Charlie’s tail wagged furiously as he leaped around in delight. Finally, the celebration had come! He felt loved, cherished, and grateful for the little surprises that made his birthday truly special.
But as he looked around, his tail began to droop. The room was quiet, and there were no signs of a birthday celebration. Charlie wandered to the kitchen, where his family usually prepared a special breakfast for him on his big day. Instead, he was met with the usual kibble in his bowl.
Confused but still hopeful, Charlie spent the day lounging on his favorite sunny spot by the window, watching the world go by. He chased after the occasional squirrel and enjoyed some pats from his family, who were busy with their own activities.
