The episode kicks off with Rob and Big brainstorming about how to celebrate Meaty's birthday. They decide to throw a "doggie karnival" at a local park, complete with dog-friendly rides, games, and treats. They also plan on inviting all of Meaty's furry friends to the party.

To prepare for the party, Rob and Big visit a dog bakery to customize a cake for Meaty's big day. They spend an exorbitant amount of time discussing the cake's flavors, texture, and decoration, and it becomes clear that they are putting more effort into Meaty's birthday than they have ever put into their own.

On the day of the party, Rob and Big go all out with their decorations, setting up a carnival-like ambiance in the park. There are balloons, streamers, and games galore, all customized for the canine guests. They have organized a dunking booth where owners can dunk themselves in a pool of water while their dogs watch. There is a dog-friendly seesaw, a mini dog-ramp, and a dog agility course where dogs can show off their athletic abilities.

Meaty's cake is so elaborate that it deserves a segment of its own. It's shaped like a bone, and the frosting is a mix of peanut butter and cream cheese. Meaty is ecstatic when he sees the cake, and Rob and Big give him the first piece which he devours with an expression that is nothing short of pure bliss.
