I’m getting so excited for my birthday on Thursday! Today marks the start of my birthday week! I will be turning the big eight this year and I have lots of plans and wishes! Stay tuned to see what I will be up to, and most importantly, I have several giveaways planned on my actual birthday! I have chosen items that I love, that also keep dogs happy, healthy, and fit! Speaking of fit, you should plan now to join in the FitDog Friday blog hop, I’m one of the co-hosts, you know! Share your ideas for fun and fitness as well as finding some great tips from others!
Now on to my birthday wishes. First of all, I wish my Vikings have a great season. I’m a big sports fan, but Minnesota teams really stink. We usually have the worst record, not the best. I’m hoping after a perfect pre-season, the Vikes can win this year! I found this Viking and am hoping he can scare some sense into the Vikings players.
I will be home watching the game on TV and howling loudly for my Vikings today. I take the sports thing quite seriously unless they start losing as usual in which case I will forget about football for the season. My birthday week would sure be off to a good start if they could beat St. Louis!
Hope to see you all a lot this week as I work my way up to becoming a “great eight”!
PS I know some readers aren’t getting notified of my new posts per email lately. Several blogs are having this issue and we do have an email in to the plugin that handles the email. We hope to get the issue resolved soon. In the meantime, I do post usually daily except for Saturdays, so try to remember to stop by to see what I’m up to even without the notification.
I amΒ joining the Black and White Sunday Blog Hop sponsored by Dachshund Nola and Sugar the Golden Retriever. Sometimes photos are simply more fun in black and white.
Oh oh you might not want to see what I’m doing for Black and White Sunday!
That’s okay, I put my response in your comments π
Happy Birthday Week!!!
Thank you. Stop by all week for fun and on Thursday for some great giveaways.
Happy Birthday Week Emma!!! The only team we can count on here in Minnesota are the Lynx! Howl extra loud for me, we are heading to the Renaissance Festival today! π
Even the Lynx messed up this year! Have fun at the Renaissance Festival. Eat a giant turkey leg for me!
Hooray! A whole 8th birthday week will be fabulous!! We hope your Vikings do well this year, but unfortunately my dad already told me that the Buffalo Bills are going to win the Superbowl…..I dont know how he already knew that?! Have a great day sweet Emma girl!
P.S We cant wait to check out your new blog hop!! How exciting!
My Gramma is from Buffalo, so she doesn’t mind if her Bills win. If my Vikings fail as they usually do, then I don’t mind either π You should join the FitDog Friday hop, it is fun, and full of tips to stay fit.
It sure would be the perfect start to your birthday week if your Vikings won! We’re not huge football fans here, but we play in a betting pool with my family. The Vikings used to be one of my Dad’s favorite teams so I still always root for them. Good luck to your Vikings, and we’re looking forward to your fun birthday week!
It sure would be great if the Vikes win, but we will see. We have some trust issues with them π
Happy birthday. Hope all your wishes come true!

It’s going to be a busy and hopefully great week!
Wow, Emma… 8!! Know you’re going to have a great birthday week π
I have my paws crossed my wishes will come true and eight will be great!
Happy Birthday week to you
Happy birthday week to you
Happy 8th Birthday week dear Emma

