She didn’t, this year, get to go to her favorite place, outside of here, i.e., ‘Fort Williams‘. We had some important commitments that could not be moved around.

Instead she got a special Doggie Birthday Cake, from Boston, plus the traditional burgers. This year she got 2.5. Also a few new squeaky toys.

Oh, she also got to go in her NEWEST car to McDonald’s to get the burgers. She loves her rides and looking around the McDonald’s parking lot.

So, she had a good time & good day. Braxton lucked out too. So a good day for the dogs.

Last year. Her 2nd birthday.

She is a bit spoilt. Not much. Par for the course for this household.

She actually really like ‘Fort Williams‘. She has been going there since she was a baby. It a dog friendly park, by the ocean & on most days there are lots of dogs for her to socialize with. Plus, other than today when it was raining & there was hardly anyone there, she always gets people stopping to admire her — & talk to her. She loves that. So, we took her to Fort Williams despite the rain. Three of us got wet but had a good time. It was WARM. Upper 40s — not bad at all, at all, for the last day of November.

On the way we stopped at a McDonald’s & got her (& Braxton) cheeseburgers. She gets a double because she is a big girl.

She got 2 of her toys (wrapped (of course)) before she left & the other two when we came back. What can I say. I organized the trip & went & got the burgers. The rest was done by her OWNER (which is not I).

While it (i.e., the Mazda CX-30 I leased last month) will be our back-up car, its main purpose is to be Rowen’s transport. Yes, for the last 7 or 8 years we have had a car for the dogs. Not as crazy or extravagant as it might initially sound. Given our beach access we tend to have very WET DOGS during much of the year — & even in the winter they can manage to get soaked in snow. Transporting wet dogs is messy. Hence, having a car that we are willing to get — & more importantly, stay — dirty.

Yes, this is a brand new car. Hence the three layers of covers in the back (& no, you can’t see the seat cover that is on the folded back seat).

This car is going to be set up like this all the time — or that is the goal. Back seat folded, grill up & multiple protective cars at the back. Rowen appeared to like it. It is the SMALLEST of the cars she is used to. She takes up the entire back space. When I look in the rearview mirror I only see dog. Good job I can use the side mirrors & in a pinch the rearview camera.

It took me over a month to get around to getting all of the back set-up per what I wanted. Finally got it done this afternoon. Now the Mazda CX-30 is Rowen-ready & Rowen-proof.
