You look so handsome today. Murphy and I send you hugs and belly rubs and kisses, and we’re looking forward to celebrating with you next year. Congratulations!
DogDad and DogMom are going to spoil you silly today. Enjoy every minute of it! You are the best. Don’t count the years Max. Just count the fun and love you’ve had. There’s a lot more of that to come!

Max wonders if Miss Lilly could come over and fan him with those ears? He promises a cake reward assuming that elusive cake ever shows up. Thank you for the B-Day wishes.
Lilly would be willing to do that for a cake exchange….however she does not like to fly so we aren’t sure how we would get her there!! Hope that the cake shows up and you have a great day! ❤️🐾
Happy birthday, little man! Ad multos annos!
Next year, secure the cake before they dress you up…though this outfit beats a lot of the others to which you have been subjected.
Lured by the false promise of cake. Bitter reality is revealed and trust is shattered. To add to the ignominy, a costume saying “Birthday Boy” on a very senior Malt. Thanks for the wishes, Helen!
And here, to serve you right for disappointing the birthday boy’s wish for cake, is the descendent of ad multos annos, via the Byzantine church into the Ukranian vernacular, to be sung, endlessly and tunelessly, on birthdays…
Happy, happy Bark Day wishes to our favorite Malt! 14 looks pretty darn good on you! Hope there is plenty of cake..or in the alternative loads of treats. 🦴🦴🦴
He says he doesn’t look a day over 13 7/8 but I don’t know…under the white might be a little grey. Cake…hahahaha…the great lie. Alternatives? Oh yeah! Thanks for thoughts Monika!
He might…so long as his little heart desires no cake at all. Sorry, pup, it’s not on the permitted list. LIES! LIES! LIES! Who is a Malt to trust these days? Thanks for the nice birthday thoughts, Leslie!
Hap Hap HAPPY Birthday, Handsome Max!!!
We hope you have a pawsome day! We wish you the ultimutt fun! Let’s raise the woof in celebration! We wish you many more years to eat cat…er…ah…uh…I meant CAKE! 😉 😀 😛
PATS and RUBS!!! 🙂

Thanks, Carolyn and Cooper for the pats, rubs and birthday wishes! Max is ready to raise the woof if only he were a bit taller but I’m sure Coop will sympathize with that plight. As to cats, not on the menu – Lois would throw a fit and since it’s Lois it would be a BIG fit.
You’re welcome!
Yes, Coop understands. 😉
Ha! My fingers typed cat and so I thought I’d go with it…of course, I immediately thought of all the cats in my life AND all of the people in my life who had cats adopt them. No offense meant to any of them. As even little Cooper says, “Cats rule and dogs drool.” 😉 😀
Well all of our family cats come to visit AND all of the neighborhood cats like to come sit on my porch for some rubs and conversation AND they bring me “gifts”…so they must know I loves them. 😻 😻 😻
They make Cake for Dogs, Max. I got one for my birthday one year. 😊. Start woofing to your pawrents that if they love you, they would get you one. – Guilt-Inspiring Geordie

Thanks Xena, Lucy & Mom! Max agrees that the best pan is to eat up and enjoy life, gobble it in big portions, burp loudly and go back for another bite. Warrior Schnauzer Princesses and their sidekicks always have good advice.