Thanks, Sparkle! You better start planning our first birthday bash. You will turn one before you know it. Bailie can give you some tips, she did it up pretty nicely!
Yep…I reminded the mom that I was 9 months old on August 29th! You got a birthday win from the Vikings! Bet you were howling WITH Joy! π Sparkle
It was so pawsome! Now I hope that is an omen for the entire week!
It is going to be a great week. Have a serene and easy Sunday.
Best wishes Molly
I sure hope so. Maybe the Vikes won’t let me down for a change?
Have a great birthday week, I hope all your wishes come true π
Thank you! I sure hope it is a perfect week!
I hope your Viking brings some good luck to your team…until they play the Giants (if they are even in the same league…) I’m so excited about your birthday week Emma. Can’t wait to celebrate with you!
I will take it one game at a time. If they mess up today, my fan season will most likely be real short! Hopefully the week will be a big success!
We hope your Vikings win today and even better…we hope you have an awesome birthday week! Go Vikings!
Thank you. I’m really hoping things go my way this week.
Happy Happy Birthday week to you!!!!
Thank you π
Oh Emma, no wonder we get along so well…we are both Virgos! BOL I hope you have a great week leading up to your birthday! Birthdays are the best!
Cairn cuddles,
Oz
I sure hope things all go well. This week has a lot of big events for me.
Well awesome….I love a birthday week.
I do too, and I also enjoy birthday weeks of others π
Happy Birthday week Emma. Lots of our friends are having birthdays this week. Oz has his birthday today and my brudder Scooby Doo is turning 8 on the 8th.
Wow, his golden birthday! Hope he has something special planned!
Woooo hooo! It’s great to be EIGHT! I will be eight next year! Oh, sorry about your Minnesota teams…the Vikings are gonna stink again this year too! BOL! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
Grrr…hey, watch your barking tone my friend. The Vikes and the Lions can win, win, win until they play each other, then we can be enemies for a day! Deep down I feel like the Vikes will be losers once again, but I start the season full of hope.
I hope it will be the funniest week for you ever, Emma. I’m one of this readers, I have to type the url of your blog always with my own paws, because the reader will show me new posts.
Have a great sunday, I cross my paws for your team!
I’m off to a good start with a Vikings win! Yay!!! Now on to my Monday wish.
Omd!!!! Those pictures are the best!!!! I love the one with your viking hat! I had to show it to everyone over here. Everyone loved it!
Thank you. I think I make a cute Viking, and they even won today!
Happy Birthday Week – that is a great way to celebrate
It will be a real fun week!
Happy week!! But sorry, mom says the Broncos are the best. Go Peyton!
At this point in the season, I don’t care about any team but the one the Vikes are playing. Your Broncos can win all they want as long as it isn’t against my Vikes. We actually won, so I’m pretty excited.
We know how special the week will be because you are special Emma. Happy Birthday!!!
Thank you. Mom says that I’m special thing goes to my head sometimes, but I disagree.
Happy birthday! Today is the first birthday of our newest addition, my daughter’s kitten (now cat?) Arata. We’ll be giving him his party later today. I need to make up a batch of dog cookies for our five hounds, but our three cats will be sharing in Arata’s gifts. He’s so spoiled!
If that cat was like my cat bro Bert, it would just eat the dog cookies with us! Happy celebrating!
Happy early birthday to you!!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Emma! You sure don’t look 8 years old! I thought you were younger than me, and I am not yet 7! Hope your mom gets you a liver cake for your birthday. I do so love them!

I try to stay young with lots of exercise and a good diet π Tuesday my birthday choice of dessert will be revealed…I think it will be a popular choice!
Happy Birthday! Hope you get your birthday wish!
I got my wish today, but my wish tomorrow is the most important of all!
Oh my gracious! I have to get my sweetie something for her birthday. Hmmmm…this is so exciting! XXOO You make a lovely Viking. β₯ Your Basset, Bentley
I must make a good Viking since they actually won today! Wait until you see what I am wearing on my birthday π
We have been having trouble with not getting some blog posts, also. It is very annoying. Someone suggested it might be a GMAIL problem.
Hmmm…not sure about that. I’m waiting to hear back from JetPack to see what they say. One blog I wasn’t getting email from fixed their JetPack issue and now it is working, so I’m hoping they can help me out.
Happy upcoming birthday, Emma! I bet you can’t wait for the big day. And we can’t wait to see what the prizes will be. π
I am really excited. I will be able to fully concentrate after my nose work trial tomorrow, though. Hope I do well.
Oh Yay! I love birthdays!!
Me too!
Happy Birthday Week and go Vikings!
Amazingly, the Vikings won! I hope it is an omen for the whole week!
Your birthday week is off to a good start with a win by your Vikings! Our Bills won too! We can’t wait to see what you have planned for this week.
Millie & Walter
Today is the biggest day for me next to my actual birthday. I sure hope I can do well at my NW1 trial.
It are my birthday week too! Only mine are on Friday.
Pawsome! One day after mine. Sometimes I wish I had a different day because so many humans are sad on my day, but I can’t help the day I was born.
I love your glasses, Emma!! π Happy Birthday! <3
You know I like to be stylin’! Hats, glasses, and collars are my thing.
I do love that you have an entire birthday week!!
Some of my dog friends have an entire month! Mom says a week is good enough. I’m okay with it too.
Birthday week sounds fun! Love the Viking garb. π
Thanks! I love that we won, amazing surprise!
Yay! Birthday week! It’s great that you get the whole week! I bet there’s cake and presents in your near future?
Stop by tomorrow to see my choice of birthday dessert!
Happy soon to be 8 π Golden Woofs
I’m ready for eight. Seven has been pretty decent, so eight will be great!
I have been getting your blog in my email with no problems…….so far! BOL!

It seems like just a few are having issues. Who knows what happens in cyberspace!
Emma the viking! Love it – can’t wait till Thursday
I do make a cute Viking, don’t I, and they won too!
You make a fine viking but I think I like the purple get up better π
Have a great Happy Birthday Emma and hope you have a great week too:)
Thank you!
Love birthday weeks but for some reason I have not gotten any of you posts for two weeks. I miss you.
You have to check the blog, I usually post every day but Saturday. Thank you for telling me as I have heard that from one other fan and I’m trying to find out the issue with the plugin team, but I need email addresses from those that are not getting posts. I just sent yours in and I hope they can repair the issue as it is frustrating for me as well. If you start getting notifications again, please let me know so I know the situation has been fixed.
