Piper's Birthday Pics

Piper's birthday kind of got delayed a bit or just extended. She got sick Sunday night. She started to feel better and better as her birthday(Monday) progressed. Just as the NFL has their concussion protocol, I have a fur baby stomach related sickness protocol(long title for it but it works). After 14 years with the boys there's a definite way to deal with a pet's stomach issues....trust me!  That being stated her birthday celebration which included her tuna "cake" was pushed back to Wednesday night. She was none the wiser that she was celebrating a couple days late. Oh wait she wasn't celebrating late, she was extending the celebration. Wink-wink! My grandpa Pete was an expert in extending his bday celebrations every year!

We did give her a gift on Monday which was an epic failure. She didn't like it at all. She liked the packaging more than the gift. Since I was still hiding from the public thanks to the burn on my face, Brad was completely in charge of Piper's birthday shopping. The funniest part was him trying to convince her it was a good gift. Lets say he got tricked, he thought the "kitty vault" came with toys inside. But in reality it was just a kitty vault and no toys. The purpose is to place a few key toys in the kitty vault with catnip, that way the toys are infused with catnip. Don't get me going on the catnip part of the gift. We as pet-parents decided we were not going to introduce her to catnip. Poor Brad got two perplexed stares come Monday night, courtesy of both ladies in this household.

Skip ahead to Wednesday evening, the epic failure gift was switched out and she enjoyed her tuna "cake" complete with sliced egg as the garnish. Easiest cake I make all year! The quickest too! She got a little mouse pull toy, you pull his string and he goes lightening fast across the floor. She loves it. As for her bros they got Halloween toys, little toy pirates. Every dog needs a pirate to beat up on at some point in their life. I'm pretty sure these are the first pirates for the boys. It's so funny the type of toys I pick versus the type Brad picks. I think cute! Brad thinks tough! He wants the boys having toys that look tough and are super boyish. Same goes for their wardrobe now too. He can't have his puggie sons walking around looking like chumps. So the world will never get to see how cute Simmie can look in an argyle dog sweater. Sad isn't it? LOL!

Without further delay...on to the pics:

 This was the epic failure toy.

 Brad tried hard to convince her it was a keeper!

Piper: Nope, sorry daddy but it's all about this packaging.

 Cody watching and taking it all in. He had just gotten done roughing up the little bird when this pic was snapped.

 Tuna cake time! Yes, we are that crazy that she even gets candles!

 Let her eat cake!

 

 

To Piper, happy birthday little girl. We are so happy you are still with us and we can celebrate your birthday. You are the cat that defied the odds. All the odds were stacked against you but here you are! One of my best memories during your health crisis occurred about 10 days after you had come home from the hospital.  While returning to the vet hospital for a check-up and to have your stitches removed there were doctors and nurses surrounding you from all angles as they were astonished you were still alive. Good going hypey-Pipey! We're proud to be your parents and your brothers are super happy to have you as their cat sister. Happy 3rd Bday!
