#FurkidFriday: How Joshua The #Degu Celebrated His 5th Birthday (FD)

Hi everyone. This is Joshua the degu.

You may remember I had a birthday last month... Yes? Well, I never did tell you how I celebrated it in the end, did I? So that's what I'm going to do today. I waited until now for two reasons: I wanted to let others have a turn on this thing, and my main birthday present came late... The human caretakers said something about it needing time to arrive in the post, which I don't understand, but meant it was after my birthday when I got it.

Anyway, on my birthday I got extra nibbles, like I hoped I would. The human caretakers gave me extra helpings of Shreddies... My favourite! Plus I got some kind of minty treat the humans had found for me at the petstore place, which tasted pretty good, if you're interested. I got a new cardboard tube to play with too. I love playing with those!

The thing that came late was something the human caretakers say is called a "sundae" - or something like that - they seemed to think it was important to point out it's not like the word "Sunday" for the day of the week. I don't know why. Also, the Mummy human says it's important for me to point out that it's a wooden one, and not a "real" one. I don't know what she means by a real one, because it seems plenty real to me, but she keeps saying something about how I wouldn't be able to have a real one because of "greedy ants" being a problem. At least, I think that's what she said. Though what ants have to do with it is beyond me. Either way, here are a couple of photos of me playing with my not real wooden sundae:



And here's a short video of me playing with it too:







So, that's how I celebrated my 5th birthday. It was a good birthday!

Squeak soon,
Joshua

What we know as a sundae over here is quite different. The come in a dish with a spoon. We'd call what you got for your birthday an ice cream cone, I think, from what I can see. Regardless, it looks like a well appreciated treat!! :)

That would usually be the case over here too, but the packaging said "sundae" so... *shrugs*
