Happy Birthday Daddy!

Every year, mummy and I plan a fun way to celebrate daddy's birthday. This year we decided to spend the weekend at a wonderful house in Carmel Valley. 

There was even a special place for me to park my car!

I knew this was a dog friendly house but imagine my joy and surprise at finding a metal sculpture of myself in the garden!

On the day of daddy's birthday I gave him a birthday card that mummy and I had made for him. 

Then I helped him unwrap the big box of presents that mummy had carefully wrapped up.

Mummy said that I was having so much fun helping daddy unwrap presents that she wasn't sure whose birthday it was! I got so excited about all the colours and rustling of the paper that I had to take a time-out to calm down.

To celebrate his birthday, daddy went on a long bicycle ride. 

Mummy and I went for a hike. We explored unknown paths...

I wondered if I would make a good wine maker...mummy said the only wine I did had an "h" in it....what did she mean?!

Then I hung out by the pool and got a tan.

That evening we celebrated daddy's birthday out on the patio. I wanted to give him a big birthday kiss to wish him a very happy day!

Eventually I was able to give daddy the biggest kiss when he was least expecting it!

We celebrated daddy's birthday all weekend long. It was all about sun, swimming, tennis balls, fun and food. By the end of it, daddy and I were so tired that we had to have a birthday nap!!!
