It turns out I might not have been so mischievous after all….I think Cricket was pretty happy with how her birthday turned out. The leftovers from the cookout lasted a good part of the week, and they were all pretty happy about that! Cricket wanted to share some photos of the birthday fun she and her siblings had:
OK, Momz, I will officially issue a retraction that you made mischief on my birthday weekend! To start it off, on my birthday eve, we all got leftover chicken and fresh corn added to our kibble!
On my actual birthday, we got STEAK added to our supper! Here’s Mom preparing it for us. Do you see that darn Sam trying to sneak in there and steal some?? Trust me, she’s not photobombing here….she’s after the steak! There’s your mischief maker!
We got to play lots of ball, which is my absolute favorite game, and of course the pool was full to cool off in!
Our other special treat was that we got to try watermelon for the first time!! I ate a little bit, but truth be told, Sheba and Luke liked it better than I did. But I ate a little bit. Next time I’d prefer cake and ice cream, please. Oh, and Momz had to keep telling us not to try to eat the rind! Wow, does my face look white in that photo? Am I starting to show my age? Yikes!
Here I am eating my steak dinner, and you can see my nice new collar!! It’s made from recycled plastics, so hopefully it will hold up better than my other collars to getting wet, and not get stinky. Not that I have a problem with that, but the Momz does.
Yahoo!! Here’s me and Sheba celebrating!!
Thank you, everyone, for all the birthday wishes over the last week!! And thanks to Mom and Dad for a great 10th birthday! Sheba’s will be coming up in October, so more celebrating then, PLUS it’s Luke’s first birthday too!
One last thing, I just want to say Happy Birthday to our late cat, Don Juan. Donny and I shared the same birthday, so we always think of him too, even though he’s been gone almost 10 years now. We’re not sad, he was a great cat and we have lots of happy memories of him!

What a fantastic birthday party you had Cricket!! Wish I could have joined in on the fun. Watermelon is a great treat too. I used to share it with my late brother Jessie, who loved eating it with me. Sending BIG Pixel paw hugs for your birthday and for everyone in your gang, with an extra special one for you Jan!! Have a great rest of the weekend,
Pixel & Jenny
We wish you could have been here to share some watermelon with us too, Pixel! Thank you so much from all of us for the special hugs, and we are so glad you came by. Hope you two are having a great weekend as well!
xxxooo
Sounds like you had a perfectly wonderful birthday Cricket!
I sure did, thank you!!
Sounds like a very wonderful birthday! And how fun that you share memories and a birthday with kitty Don Juan.
We love it when our pets share birthdays, it just makes the day more special….especially after one of them is gone.
Don Juan, what a funny name for a cat! Looks like a wonderful birthday with lots of fun and tasty stuff! Watch out for those cats. My cat bro Bert is right there trying to steal out food all the time!
Don Juan was such a big “lover” as a kitten, that’s how he got his name! 🙂
Samantha ended up getting some chicken, so then she thought she needed steak too! You’re so right…. can’t take your eyes off those cats!
I’m so glad your birthday turned out so great Cricket. We’re big fans of watermelon, but I’d hold out for the cake and ice cream too.
Momz has promised to make it up to me for the next birthday celebration (my “gotcha day” is right at the same time as Luke and Sheba’s birthdays).
Love, Cricket
WoW!!!!!! SO much fun!!! I am so glad you had yummy snacks and a great time! Way to go!
And happy birthday to your beautiful late kitty <3
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Thank you, Jenna, it was a fun time!
And thanks for the wishes for Donny too….he was a really great cat, one of the best!
What a great Bday celebration, looks like much fun was had. Happy Bday to Don Juan also, what a nice remembrance.
Thank you! It’s nice to have a day to think of Don specially, he was one of the best cats we ever had.
Wow what a great and yummy birthday! Except for the watermelon. Mom finally gave me some and it was quite the drama! Love Dolly
Ha ha….did you refuse to take the watermelon, Dolly, or did you take it and then spit it back out? I did both, though I did end up eating a couple of pieces. What is it with fruit? Momz keeps trying to get me to eat all kinds. Blech.
Love, Cricket
Oh, happy belated bday, Cricket! Looks like your pawrents threw you one heck of a pawrty! Steak!! Whoohoo! (And happy bday to Don Juan at the bridge as well! He looks like a sweetie!)
Thank you so much, Jackie! I think it was a pretty good pawrty!!
Don Juan was really a sweet cat…he had such an easygoing personality, and he loved everyone!
Wow! Steak for a birthday dinner is very special! I love the photo of you bouncing the pool. The ones of you and Sheba rolling is pawsome fun!
We sure know how to have fun in our pool and yard….we always make the best of it!
I would go for cake and ice cream over watermelon too. Looks like a great birthday!
I won’t let Momz forget….and we’ll all get cake and ice cream for Sheba’s and Luke’s birthdays I bet!
Aw Happy Late Birthday Cricket! That pawty looks absolutely pawsome! Sam’s photo bomb is awesome btw. We also were pawtying it up this weekend for Lily’s birthday. We had a party at a pizza place and then she had some friends over for a sleepover.
Thank you, Ann! It sounds like Lily had a very fun birthday too! Momz told me she and I both turned 10! Pizza sounds good too…maybe I’ll ask for that next year. 🙂
Love, Cricket
Looks like you had a fantastic birthday party! I’m not letting my pack see this post… don’t want them getting fancy ideas about steak 😉
Our lips are sealed!! But we also wonder how Momz is going to top this for Sheba’s and Luke’s birthdays….what could be better than steak?
Looks like a party to me!
It certainly was, and a fun one at that!
Oh WOW! What a birthday celebration! You got steak?!? Yum. I love that collar…is it orange?!? I love orange!
*high paws* for a fantastic birthday!
Oz
Yes indeed, we got steak!! And yup, the collar is orange (tangerine technically), that’s one of our favorite colors too, and we also thought it was perfect for fall!
Steak! Yumwumwum! Happy belated birthday! Woooowoooooooooo!
Thank you, Ku!!!! The steak really was the best!
Awesome!! Looks like a great birthday!
We tried to make it as great as possible!
What a great birthday weekend recap! (((hugs))) about Don Juan xoxo
Thank you, Caren! Especially for the hugs for Donny…he was really an awesome cat. xxoo
Oh boy! Cricket and EVERYONE had fun for the birthday party! The food looks great – the pool looks cool, and playing around in the yard is always terrific. I’d say it was a WIN!
Hugs, Sammy
We think it was a win too!! Thanks, Sammy!!
It sure looks like everybuddy enjoyed Cricket’s birthday! 🙂
They are all happy to join in on the celebration….including the cats as you could see! 🙂
Looks like a GREAT birthday, Cricket! Too bad we don’t live closer to each other — we could have a giant birthday party for you, Sheba, and my Shadow! And Callie’s half-year birthday is on Shadow’s birthday (Oct. 16th). And there’s also Ducky’s Gotcha Day on Sept. 17th.
Oh, it is too bad….we could be partying for all of September and October!! And Luke’s birthday is also October 27th…we’d be pretty much getting everyone (except the cats, which is OK, hee hee)!
