HAPPY BARKDAY 2 ME! Yum yum chimken liver cake plus doggo sushi an nuggets an spaghetti

HENLO FRENS

My hooman has been very busy an distracted. So I thot Id take this off her bowl, sowee I mean, plate, so momma wont feel bad fur not publeeshing!

Anyhoo, I jus had me barkday! AM TWO!! WHICH MEANS… AM A FOOL-FLEDGED TERRIBLE TEENAGER SLASH DINO!!! When momma gave me my barkday cake an foods, she said sumthin like “Shelby my wish fur u is fur u to mature faster ok??” So I gave her da HUGEST side-eye EVER to say “STAHP, LINDA! I cant help my own biological development! U know am just a doggo! Also am a boi… and boi doggos mature slower than gurl doggos! Have u not learned from boi hoomans to manage ur expectations?!” Then I borked fur emphasis: “Gib my brain time an me sum treatos! Cos they help my brain develop faster yup I pawmise is tru am not making dis up to get mor treatos”1

So u might know dat momma has dis birthday tradition where she writes a barkday piece an tries to sound all PAWFOUND about lyf an stuffs. I wanna write an essay too but I only hab da brain cell for a listicle. So today I will share a list of stuffs I taught momma.
