As long as I get treats, I'll sit still with this silly hat on my head

Birthdays are a little different when you're a dog.

First, canines probably don't even know that it IS their birthday, because most dogs don't tend to follow their calendars too closely. Assuming they have one in the first place.

Then there's the sticky matter of economics and biology: They lack the direct buying power to procure gifts, never mind the opposable thumbs necessary to complete the transaction.

These shortcomings don't seem to have compromised this particular birthday girl's life, however, and she spent her third birthday much as she did the previous two: Being showered with more love than she could handle.

Come to think of it, that pretty much describes every day in her charmed life.

It's a lovely way to live, and a lovely reminder for the rest of us that the stuff that really matters is usually a lot simpler than we might have thought.

We hope we made today as memorable for her as she makes all of our days for us. We wish the universe would gift us countless more days just like this one.

Because in a dog's life, every day is a reason to celebrate.

The rest of us would do well to follow their lead.
