Double cheeseburgers with NO mustard, ketchup, onions or salt. They like the green relish.

It is by now a very old, & dear, family tradition — that goes back at least 14 years, if not more. On their birthdays the dogs (not just the one whose birthday it is) gets, at a minimum, burgers from McDonald’s. I used to also get them ice cream cones — but Rowen’s birthday is in the winter.

Prior to this McDonald’s tradition it used to be a store bought, fairly large ice cream cake. That would get messy.

This was Rowen’s first birthday — though she did get to enjoy burgers at “Braxton’s” birthday in the Summer.

We also took her to PetCo to get her 1 lbs of FREE dog treats — for her birthday. So, she made out like a bandit.
