What a great way to spend an afternoon. One of my puppy buyers threw a 1yr birthday party for their pup. I took her littermate and my GSD obedience class came as well. Their 9 year old daughter did the planning, made the invitations and made up the doggy games. The dogs were incredibly well behaved. Well, their obedience instructor was there so the better be, lol! There is a dog bakery that made an awsome dog cake and we had a combination of treats from recipes I got from folks on the List. (Thank you to those who sent them to me) We played a couple doggy games, opened presents and had some lunch and cake. Just like a regular birthday party :-) It is so thrilling to see one of your pups so loved and get to be part of her life. That's what this dog stuff is all about :-) Laura Thomas http://www.treasureranchgsds.com/ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
