Dixie turned 4 on Saturday, January 8. This also marks the 2 year anniversary of her coming to live with us. Dixie was only supposed to stay a day or two with us but she was too cute to turn away and 2 years later we are still happy to have her with us. She makes us laugh and has recently started to play which is very fun to watch. (Have you ever heard of a dog who didn't know how to play?)
The plan was to get her a new dog bed for the living room but we haven't found the one we like yet. So instead she got a special dinner of
roasted turkey medley with peas, carrots, rice and barley. We also sang her happy birthday and she got a special
jumbone for dessert.
Dixie is pretty spoiled. She gets her own pancake when we make pancakes and frequently gets our leftovers. She has her own couch, sleeps in our beds, and gets more affection than I ever thought a dog would require. But we wouldn't trade her for any other dog!

I love it! Just once I planned a birthday party when I had Jaeger when he turned one, complete with dog friends and dog treats. It was a mess. Now birthdays for the dogs are low key, special treats, maybe a toy. They deserve it!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with Sarah...love it!! We have not decorated Brewsky, as I am sure he would go absolutely nuts, but we always give him gifts and special treats. Happy Birthday, Dixie!!
