Hi Donna, Max and Murphy! Thank you so much for my birfday wishes! Yes, like you guys, I Ruv my snow!!! I eat it, I roll in it,I like to hop on top of it when it is like an ice mountain!!! Yup, an energy boost for sure! 🚀
Prissy Miss Lily thanks you also, kitty kisses have been delivered!! 😽😻
Angel hugs and kisses to Murphy on this wonderful Valentines Day! 😘 🤗
Petra, Stewie 🐾 & his pestering Pride >^..^< 
Remember...“live in the moment!“ 
Happy Birthday Stewie!!
Birthday number 8 was really special for Spirit Maggie. Based on her prognosis she wasn't supposed to make it to 8, but she did and made it all the way to 11!!
So Super Stu- I hope a little Spirit Tripug Maggie rubs off on you so you have lots of birthdays to come!
It's a school night for me and Elly and after class we always stop for a burger that we share on our way home. Tonight's burger will be in honor of Stewie!
We can't really help with the kitty birthday though... Elly feels that all cats need to be chased. In fact I can not say the word 'cat' around her- she races to the nearest window and barks like crazy. If I say it while we are walking she immediately goes into hunt mode.

Tri-pug Maggie survived a 4.5 year mast cell cancer battle only to be lost to oral melanoma.

Spirit Maggie is such a HUGE inspawration to us!!!! Honestly, she really is!!!! I mean 11years old, when she was told no way!!!! Way to go Spirit Maggie!!!! What a way to say “in your face!!!” Thank you for making Stewie’s birthday that much more special, ‘cause without hope, we have no direction!!!
So Super Stu- I hope a little Spirit Tripug Maggie rubs off on you so you have lots of birthdays to come!
Yes, we can feel the love and the rub as I am reading and writing back to you!!! Rots more birthdays to come Spirit Maggie!! Cheers!!

I hope you ordered an ice cream too?! 😉 Stewie thanks you!

then you had better keep quiet on the kitty end of things Karen! We certainly don’t want the mad dog of Baskerville chasing Miss Lily, she has a bit of an attitude and the face off probably wouldn’t be too amusing! Hehehe! No Kitty’s Elly, it sounds like your an excellent hunter!!
Karen and Elly, thanks for the best wishes, Stewie has been a bit giddy all day and acting more goofy than normal... he must be feeling all the beautiful birthday wishes and excellent vibes coming off of all you Wonderful People (Watu Wazuri! 😉
Stewie sends massive hugs back to you both and of course extra special spirit kisses to Spirit Tripug Maggie for her inspiration and hope today!
More pictures will be forthcoming! We went and picked up Stewies birthday cake today and Wyatt will be super pleased to know that it is exactly like the one in his special video that he sent today. We discovered that it isn’t cinnamon, but peanut butter!!! Yum!! Video to come as well...
What a pawsome day it was you guys!!! Stewie and I want to say thank you for all of your brilliant wishes! ❤️ I think we were both on cloud 9 all day! Stewie just needed to look in the direction of the treat jar today and it seemed like he was getting somwthng! He really is soooooo spoiled!! He definitely is not complaining in the slightest!!! Hehehe! Quite the day this big fella had today though and I know we are all very grateful that we could do that for him! Paul even got into the festivities today... hehehe well kinda! He certainly got a kick out of watching Stewie eat his tray of treats!!!
Miss Lily definitely had more treats than she probably should have, so we held off on the tuna for today! But she also said to pass on her gratitude, as she felt pretty vindicated in her prissiness today! She always loves an excuse to get hissy pissy! 😻
Stewie also went into town and picked out his own squeaky toy, now much to Stewie’s chagrin they DIDN’T HAVE ANY HEDGIES!!! The look on his face was priceless as the girl was going through each of the squeaky toys, he would sniff and then as if to say, yeah okay, but its not a Hedgie...next... I was killing myself laughing! Im sorry i didn’t take my ipad into town with me so I didn’t get pictures of this priceless moment, but we are going to be sent through a picture of Stewie meeting up with one of his litter aunties that he just loves. I will post it here when I get it. You guys will definitely be able to see the Rotty/retriever mix in her. She is a real sweetheart! Plus, some other pics will be posted here too...
Here’s a few of his moments from his Birthday celebrations and may we say thank you for all of your well wishes once again. You helped us have a very fun day!
And now for some videos...
So that’s it for now my dears, I shall post the other pictures when I can get them all downloaded. Cheers to you all!!!
Rots of Ruv from Super Stew ❤️❤️❤️
No Hedgies Stewie? 
What pet store doesn't carry Hedgies for Stewie on your BIRTHDAY?! The nerve buddy!! 🤬
What is the little colorful dude you picked out ? Is it a cow? So glad to see you found one suitable for you even if it was not a hedgie🦔
Better tell that pet store they MUST restock some Hedgies for you, by next month‼️
I see Mr Ted was wanting to share you buffet he wasn't shy.😻😽
I didn't see Miss Lily was she still hiding from the video🙀
Glad you all had a fantastic day of celebrations🎉🎂 Look forward to seeing the rest of the diary😉
Rots of Ruv to you all and keep celebrating !!

I did get a monkey for my Birfday, but my Mum hadn’t included those pics yet... Here’s my monkey, he has a funny squeak, but at least he has stuffing!
I see Mr Ted was wanting to share you buffet he wasn't shy.😻😽
Teddy is a food hound, dressed in catssssss clothing!! I think he’s an alien Miss Holly 🙀 He doesn’t act or talk like a cat at all!!😾 Mum calls him a HooCat! See.... an alien! Im being surrounded by aliens 👽!!!
I didn't see Miss Lily was she still hiding from the video🙀
Hehehehehe! No Miss Holly, Miss Lily doesn’t go very far... especially when food is involved! 😻 She definitely got her fair share of all the treats yesturday, but as you can tell the Alien food hound is there to steal all our food!!! Grrrr 😼
Glad you all had a fantastic day of celebrations🎉🎂 Look forward to seeing the rest of the diary😉

I am very proud to introduce to you, my litter Mum’s sister, Mia! She is 11yrs old and she is my best mate. I saw her walking on the street the other day, when I was in my truck and I yelled and whined to get out and say hello to her! I can smell her a mile off! That’s my Aunty!!! She came by my store yesturday and we were sure to get a picture for my birfday together!
Mia’s hooman Mom, is my hooman Aunty Val. She is the sister of my first hooman Mom, Sandy!

WOW what a pawty! Nothin' better than all your friends and a big ol' tray-o-treats, they looked so yummy! And wow you are just sooooo gentle with the food, I love how you savor every bite. That never happens in our pack, stuff gets gobbled up the moment it hits the floor!
Good boy Stewie, hope you have many, many more!
