Baxter's First Birthday

I never thought I'd turn out to be the kind of person that would have a birthday party for a dog. I guess that is something that owning a corgi or a Baxter might do to you.

Yesterday was Baxter's 1st birthday. I made him a dog-friendly carrot cake. My boyfriend wrapped up his presents. Baxter seemed to know something was going on. I'm not usually in the kitchen cooking, so there must be something unusual happening. When the cake was done, I put a party hat on him which he actually didn't seem to mind.

With a sparkler in the cake and a round of "Happy Birthday" Baxter turned 1. He ate some cake, opened his presents and played, played, played. After all that, it was over and time for his nightly walk. He ran out of the house (leashed of course) and I ran with him. He jumped and played in the field and even got to play with some children who were by the pool. I thought this must be the best birthday a dog could ask for.

We had walked away from the pool and around the side of a tree when he threw up all his birthday cake. He just looked up at me bleaky and we walked home. He had partied too hearty.

Comment by Tris & Jeanne on July 23, 2010 at 11:14am: Sounds like a fine time was had by all (except for the return of the birthday cake)! The sparkler in the cake is a nice touch! We get to party down in less than a month.... when my boy (Fox) will turn 1.
