Nuts for Squirrels
Sid’s birthday present (besides his super special cake) was a Hide-a-Squirrel by Kyjen. Marvel as Sid extracts the mini squirrels from their tree stump faster than the speed of light.

Sid’s Baby Squirrels
In addition to Sid’s birthday cake, he also received a new toy, or rather toys-within-a-toy. We got him a Kyjen Hide-a-Squirrel toy from a pet store in the west village called Canine Styles. This has become his favorite toy. We are putting together a video highlighting his manic technique of extracting the mini squirrels from the plush tree stump – look for that soon.
Aside from the fun derived from pulling the squirrels out of the stump, Sid also finds pleasure in carrying the baby squirrels around in his mouth and gently squeezing them. He also likes to collect them all onto his bed and then rest his head on them.
Even though Sid considers himself a “tough guy”, he isn’t afraid to show his tender side to his new baby squirrel posse.
Birthday Boy!
Siddhartha Lamont Sanchez Demski turned five years old today! According to this handy chart, that means he’s 37 in human years – Can you believe it?
To celebrate, Brian made a birthday cake out of Sid’s most favorite foods. There was an apple involved, some peanut butter, and a few dried sweet potato sticks.
Sid waited patiently as Brian put the finishing touches on his birthday surprise. And by “patiently” I mean: he was so keyed up he almost popped a vein. Check out the manic expression in Sid’s eyes:
The finished product:
It’s a cake only a pug could love.
A birthday boy can’t eat his birthday cake without making a birthday wish:
I wonder what Sid wished for…
