Celebrating a dog’s birthday should be special because we never know how many we’ll get with them. For a French Bulldog named Bleu, her 11th birthday means getting lots of attention and being sung to—but she’s really just here for the cake (aren’t we all).

On September 10, 2024, Kerri Louise Masters (@kerri.louise.maste) shared the adorable TikTok video showing Bleu’s birthday and her patience waiting for her cake is admirable.  She’s so polite! Take a look!

In the 1-minute-long video that says, “Just a little boy singing Happy Birthday to his dog,” little Bleu sits next to her human brother as he holds a small cupcake lit with candles. As he sings Happy Birthday, the Frenchie patiently sits still until he’s finished. Once he blows out the candles and offers her the sweet confection, she’s overjoyed, but it’s her regal elegance in waiting that has everyone in awe.

“Happy 11th Birthday to our Boo Boos, we love you so so much,” the caption reads, and a lot of Bleu’s followers have a lot to say about it!

“Absolutely no eye contact because being sung happy birthday is so embarrassing, I feel you girl,” one person wrote. “Aww, love the dog’s face waiting all patiently,” another noted. “Bless her she’s adorable. More life and birthdays to your beautiful lady,” another added, and hundreds of others chimed in birthday wishes for the sweet girl and still, she only wants her cake!

Birthday Ideas for Dogs

For Bleu, 11 is a special age. She’s been a special part of the family for some time and deserves to feel celebrated. Milkbone shared a few easy ideas to make your pup feel like the angel they are on their special day, whether they’re turning 1 or 11.

If you’re throwing a party, it doesn’t have to be extravagant to be great. First, decide on a theme. They suggested the Wild West, beach, or prince and princess party to get the pups excited. Plan games like fetch, Frisbee, or a have dog-specific scavenger hunt fully equipped with their favorite treats to find. You can even give doggy guests gift bags when they go, but don’t forget the cake! There are plenty of dog-approved cake mixes on the market, or you can fill an ice cube tray with low-sodium chicken broth and freeze for a hot day treat.

Whatever you choose to do, make your pup the star. After all, that’s how they make us feel every day of our lives.
