’s right on. He’s a special buddy.

Now it’s time to squeeze in an extra-long birthday walk to his favorite hydrant. Have a great weekend, bark bark.
