A Great Big Happy Birthday to Phantom!!!
Yummy Pumpkin Treats from the recipe page of Sugar, the Golden Retriever, with pumpkin, oats, honey, and cinnamon served on a Frosty the Snowman plate (for Frankie Furter).
OK, let's get the flashy beast out of here. I am more than ready to begin the celebration. You are all invited to come share in the treats.
See, there are plenty for me to share:
See, there are plenty for me to share:
Now that I am a senior canine-izen, I don't really play with toys very much, and as you all know, I am Mr. Picky Boy. I haven't been eating very well lately, and it sure isn't because the Momster isn't trying. BUT she really picked the very best way to celebrate my birthday with this wonderful recipe from sweet Sugar. They are delicious, they smell fantastic, and they are just so very crunchy.
Here is a video of me enjoying my special treat along with Thunder and Ciara. Hope you enjoy it.
How did you like my special move?
I am the only one of the pack who can do this.
I may be getting old, but I can pose on the rocks too. This one is for our special friends in the Rockies, KB and her gorgeous labs K and R. We are all crossing our paws here for K, the chocolate beauty, as she fights a nasty infection in her paw and leg.
Woos, Phantom
HAAAAAAAAAAAAPPY BIRFDAY Phantom!

Happy Birthday sweet Phantom. I love your fancy move, especially since you're the only one in the pack who can do it!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to get that BIG pile of treats! Did you eat them all at once? It was awfully nice of you to share with your pack.
You are a bona fide boulder climber! K and R welcome you to the club. And, by the way, they don't think that you're old. They had a big brother who lived 16 years! So, they think 12 is very young!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Phantom!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have an extra special day and get lots of awesome prizes!
Those treats look mighty good and your moves are simply amazing:)
Happy Birthday, Phantom! Thanks for sharing your birthday treats.

Seems like I'm about 15 minutes late with this, but happy birthday sweet Phantom!! Riley's bummed because we missed your actual birthday...or maybe it's because she doesn't have any yummy treats like those!
ReplyDeleteElyse and Riley
Happy, Happy Birthday Phantom!!!
ReplyDeleteI loved your tricks! You are very talented!
And, those cookies look totally yummy!

Happy 12th Birthday Phantom! We're sorry we're late in wishing you a happy birthday (our mommy is in Disneyland so it took us awhile to type this ourselves!). Your birthday treats look very good and we love the video of all of you!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday big P!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, sweet Phantom! You were most patient with your mom making you do all those tricks before you got any of YOUR birthday treats. With age comes wisdom - if we're lucky.
ReplyDeleteJed & Abby
Happy Birthday to you Phantom! We hoped that you enjoy those treats! We thinks that they look furry yummy!
ReplyDeletehappy happy birthday phantom!

Oh - Happy Birthday, Phantom! I LOVED your movie!!!!!! And what a fantastic "cookie cake" - I was drooling just looking at that picture!
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't been visiting much lately - I've still got some of your older posts to catch up on but it's now really late on Sun night here in Australia and Hsin-Yi keeps yawning and wanting to go to bed so I'll have to come back tomorrow to finish catching up!
Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
Oooh, we missed it. We weren't online much yesterday, but a happy belated birthday to Phantom. You have a great move and you certainly don't look 12. Many happy retruns of the day to you.
ReplyDeletelotsa licks, Lola
HAppy Happy Birfday Phantom! Birfdays are veru important and special - especially ones that are the #12!
ReplyDeleteMay you enjoy many more years!

Happy Happy Barkday, Phantom! We hope your day was filled with sun puddle naps, special treats (that part we know happened), a nice walk and the love of family and friends. Our wish is that your "new" year brings you health, happiness, security, adventures, friends, and love. We send ours...
ReplyDeleteBTW Thanks for the kind encouragement. Mom was feeling a little rejected by Puff yesterday but we got lots of good advice to try. Nuka (AWD), our deaf sister, is actually adapting VERY well and acts like a seasoned White Dog Pro.
A most excellent happy birthday to you Phantom! 12 years is old and wise, right? Seems to me you work very hard for YOUR birthday biscuits. But I think they were worth it, right?
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,
Mango
Happy Happy Birthday! Those bones looks most nummy. We love you sitting pretty pose. You are a furry special boy.

Oh Phantom: Happy, happy Birthday to you! We can't believe you are 12 - and can do that sit pretty trick so well! You are also just pawesome at jumping up to a sit from a down - multi-talented are you! We are stuck on something though. We cannot understand how you can lie in front of that plate of nomzers-looking bone cookies without eating them. Me and Avalon would have those finished in five secs flat and probably be trying out the plate too! You are a very good dog! And so polite with yoru food. We are rude and messy doggehs with ours, but we like the tricks everydoggeh did to get treats!!! Happy Birthday, oh talented one - you are just so handsome, especially on that rock! Yes... we are thinking of K too!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs xoxoxo
Sammie and Avalon
Happy Birthday!! Those treats look delish! 12 isn't old!
ReplyDeleteHappy 12th Birthday Phantom!
ReplyDeleteThose treats look so good, it was lovely watching you munching away on them. Your special move is very cute.
I love all the photo's but especially that last one, you look so happy sitting on that rock.
I hope you had a wonderful day celebrating, I loved seeing your sister and brother share your birthday treats with you. :D
Happy Birthday to woo, Happy Birthday to woooooo, Happy Birthday dear Phantom...Happy 12th Birthday, to wooooooooo! We love your "special" pose, that's too cool (and very cute!) The video was great seeing all you beautiful Sibes doing your tricks. Enjoy the yummy treats...and enjoy your day, Phantom!

