Only dogs will accept ice cubes as birthday presents.

Earlier this year, I learned that dogs love ice cubes. I'm not sure how I managed to just find this out now, but I'm glad I did. I've seen fewer things funnier than Alice contemplating how to eat an ice cube.

So for her birthday, I decided to fill her water dish up with ice cubes as a special treat this morning. She got so excited, she wiggled and bounced around. And then she started digging them out. It was the cutest thing.

I did it again tonight and recorded it.



You should see our kitchen-- there are serious puddles. Plus her feet are completely wet, and she knows it-- she's jumping up on us, leaving little wet footprints everywhere.

Happy Birthday, Snugs.
