Puppy Party!

Well, today our sweet baby dog, Rosie turned one (I guess 7 if you want to say dog years but she really is more human than dog if you ask me). So naturally we had a small birthday party so she could celebrate. My inner sorority girl loves a good theme party so she might be a little spoiled. 

We decorated with tennis balls (Rosie's fave apart from frisbees) in tin cans. The dogs loved it!

Here is the birthday girl herself resting up before her guests arrive.

I really wanted Rosie to wear a party hat. It was a struggle.

She kept it on just long enough to get one cute pic!

I made a dog friendly cake and iced it with peanut butter. The recipe can be found here. It was surprisingly a big hit.

Doggie bags for guests to fill with treats to take home with them

We had paw-tato chips

All sorts of hot dog fixin's

Puppy chow (the amazingly delicious chex mix candy, not actual) and pupcakes

Out in the garage we set up the dogs' food table with Rosie's cake, bones, and treats

And some party hats just in case the dogs were feeling fancy

Rosie kept trying to sneak the bones off the table before the party

And she was successful a couple times...

But when friends came, Rosie was all about playing! Here she is pestering BFF Ryder

Time to blow out your candle!

Happy Birthday to Rosie!

Eating their cake. They loved it!

Rosie got the cutest birthday cookie!

All in all it was a really good day. Rosie had so much fun playing with her dog friends and we were lucky that the weather wound up cooperating. I still can't believe my sweet girl is one already. She has brought so much fun (and a little destruction) into our lives. Happy Birthday, Rosie!
