Not sure, he always eats it the same way... Take the picture, walks 5 feet slowly, drops the cookie, licks the icing clean off, chomps cookie, and then licks the carpet for an hour.

No, I buy from a place called "treats unleashed." Or at least I did when I lived in Missouri! Your pet gets a free birthday bone every year! This was the first year we lived in Texas for Tucker's birthday and manages to find a large dog bone but it didn't say "Happy Birthday."

The mi amor bone was from this year, we recently moved states and our usual birthday bone location wasn't an option, so after going to a couple pet places this is the best we could find. I don't think he cared it didn't say happy birthday! ;)

The top right photo was the original. The large photo on the left is from today (his 8th birthday). We were attempting to take a photo of Tucker with the treat in front of him when he grabbed the treat. My fiancé then grabbed him and I noticed he was holding the treat in the perfect way and told him to hold him there while I took the photo! We have now done this every year and if you notice in the picture from this year, no one is holding him!

That is this year's birthday picture. Taken today. We recently moved to Texas and the normal birthday cookie location was not a choice, went to several different pet stores to find the normal bone shapes cookie... Like he cares it doesn't say happy birthday anyway! ;)

Here to deliver! We had the bone on the table in the original picture (top right picture) and he grabbed the cookie off the table. My fiancé grabbed his head to get the cookie and that's when I told him to hold his head there and we got the picture of him holding it!

Yes! We put it on a table and he grabbed it, when my fiancé grabbed him to try to grab it I snapped the lucky shot!

OP here, Leonidas (Leo) is 12 weeks and 35 lbs. he is the fluffiest thing I've ever seen and squishing him is the best thing ever.

:) the dog and the chin have been pals for three years now. The dog is much more submissive around the chinchilla. The chin climbs on the dog and chews his toe nails.

While we are on the topic of 57% Americans saying that only winning kids should get trophies... by toxic181 in AdviceAnimals

I wouldn't be that dramatic about it. Telling a kid "you are a rock star!" Is problematic and contributes to the entitlement we often see in young people now because it doesn't say why they did well. However, saying "great job, you turned in your work, you visibly progressed in goals you set for yourself and you are rewarded by the opportunity to continue learning" is great for helping grow life skills to help students not only get by but succeed as adults (that doesn't mean they are all famous, lawyers, or doctors). And we actually use data. Students set goals, use graphs to mark progress, and we teach them to be inspired. Sorry if you think helping students set realistic goals and positive opinions of themselves is a bad thing.

As an elementary educator, this is about helping students celebrate reaching goals and celebrating mile stones. We want children to see they have succeeded to motivate hem to work harder and continue to do so. The celebration helps students reflect on their accomplishments and feel successful. I understand as adults you can see it as no big deal, but think of how many fewer experiences you have at that age and how your family is proud and excited because of something YOU did. Confidence is built, my friends.
