Happy Birthday Tovo!

Today is Tovi's Birthday! But we celebrated yesterday since I have to work tonight. A coworker gave me a good idea to help him celebrate. So, we took him to Petco so he could pick out some new toys. And he took his job very seriously. Tovi loves toys, I mean really loves toys. He is forever surrounding himself w/every last one of his toys. I assumed he would take any toy offered to him. But the boys were delighted that he wouldn't and he actually choose some toys and ignored others. And then it was back home to a birthday feast of roast chicken, mashed potatoes, steam veggies (can you tell who picked that out :) ) and birthday cake for Tovi. I also got a video of the boys eating dog treats which I will be saving to embarrass the boys w/later.
Tovi always loves going in the car w/us.
Not the yellow or the blue one. Tovi wanted the green one!
Yeah another squeaky toy!
Chef Lucas quickly finished his homework and then helped w/ Tovi's cake. Tovi doesn't usually get regular food. Well, except the occasional taste of peanut butter. But that doesn't count. The boys were really set on making him a cake and we found a good recipe.
Noah turned his nose up at the carrots. I guess he didn't fully read the recipe!
Tovi was loving his new toys while we were baking.
The boys wanted to give Tovi the WHOLE cake, but I thought a slice would be just enough.
I don't think Tovi was as excited about us singing Happy Birthday as he was about the food in his bowl.
Yummy!

Noah was the only one who tried the cake. Well, I took a taste. Noah was not impressed w/the icing. I guess he expected my famous frosting. The cake was pretty good. But I had to agree w/Noah about the icing. Tovi however licked his bowl clean. Have a good weekend!

Happy birthday Tovi- we are glad you are part of our family. It looks like you had a great party. I am glad you loved your new toys and birthday cake.

Tovi is so lucky to have you as his family. I don't know of a dog who is more loved. One doesn't have to spend a lot of time with the boys to know how much they love their dog. What a great family you all are. You do it all.

Happy birthday to the black goof. At our house, he gets out every stuffed toy, he is something.
