Archie on his 3rd birthday, stretching his legs and wagging his tail with excitement. He could sense something special in the air! The sun poured through the window, casting warm rays that danced across his fur. Today, he hoped, would be filled with extra cuddles, treats, and maybe even a new toy.
As the morning unfolded, Archie waited eagerly for his family to wake up. He nudged them gently, his big eyes shining with anticipation. But as the hours went by, it became clear that they had forgotten. There were no balloons, no cake, and no extra love that day.
Feeling a little dejected, Archie wandered into the backyard. He chased butterflies and barked at the birds, trying to shake off the disappointment. But deep down, he missed the excitement of a birthday celebration.
Later that evening, just as the sun began to set, Archie heard a commotion from inside the house. Curious, he dashed to the door, and there they were—his family, holding a colorful banner and a big, delicious cake! They had planned a surprise celebration all along!
