To celebrate our birthday, (August 6th) , our humans gave us a little outdoor party - een feestje (a small party) - complete with decorations and "lekkers" ( tasty things) :-)
Here's the "lekkers" ...yummmm zalm paté (salmon paté).
We surely enjoyed ourselves, as you can see.
The colorful banner decoration on the table reads "Hartelijk Gefeliciteerd", which is the Dutch version of "Happy Birthday" ( literally translated, it means "heartfelt congratulations").
Of course, this greeting is also followed by either a handshake, a hug, or the very Dutch tradition of 3 kisses. They also sang the traditional Dutch birthday song for us:
"Lang zullen zij leven,
Lang zullen zij leven,
Lang zullen zij leven in de gloria!
In de glo-ri-a,
In de glo-ri-a!
Hieperdepiep, hieperdepiep, hoera!"
(Long shall they live, long shall they live, long shall they live in the glory. In the glory, in the glory! Hip, hip hooray!)
I liked the 3 kisses, but Sacha squirmed a lot since she doesn't like getting picked up. We both did enjoy the song though. :-)
However, what Sacha really liked was the zalm paté - she thought it was lip-smacking good!!!!!!
Look ! , we licked our bowls sparkling clean - all gone!
Wij hebben ons schaaltjes helemaal schoon gelikt! Alles is weg!
Het was heerlijk!
(it was really delicious)
