Junie was a sweet, gentle dog with big, brown eyes. Today was his birthday, a day he had been looking forward to for weeks. He had imagined balloons, birthday cake, and lots of belly rubs from his human, Emily. But as the day wore on, Junie started to feel a little lonely.
He waited by the door, his tail thumping excitedly, hoping to hear a familiar voice. Emily was usually the first to greet him with a happy birthday song and a special treat. But hours turned into days, and still, no one came.
Junie curled up in his favorite spot, his big, brown eyes filled with sadness. He missed Emily’s warm hugs and the playful games they used to have. The house felt quiet and empty without her.
As the sun began to set, Junie decided to take a walk. He wandered through the park, sniffing the sweet scent of flowers and listening to the birds chirping. As he walked, he couldn’t help but feel a little lost.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice calling his name. He turned around and saw Emily running towards him, a big smile on her face. Emily had been busy with work and had completely forgotten about Junie’s birthday. She felt terrible about it and promised Junie she would make it up to him.
That evening, Junie had the best birthday party ever. Emily baked his favorite cake, decorated the house with balloons, and invited all of Junie’s doggy friends. Junie was so happy, his tail wagged so hard it almost knocked him over. As he ate his cake and played with his friends, he realized that even though his birthday had started off on a sad note, it had ended up being the best day ever.
