You've had a birthday!

Shout Hooray!  Oliver turned 2 on July 3rd! And guess what... there were fireworks all week around the city to celebrate it!  That is what they were celebrating.... right?!

We let our pup party in style with a day full of treats, ice cream, play time and of course dress up and pictures.

He was NOT pleased with me when I told him to sit for the inside chalkboard shot.  Check out the look he gave me.  Easy with the attitude buddy, it's your birthday!

So, I took Oliver and Max outside for a little sunshine and fresh air.  He was much more happy and willing to smile for a few shots.

When Ben got home we opened presents and went out for ice cream.  Oliver was SO excited for his new kettle bell toy.  Seriously, I think it's his favorite toy ever.  He carries it with him to every room of the house!

We took Oliver to his favorite ice cream shop.  Actually, this should be everyone on the planet's favorite and it's not even ice cream... it's custard and it is DELICIOUS.  Just ask Oliver, he savored every lick.  He is such a polite ice cream cone eater.  He licked as I held the cone for him (that whole opposable thumbs thing), then when he got to the cone he swallowed it in one bite. Max basically slept through the entire ice cream party, which didn't seem to bother Oliver.

Wishing he happiest birthday and second year of life to the best dog in this world!  He is loving, well mannered, clean, and stole our hearts from the second we met him.  He is the best doggy addition to our family we could have ever dreamed of.  Happy Birthday Mr. Oliver! We love you!
