Our dog Barbie turns 8 years old today, June 4, and as per our tradition, we have some special food, cake with candle and ice cream. Of course, there is the singing of the birthday song even if the dog doesn't understand. And the food is only for humans because Chinese food is not good for dogs.

@Alexandoy That's a long time. I hope she will have more birthdays to come. But I guess she cannot enjoy her birthday food though. Hahaha

@Hannihar yesterday all our 3 dogs were expectant of the food because of the aroma. Chinese food have nice aroma. But we do not give our dogs Chinese food for there might be MSG (monosodium glutamate). They have their own boiled chicken wings.

@JimBo452020 that is the concept of pet. But there are many I know who gets a dog and let it loose in the street.

Are you sure your doggy does not understand?
What will your doggy eat? Chicken drumstick?

@eileenleyva our pets are 8 years old and 12 years old so we should know not only their idiosyncrasies but also their health issues.

You get to treat yourself on account of dog's birthday. Happy Birthday to Barbie!
And I am sure dogs understand that there is a special occasion. They are too smart.
