Pixel's Party

It is Pixel's 1 year birthday today and Neena was invited to her party.

Isn't she a pretty girl! Love those baby blues!

Neena had a great time playing,

the collie boys thought she (and pretty much all the other gals) was something special lol!

We even had cake, peanut butter & carrot for the dogs, chocolate for the people...let me tell you everyone (I mean everyone!) wanted seconds.

I've decided you pretty much have to expect 1 of 3 reactions when you tell people you are taking your dog to a Doggie Birthday Party (or Halloween Party or Christmas Party or...well you get the picture).

1. Aww...that's so cute (as in that's a great idea can I come!)


2. Are you serious? (as in that's really cheesy and you either need to get a life or you have too much time on your hands)


3. Pity (as in its so sad you have to have parties for your dogs since you don't have kids)

I face all 3 of these reactions on a pretty regular basis. I spend a lot of time with my dog, not as much as a lot of people I've met since we adopted Neena, but certainly more than most of my family & friends do. I don't regret any of it...not the time, not the money, not the inappropriate reactions from people who see her as just a dog...one day I'll blog about how Neena saved me from self destructing. In the mean time I'm going to continue laughing at the antics of dogs when they play at these 'silly parties' and enjoy every moment I have to spend with her.
