A Special Day for a Special Boy





Psssst, Phantom. Hey buddy, time to wake up!


Woo Hoo, open those baby blues - you don't want to sleep
this day away.




"Me? Sleep the day away? I will if I want."





"Give me another five minutes. Hit that snooze button."





"OK, you win, but it better be for something good."





"Really? How can that be? Thirteen??? Me??? Wow, even I am amazed. Happy Birthday to me."




"Since the Momster is still working on recovery, I think I will be happy to spend the day with my pack. Ciara is great company as we enjoy a sunpuddle together."




"Thunder and I can survey the kingdom from atop the deck. He is a great brother and always has my back."




"And yes indeed, even the little (?) guy Lightning can share some time with me."





"So that's what you woke me up for? Today is my birthday. Today I am 13 years young. I trust there will be something tasty in my bowl tonight? How about a nice steak and maybe a side of pasta with a tiny touch of sauce? That would make my day."



So there you have it, not exactly the super party we were planning, but Mr. Phantom will be quite content with some happy wishes for him today.


Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning



Pee Ess: Momster update. We are happy to report that things are much improved. The pain has subsided substantially and the nerve issue is calming down. It is probably due to a combination of the healing process and the physical therapy. She still has a long road ahead, but at least there is improvement. We all want to thank you for your warm thoughts for her and for the many beautiful cards she has received. It is still a challenge and very time-consuming to type with one hand. So for now our blog activity will continue to be curtailed a great deal. We thank you for understanding.

  63. Happy Birthday, Phantom! We hope you got your paws on some of those treats you were angling for. Good to hear your mummy is getting better. Poor thing: sore paws are the worst because every time you touch something, it hurts!

  64. Feliz Cumpleanos you gorgeous Phantom.

    Did I say that Misery had a bad arm/hand/shoulder/wrist etc when I pulled her over once upon a time? Probably.

    But things do get better.

    And we give your mom a special tiny Pippakiss for always taking the time to come by us.

    She is one top person.

  71. Ha wooooo's and Happy birthday my friend! I'm sorry I have been away so long. This new interloper we have is taking up a lot of time.

    I must say, you look darn pawsome for 13! That's our Samuel's age too. And, I can't believe how much Lightning has grown. I watched the video of him and Ciara running around the yard. How fun!!! Khady is trying real hard to teach Lean the same trick!

    Hope your mom is healing up quickly and that you all have a wonderful, safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

  72. Happy birthday, Phantom! It was worth disturbing your beauty sleep so we could celbrate with you and your pack!

    So glad your mom is seeing/feeling some improvement!

  73. Happy Belated Birthday Phantom, we are sorry we are late visiting. Hope you got that steak in your bowl.

    Glad to hear the Momster is recovering. We thinks if she spends enough time napping with you she will feel better in no time.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Happy Belated to Phantom! I'm sure he enjoyed himself!

    You know, every injury I've suffered...still flares up from time to time. I still have a "catch" in my stitches from my foot surgery almost a decade ago. My spider bite from two years ago...still tingles!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Oh boy, I can't believe I missed your birthday!!!! I am so sorry, Phantom. I hope you had the most wonderful day ever!!!

    I am so sorry to hear about your mom's injury. I missed this, too. Hope she is recovering and not in too much pain. My assistant will receive two black marks for missing these important posts.
