Burrito’s big day post #1

January 6, 2009 by Sarah

It’s the big B’s big day!! He is such a happy guy. We had a lunchtime party consisting of presents (of course!), chestnuts, coconuts, frozen oranges and watermelon, cranberries, pomegranates, a birthday tree (since we didn’t have a holiday tree) and Burrito’s favorite meal: spaghetti! Here’s a quick video of his excitement at seeing the spaghetti! More pics and videos shortly!

    Happy Birthday Burrito!!!!!! This has to be the very best birthday Burrito has ever had! I hope he eats his spaghetti and fruit and then displays like crazy! And I hope the girls are extra nice and groom him very sweetly today.

    I kind of understand how he feels, I get that excited when I see that I’m going to get Fiori chocolates. Do his eyes roll into the back of his head when he eats spaghetti like mine do when I’m eating Fiori chocolate?? 😉

    Can’t wait for the next post ~ Sarah, you’ve teased us letting us know there is more to come shortly ~ and we love it! Thanks so much!

    Happy Birthday You Handsome Devil You!

    wow those are some very happy food grunts – and was that a playface we saw!?! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Burrito with a play face!

    Happy Birthday and Happy New Year Buddy! Plus Hundreds More!

    (too funny-does his eyes roll in the back of his head!!)

    Happy Birthday handsome!

    I love that sound of excitement over spaghetti! I remember the video right after he got at CSNW eating his spaghetti and grunting. It is still one of my favorites.

    Oh Shelly K as if I wasn’t already enjoying all the videos, pictures, and blog. You made me laugh til I cried. Maybe it is because I can relate… as long as it is the dark chocolate!