Happy Birthday, Phantom! Hope you enjoyed lots of treats all weekend long. You may be a senior canine-izen, but you sure don't look like it!
ReplyDeletehappy happy happy 12th birthday, phantom!!! :)
ReplyDeletei totally heard that 12 is the new 5! woohoo! those plumpkin oatmealy honey treatsies look so so yummy yummers, and i'm glad you loved them so much! mama was squealin' with the delights over you sittin' pretty in the video! she just wanted to reach into the compy and give you a big huggle. heehee!
*woof*

I'm late to the party as always, but you know my sentiments. ♥
ReplyDeletePlease let momster know she is not alone in "senior Moments."
ReplyDeleteI now know why my mother finally just atarted calling me and my five sisters using "Marie" as a middle name for all of us (as in Susan Marie, which I am not...I am Susan Sharon-Sarah)...but she simply could not keep us all straight especially when she was mad or we were in trouble.
I don't know how many times since they have both arrived that I've mixed up Nuka and Puff's names but it is LOTS! And Nuka can't even HEAR me calling her! LOL
Phantom...HAPPY 12th Birthday.
ReplyDeleteLots of belated birthday wishes. we are sorry we ars so late we didn;t have access to the puter over the weekend.
Your birtday treats look daleicious. Love the photos.

Dearest Phantom,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday my friend. I would never have thought you was 12. You are so handsome and I wish you ws here so I could give you lots of kisses and {{{huggies}}}. I'm a picky eatr too and Mommy never makes me any cookies. Your Mom is so sweet.
{{{hguggies}}}...Mona & Mommy too!!
Thanks for your kind words. You know, Mango did go to the salon on Friday which normally he loves, but this time they had to put him all alone in the training room. Usually he gets to use one of the indoor / outdoor runs. He was pretty upset and I could hear him howling from the parking lot.
ReplyDeleteIt was also Friday that Dex started to be grouchy with Mango and growling at the big guy and avoiding him. Who knows, though. Friday is a long way from Sunday and we all had a very relaxing and happy weekend.
Mango Momma
happy belated!!!!
ReplyDeletedo come over for your award

Poo! I'm late, but happy late BIRFDAY!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're looking great for 12! Age is just a number, you're still looking not a day past 5!!
HUGS!
A big Happy Birthday from our whole pack.
ReplyDeleteBoy, your Mom really makes you work for those treats. They must taste wonderful. Sky is the only one in our pack that can sit up like you. Mom says it's because he has such a big butt that he can balance more easily on it.
We noticed that TD and Ciara get reminders about taking cookies gently. Most of us get that finger in the air to remind us, too. Samba and the boys like to snatch if Mom isn't paying attention. Tsar is the most gentle, but then he has to sniff everything over and over before taking it. He doesn't trust anyone.
Morgan, Tsar and the Porties
Oh wow! We are SO late! Our apologies for such late greeting, Phantom!
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy 12th Barkday, Phantom! We didn't make it to your first 10 greeters but we are #1... 101! Waaaah What a shame.
You guys are one of our first friends here in bloggie world and we are happy that we have come to know you more as posts are made and adventures are shared.
The barkday treats sure look yummy! And we do hope that you eat lots and continue to do so.
That incredible pose is such a winner. We send you our hugs Phantom!
Love,
Piappies Fudgie, Princess, Frappie, Mocha, Sugar, Wai-Pai & Wai-Max
I am so sorry I missed your birthday Mr Phantom! Happy Belated Birthday from all of us!
ReplyDeleteYour day looked wonderful and those treats - num num!!
Thanks fur stopping over at my bloggie! And Happy Birfday, Phantom. I is a senior canine-izen, too so fur that reason alone I think my mom should hop of ofur to Sugar's bloggie fur the punkin cookie recipe...
ReplyDeleteHappy Barkday to you Phantom! Sorry we are a little late. Hope there are still some treats left.
ReplyDeleteYou sure are smart to be able to do that special move!
Hugs,
Sam & June
Happy Birthday, Phantom!!! A little hint if you haven't tried this already - warm up Phantom's food. Sometimes as pups get older, they can't smell as well. A little warm water for kibble or 8 sec in the microwave for wet food might do the trick! Much love...
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat trick!!! And thats not the only trick I noticed. I also noticed that you only took ONE cookie from the plate. Can you teach Buddy how to do that? He would just slurp and gobble as many as he could fit in his mouth.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Phantom!!
Phantom, so sorry I didn't make it by for your party. Boy am I glad you had some treats left, these are pawsome. I'll be sure to paw the recipe to my Mom thanks for having your Mom provide it. And that move is out of this world. I thinks we should call it the Phantom Paw Maneuver. I bet it gets you lots of treats. Anyway my Mom has been most unreliable about helping us visit our friends and the cats were rather afraid to come to your party with so many dogs around. They were afraid Khrya & some of the others might thinks they were snacks. Happy Belated Birthday ~Fenris
ReplyDeletePS: Hi Ciara.
