Guess what! Fritz turned 11 years old...(77 in people years) this month...so I decided that warranted a birthday party. Went online and found invitations and ordered them. Then decided it would be down at the park...made my usual tons of lists, decided whom to invite..and actually distributed the invitations..,.No backing out now! There were about 9-10 dogs along with their people....so...what to serve? how? what am I leaving out? To the rescue...my wonderful daughters, Marcia and Dian....Marcia offered to provide the cakes...one for the dogs and another for the people...Dian decided some snacks were in order so she made sandwiches shaped like dog bones, as well as some chips and dips.... It was awesome! I got dog themed stuff at the party store,
PetSmart and the dollar tree that just opened up a few blocks away....The day arrived and wouldn't you know it....it rained. What to do?? The building manager offered the lobby and we were on our way.....It actually turned out better than the park because we were able to let the dogs off leash...they all knew each other, so there were no growling confrontations. Also we had more room to set up...the girls really got into the project...they did all the set up (and take down)...the cakes were outstanding! The dog cake was made of grated carrots, flour, lots of eggs and strained baby food chicken.. the frosting was yogurt... the candles were Pup-er-
oni sticks.....the dogs all loved it...especially Fritz who ate his up and proceeded to help the rest of the pups eat theirs! All in all a resounding success. They're still talking about it!
Otherwise...it has been quiet around here. Sure do wish the cool weather would go away and the warm would return...this every other day stuff just won't do!!
I got up early this morning and hope to get a lot done...so I had best get off this computer and get to it!
