Today is my birthday! I woke up excited, tail wagging and ears perked, hoping for an extra belly rub or maybe a special treat. But as the morning passed, no one said a word. I waited by the door, watching my humans go about their day, thinking, Surely, they haven’t forgotten? After all, a puppy’s birthday is a pretty big deal!
I followed them around the house, giving my best puppy-dog eyes, hoping someone would notice. I even brought them my favorite toy, thinking maybe they’d play a birthday game with me. But still, no belly rubs, no treats, no cheerful “Happy Birthday, Roger!” My paws felt a little heavier than usual as I trotted back to my bed, feeling a little sad.
The day went on, and I wondered if maybe birthdays aren’t as big for dogs as they are for humans. But just when I was about to curl up for a nap, I heard my human call my name. I jumped up, ears alert, and ran over.
