HAPPY BIRTHDAY BURRITO. THAT’S MY GUY
Krissy, that was too generous!
Was that Patty working her magic with waffles again? Sounds like Neggie enjoyed them, too. We’re in the 20s this week (I know, boo hoo), and it’s the only time of year I crave pancakes. The body tells you to put the winter lbs on.
Thanks for the past cam, JB! Yep, sounded like he was full, though Jamie was still happy! Happy enough to kiss Annie! Nice upcycling the tomato packaging!
Thanks for sponsoring, Paulette!
JB, how many coconuts do you guys put out for 6 chimps? (obviously more than 6).
So nice to see the birthday honoree find the extra prize!
Watching again, Bubby, coconuts don’t bounce!
The window glass next to the main door of the playroom, by the kitchrn. Is that new? I feel like it was mesh before…
Nice swagger clip on the end!
Happy birthday, Bubba!!!! It’s always such a joy to see this ball of energy and (sometimes) chaos just living life and having fun.
I’m not surprised the birthday boy was able to pack away three coconuts, but managing to almost fill himself up too much for pasta is quite a feat! Luckily, Burrito’s got a second stomach for pasta!
I got a good laugh out of seeing Bubba trying to bounce on his coconut and tossing around his jolly balls. Happy birthday, Bubs!!!
Thank you, Paulette, for sponsoring the birthday of your one trie valentine. And I dig the 70’s cop show incidental music to accompany today’s video of the coolest cat this side of Detective Shaft. But what is truly music to my ears is the sound of Burrito’s food squeaks.
Bubba Lewsky is simply irresistible! I so hope that he has had a happy birthday and that he will have another good new year of living large. I love that Bub.
What excitement! I just love to see and hear them enjoy the sight, then the taste of their goodies. It must be so satisfying to the caregivers to know that their efforts are so much appreciated. And our lovely birthday boy obviously enjoyed his special day……Happy Birthday Bubba!
I was going to type “wish I was there with you to share Burrito’s birthday fun” but what with the delicious sounds of pant hoots and the colourful food display- not to mention those birthday gifts- I truly felt I was there with you all. This video was a joy to watch and I felt privileged to share exuberant Burrito’s very special day. I trust he slept well after all that largesse. Happy birthday, handsome Burrito and thank you Paulette for sponsoring such a special occasion. We certainly appreciated this.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET BURRITO! I LOVE YOU BUNCHES!:birthday::kiss::kiss::heart:
Happy Birthday BigGuy! xo Thanks for sharing your party with us
42?! Can’t be! Clearly there’s been some transposing of numbers and Burrito is turning 24. Look at him! He’s like Tigger…. “Bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!” Three coconuts and he had such a hard time opening them. When he decided to bounce on one I thought I’d die. He is so funny. Deserving of all everyone did for him on this special day. Krissy, you knew how to please the birthday boy. Actually, everyone was pleased.
You guys throw the best parties. Thanks for all the extra time and care to ensure Bubs and gang celebrated with pizazz.
Thank you Paulette for sponsoring Burrie’s birthday! :heart_eyes: Live a long, healthy and playful life, Burrito boy, you’re a :gem:- happy birthday to you!:birthday::burrito::spaghetti::gift:
Burrito’s special method of opening coconuts made my day! So glad the Birthday Boy had an absolute blast and managed to find room for pasta (maybe the bouncing helped?). He is pure joy, bless him.
I think there were a dozen or so?
Hi Linda – Not sure what that might be but there’s no new glass. Could it have been the howdy door or the food chute that looked that way?
Thanks! I’ve always wondered how you know how many plates, coconuts, whatever to put out
No, it wasn’t the howdy door. Maybe you just never shot from that particular angle before. I just never noticed that there was a glass between the wall and the door. Funny how the little things that you never noticed before pop out. I’ll go back and rewatch “contraband” or the one about Jamie and her iPad and I’ll probably see quite clearly in there what I what I missed here.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Thanks
Happy Birthday, Burrito!!
Burrito made out like a bandit on his birthday! O, what fun he had! Thank you for sharing this video with all of us.
Paulette, thank you for sponsoring! Such an enjoyable day!!!
OMG that sexy macho swagger at the end just killed me!! awesome video JB. Thank you! Thank you all for loving our boy.
