As we get older, birthdays become less and less fun. They serve as nothing but a reminder that you’re just one year further away from being a kid. But, really, that’s all a matter of perspective. Take these 33 pets, for example. They aren’t about to let growing up bring them down…they’re going to CELEBRATE!
1. “Surprise me with the color scheme, I’ll make it work.”
2. “What, no candles?”
3. “I love my birthday month!”
4. “It’s my three-eighths birthday, y’know…”
5. “Someone take care of this fire so I can eat my noms, please and thank you.”
6. I canNOT get over that pompom.
7. “Can you play ‘Who Let The Dogs Out?"”
8. “I told you not to do anything! Gosh, I’m so flattered.”
9. What dog WOULDN’T want a big ol’ raw steak on her birthday?!
10. “You’ve taken, like, a million pics. Can we just eat now, pleaaassseeeee?!”
11. Now make a funny face!
12. They’ll come soon, promise. Maybe there was traffic on the interstate?
13. “Birthdays don’t count on a diet!”
14. “I know I woke you up at 5 a.m., it’s my birthday…what did you expect?”
15. “Minus the Hello Kitty decor, this is the best day EVER.”
16. “You…remembered?”
17. “Why don’t we do this EVERY day?”
18. It’s all about your delivery.
19. “When is it time for cake?! Put me down and give me cake!”
20. He took birthday suit the wrong way…I don’t hate it, though!
21. “King for a day, as opposed to what the rest of the time???”
22. “So, is it her birthday, or ours? I’m confused.”
23. “Great, now everyone knows I was lying when I told them I was only one.”
24. “Why didn’t I get any balloons?”
25. “I told you I don’t like surprises!”
26. “I’m going to pretend like I know what’s happening.”
27. Do I want any? Oh, no, I couldn’t! It’s your special day, after all…
28. The puppy-dog eyes aren’t necessary — that’s all yours!
29. “You didn’t tell me it was going to be a costume party!”
30. “When do we start taking shots in my honor?”
31. “It’s my party…I’ll do what I want to!”
32. “How old am I in people years? 60ish? Well I get nine lives, right? Cool.”
33. Ultimately, though, they’re pretty good at dishing out some perspective to us on our birthdays, too…
Whether these guys have figured out what the word “birthday” means or not, they’re having the best time! I’m definitely going to take their furry leads and try not to sweat the small stuff from now on. So should you: have your cake (or tuna, or Beggin’ Strips, or what have you), AND eat it, too.
