A Dog Birthday Party

[sherryinutah]

On Friday night I went to a dog birthday party.  She was 1 year old.  That was a first, for me. 

My neighbor lady treats her little Shih tzu like she's her baby so I guess it's fairly easy to understand.  We even sang "Happy Birthday" to the dog after her owner lit the candle on her birthday cake.

I guess it was better than spending Friday night in front of my computer.

Have you ever been to a dog birthday party?

what a cute dog!
No I have never been to a dog birthday party. I know dogs are considered part of the family so,i guess I shouldn't be surprised.I would have thought the request for the party may have come from the child not the owner.
did you have a good time?

[sherryinutah]

Sure.  I had fun.  I took a camera and took photos of everything.

No, I have never been to a dog birthday party before, but just about any excuse for a party is OK with me, especially if there is fun stuff to eat available!

I have birthday parties for my Bunches and have had for all my dogs in years past!!  Lots of fun!

We have had birthday parties for dogs "in the family" but never invited anyone but immediate family - like the ones in the household. haha.  And def did not sing Happy Birthday.  I do think some people go way over board with treating an animal like it is human. But hey you got free cake.

I have never had parties on behalf of any of my pets before.  Although I have heard of this.  In fact I've had customers place custom orders for cakes for there pet parties.  I don't know if the cakes I'm doing for them are for the dogs or the humans...I just do what I'm asked.  The weirdest one was a picture of a Momma nursing her litter. My boss came in and saw what I was working and says, "So they are eating there puppies?"  Again I say, "I just do what I'm asked."

lol I done this once.  It was a regular cake I got at the grocery store. I had them write Happy Birthday and the dog's name.

I sure do give parties for my pets.  Although all my pets are rescues, I'm not sure of their real Birthday, so what we do is take their 'adopt' day as their birthday and the vet can give an educated age on the pet, so that's how we can kind of guess the age.  Not the real birthday bug that's ok with us.

I thought that was very thoughtful of that pet owner to host a party for her dog. I know that some people do not view pets on the same level as they do people. But for some individuals, pets may be all that they have for companionship.

We used to have a birthday party for our beloved Bichon, Tommy, before he passed away.  He was so much a part of the family that it seemed only natural that we celebrate his birthday!!
