That's why I'm flying the balloons and offering you a cupcake or two.
Mum's planned quite a day and it all starts off with a visit to those people in white coats and stethoscopes.
Yes, you've guessed right. It's a trip to the vets for my second set of jabs. Whilst I'm not looking forward to it, it does mean that I get to go beyond my garden into the wider world in two weeks time!

| Just love Maggie's Rug Mum! |
Mum's taking a Maggie a couple of surprises too. She's taking Maggie a "Herman The German Sour Dough base" that Mum's been nurturing for 10 days. Mum's split the mixture into 4 portions, added fruit to one portion and baked a lovely moist cake out of it.
The remaining 3 mixtures are given away to Mum's friends. It's a local tradition and know as the 'friendship cake" because each of Mum's recipients will nurture their mixture for a further 10 days, split into four, bake one and offer the other three out to friends and family. Bit like a chain mail cake!
Anyway, back to my birthday.
10 weeks is a bit of a milestone in puppy terms. I'm growing fast, am very inquisitive, mischievous but it is a period during my 'socialisation' stage that I could become a little cautious.
For example, Mum plays me various sounds to get me used to hearing things like crying babies, car horns, children screaming, washing machine, thunder, fireworks etc, but yesterday I really screamed when the toast popped out of the toaster! (that wasn't on the CD Mum!)
I'm getting used to my collar and lead and Mum is doing everything to make sure I remain outgoing during this very important stage of my development.
I've only been living with my new Mum and Dad and pussycats, Lily and Hugo for less than 2 weeks, but already I'm protecting my territory with a little WOOF when visitors arrive.
I just want to thank Mum and Dad and the pussycats for making my life so happy.
Cheers!
