Happy Friday Everyone! it's a sunny morning and seeing the sun was quite a surprise because rain has been in the forecast almost every day this week.
Today is our little dog Mushs birthday! She's 15 years old and starting to show her age. She doesn't quite run up the stairs as fast as she used to and sleeps more. Right now she's all curled up on her blanket and snoring. She doesn't even know it's her birthday. But, she's still a diva 
My daughter is going to take her to Starbucks over the weekend for a "pup cup" as a birthday treat. In case you aren't familiar with Starbucks "pup cups" it's a small cup of whipped cream just for your pup. Pup cup is short for puppuccino and it's free.
Fall is right around the corner and I'm looking forward to cooler temperatures and all my favorite tv shows will be back. I'm not looking forward to it getting darker earlier even though I've noticed it's already happening.
It's funny how during the summer months we tend to eat dinner later (around 7pm) whereas during the winter months we eat more like 6PM and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact it's dark earlier.
Meanwhile we still have some warm days ahead and tonight we're just having grilled chicken with salad. Nothing fancy....just easy peasy.
Today looks like a quiet day for me and I'm hoping it stays that way.
Hope your day goes well

I think most people celebrate their pets birthdays these days. Furbabies are family

So Mush is 15? Puppicino sounds sweet. We have 5 cats and each gets special attention on their birthdays. Our newest additions, Finn and Colbert were 2 in May.

Your cats are lucky to have their birthdays celebrated. I'm sure they enjoy a little extra attention on their special day

Happy birthday to Mush! Here is too many more for that sweet baby. No one knows Sadie’s birthday, so we celebrate the day she came to live with me. 
After many sunny days it is gloomy here, but if we get rain, that’s okay. Today it is supposed to be 96 degrees.

Actually today is the day my daughter adopted Mush so we count this as her birthday. She was around 3 yrs old at the time so we guess she's about 15 now.
Your temperatures today is about 10 degrees higher than here.

Happy birthday, Mush!!! And yes, we celebrated Freckles’ birthday. Since she was found as an unclaimed stray we didn’t know her exact birthday, so my mom suggested we honor my grandfather by celebrating her birthday on his birthday…so that’s the day we picked!

Happy Birthday to Mush.
We always celebrated our pet's birthdays.
Our son does the same thing.
We are eating at a slightly later time tonight, as I have 10 hour fasting bloodwork to get done in the morning.
Nothing fancy here, just burgers and fries in the air fryer oven.

Good luck with your bloodwork tomorrow. I don't mind getting bloodwork but the fasting part is hard

I would have celebrated my dog's birthday but we don't get cakes in my city that dogs can eat.

Thanks, Happy Birthday to Mush. I always celebrate my pets bdays, although I have no idea what Nico's exact birthdate is, but I celebrate it anytime in June, as I surmised from talking to others that was his birth month, but any day during that month will do!

Happy Birthday Musha! When we had dogs we spoiled them terribly....in a good way, they didn't get too many treats or anything like that. We definitely celebrated their birthdays.
I hate that the days are shorter! The weather is taking a big turn on Monday. Thunderstorms and rain and temps around 70. Have a good weekend.

Happy birthday to Mushs!
I didn't know that Starbucks have "pup cups". Wonder if they offer this in Hong Kong.
