Picking a Theme for Your Party

I don't know how thrilled Toby is about the party hat, but you have to admit he is absolutely adorable. If you don't know your pets birthday, pick a date.and then pick a theme for your party. How about some famous dogs like scooby doo, snoopy, clifford ,or a pink poodle party. Or you can pick a season, such as a garden party in the spring, Winter Wonderland for winter parties , pumpkins in the fall, or a swim party or backyard barbecue in the summer. Can't wait until your pups birthday....have a spaw day or a Bark Mitzvah.....you get the idea.

Pet Tips

MILEY

 Hi my name is Miley and I have the coolest family in the world. I crave their attention 24/7.  When we have company, I make sure I'm the center of attention.  Mom and Dad try to guess who I love the most...I keep them guessing, that's part of the game. I have everyone  wrapped around my thumb paw. 
How do I achieve  this status you say.  It's easy, I follow every command,  never talk back,  never hold grudges, and I don't bite the hand that feeds me.  When mom lets me out to tend to business, she doesn't have to hunt me down, I come right back when she calls me...that is a real plus.

My day is filled with hugs and  playing ball  with the animals they have outside.
It hasn't always been this easy.  Dad didn't want me in the house to begin with.  Now guess who is curled up beside him every night...you guessed it.  He even pats the bed for me to come lay down. 
Look into my eyes, what's not to love.

  Here are some helpful tips my mom found to keep me safe.

• Using metal water dishes outside in winter may be a risk, because my tongue could stick to the frozen metal. In the summer metal bowls can get very hot, and burn my little mouth.
• Add parsley to my food to help tone down my killer breath (everyone has their faults).  
• Be careful with the squeaky toys. I may feel I have to find and destroy the sound hidden in the toy and could ingest it and choke.
• Chocolate may be the food of the gods, but it is toxic to my little body.
• People who own pets live longer, have less stress, and have fewer heart attacks. (That's good news for you)

Have you kissed....uh...hugged your pet today?


* Just for fun....Send  an EMAIL with a picture of your favorite pet and his/her name and I will add it to this post.

Dog Treat Can

One of my friends has a dog that is like part of her family.
For Christmas one year I made Maddie a personalized treat can.
It is made from a quart paint can and will hold milk bones and
other treats that pets love. In this can I put doggie potato chips
that Maddie loved. A unique treat always adds that something special
to a gift. How about a doggie tee rolled up and placed in the can...
