The second (or fourth...or 28th) coming of the Basset

I'm 28 today...well, 4 to you human folk that can't seem to get your math right.

So far, it's been a pretty good day. My 'rents are off today - it's about time they had the day off for my birthday. I mean, come on - this is important here. It's my birthday, it should be a national holiday. It's about time it was recognized. I heard something about it being "Good Friday." Of course it's good. It's Friday, which by default is good. And, you know, it's also the second coming of me, Baxter. Right?

Anyway, the day started off pretty good. I slept in today - no annoying beeping by beep clocks in the wee hours of the morning. Then I went out with Dad to poop on some sticks and had breakfast.

Also, my parents just went shopping. I can only assume that it was for my birthday presents. I noticed they came home with some flat ham (or "ham steaks") so that means I'm getting ham for dinner! Yay! I love ham. Birthday Ham is right up there with Christmas Ham, and we all know how I feel about Christmas Ham.

So, I'm assuming I'll get a birthday cake to commemorate this joyous occasion. That will be later though, and, unfortunately, will probably include some humiliating photos.

So - it's my party and I'll have Ham if I want to.

So, honor me. Here are some shots, then and now:

Then:


I'm still using these bowls:

My former favorite way to sleep:


And, now (today):

PS - I can't believe Grandma hasn't even called to wish me a Happy Birthday. Stupid Grandma.
