Sadie woke up on her 9th birthday, stretching her paws and yawning as sunlight poured through the window. She could feel the excitement in the air; after all, birthdays were always special! Her family had promised her a big celebration this year, complete with treats, toys, and maybe even a new squeaky bone.
As the day unfolded, Sadie waited eagerly by the door, tail wagging in anticipation. But as the hours went by, the house remained quiet. No one seemed to remember her special day. Sadie felt a little pang in her heart but tried to stay hopeful. Maybe they were planning a surprise!
By afternoon, she took her favorite spot on the couch, gazing out the window. Her mind wandered to all the adventures she had shared with her family over the years. Those walks in the park, the cozy cuddles on chilly nights, and the endless belly rubs filled her heart with warmth.
Just when she thought her birthday would pass without celebration, her family walked in with a huge banner that read, “Happy Birthday, Sadie!” They were all wearing party hats and had a cake made just for her! Sadie’s tail wagged like a little metronome, and she jumped up, showering them with kisses.
