Boasting about my birthday!

I showed you my cake, right?

Do you want to see it again?

OK!

Here! Actually I'm in the picture too. (And my name is Bobby — not BOOBY!)

Mom and Papa were having a busy working day on Jan. 16 — my birthday.

So I worried a lot.

But in the evening, Kimi-san visited me with the birthday cake.

Not only that, Kimi-san gave me a long walk to Arisugawa Park, which I love.

I walked with Kimi-san and Mom.

And when I came back home,

I had a wonderful birthday ceremony — my first!

The three of them sang Happy Birthday to me and my cake even had a candle! 

And in the middle of the room!

I love Kimi-san.

Although I had to wait until they finished singing (it was really hard for me in front of the cake!), I felt their LOVE. (Although Papa's singing is...well, it's over now.)

I also got a birthday card from Auntie Tokko and congratulations from my older brother Jimmy and Auntie Debbie too.

If you have time, please also take a look at the movie of my excellent manners when eating cake.

Unfortunately, Mom cut the cake in half, though it was still big!

You know, all adults need to have a cup of coffee after cake.

I thought that I had the right to have coffee too. 

So I drank it boldly.

And Mom got mad at me even though it was my first birthday!

I had to apologize. (Japanese style bowing)

But Mom always forgives me when I give her this look.

Then I had a wonderful nap on her lap at the end of my birthday!

I AM A HAPPY DOG

From my diary of January 16.

Good night!
