Wearing his festive Frog Prince Crown, Puff somewhat patiently waits in the office corner for me to get going and start his birthday festivities. Unbeknownst to him I completely forgot to stop at the See Spot Eat Dog Bakery and get his cake...it snowed today with bitter wind chill so we won't be going to the dog park. I didn't get him a thing for his birthday, and besides, what do you get a ten year old dog who has everything?
One thing I do, (and if you don't, it really is a good idea) is to put back toys and bring them out after a few months. Your dog will react as if they are new toys and yet you haven't spent a dime. Today I pulled George Bush out of the closet for Puff to chew on along with a bully stick, it seemed appropriate since I blame Bush for much of our economic woes anyway. Puff was quite happy to wear his special crown made from a toilet paper roll
, while he attacked George Bush, chewed on his bully stick and ate a little shrimp from my creole....next week when it is 60 degrees again I will get some doggy cupcakes at the bakery and we will go to the park...after all, a dog is only ten once,meanwhile I feel like the Joan Crawford of Doggie Moms for forgetting....
