Today is Miss Chloe’s 10th birthday! Hoppy Day!! It coincidentally falls on Valentie’s day (very convenient to remember if you ask me!) so its a double celebration! Actually make that a TRIPLE celebration since February does not have a 29th, which would have been her 7 month ampuversary! We certainly celebrate everything we can!

Since the forecast predicted heavy showers the WHOLE week, Chloe and I made sure to celebrate this occasion with an extra long visit to the beach yesterday.

Chloe ran into her favorite puppy Elmur, a pug and beagle mix. A very cute pup I have to say. However, I can’t ever seem to get a picture of them together since Elmur is such a fast pup! One of Elmur’s favorite games is to hide in the rocks and then sneak up on Chloe at the last second to bite her ear. Elmur also likes to bark and bark at Chloe, but she just stares at him like, “Oh young grasshopper, you have much to learn…”. Ok, so maybe she doesn’t actually say that, but she certainly takes the high road ignoring his puppish barking… She does however give into the chase once in a while.  When Elmur gets tuckered out and rolls on his back, Chloe likes giving him belly rubs with her nose.

After meeting new friends and chasing tennis balls down the beach, we sat in the sand and watched the setting sun.

Oh and did someone say dessert? It wouldn’t be a proper pawty without some sort of treat! Chloe got to have a piece of a homemade red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting!
