After Birthday Selfies

 Yup, Benji is now at the beginning of his ninth year, BOL!!

We took a ride over to the pet shop, which usually is a place to score fun and treats.

Well, there was a kitten adoption event...and plenty of cats too, and there were doggies there too, with their peeps, shopping for doggy things...but the so called pawrty was nothing but a table with advertising and goody bags...no photo taking set up, no pup cups, and well, we were sort of bored in there. Even if *she* bought Benji a new toy, bags of treats and food for both of us. Oh well, we did get lots of pets from employees and customers so it wasn't too much of a lost cause. At least we didn't have to wear any hats in there, not even our bandanas!! That is a score for us!! BOL!

So here are some more birthday selfies of Benji and a couple of Dalton...

Wow, these 'props' make comfy pillows...
I got a new bandana!
Dalton sang Happy Barkday to me...OMD!!
Looking into the future...the grass is a lot greener now, we got a lot of rain the other night!
Since we no longer have any kitties, we missed Hug Your Cat Day, so here is a flashback of a hug with petcretary and Pipo & Minko...apparently being outside and getting hugged was not to their liking, tee-hee...we sure miss those two...and all our other angels...

We are hopping along with all the other SundaySelfies a weekly feature, hosted by The Kitties Blue, at The Cat On My Head.

  1. Happy birthday, Benji! Most excellent and fun selfies. My, a cat could some serious napping on them toys. If you dont need them all, I'll happily nip over and borrow them ;)
    And sounds like you had a good time at the store. Mrs H says too many sweet treats are bad for the figure, and having them all the time lessens their worth. Says she as she has a second scone with cream and jam!
    Have a great week!

  12. Happy belated 8th birthday, Benji. 🎂🎈We saw it was yesterday, but we hope it is okay that we waited until today to comment. You look quite adorable in your birthday hat, but our favorite photo is the ears up one. Mom also loved the one of your mom and the kitties. Hope you celebrate all week. Thanks for hopping with us!

  15. Sort of a sad smile for Hug Your Cat Day. I had a cold/cough so did not prepare at all. Lovely to see them though.

  16. I wish Benji many happy returns of the day and a better time at the pet store next time.

    Pipo and Minko were very beautiful, as is your mama.

  21. You look very chic in your birthday outfit ! I thought Dalton was yawning because he was bored that all attention went to you, and not singing ! See how bad I think ! We also had a very dry weather and a yellow lawn, then the weather changed its mind and now it's raining cats and dogs and soon my feet will become flippers !

  22. Nice Barkday pics, Benji and we loved the flashback with the kitties pic too. If only the weather would moderate instead of feast or famine, or hot and cold.
