We had a PAWTY!!

[Freedom]

My 2d Annual 4th of July Pawty was originally scheduled for Saturday. But after 5 days of rain, my mostly clay back yard was a soggy spongy mess, and I had to postpone the event until Monday evening. Two folks and 5 doggies couldn't make the new time, but the rest attended and we had a grand time, if I do say so myself! The weather was perfect, warm (low 80's) with low humidity.

These photos are in no particular order.

Busy back yard - Mattie and Sassy arrived in new, matching harnesses and collars!

Tasha was SO excited to see all her friends! And I believe Pebbles thought this was all HER pawty, as she knew every one, he hee. Last year Chris came w/ Pebbles, so we missed Chris this year; but Pebbles got to attend, lol!

I had Frosty Paws for the dogs. Sugar ate quite a few.

Tasha did too - - I know, because she spent the next few hours throwing up as always. :vomit:

The Neverending Adventures of Willy

I should know by now, been living with him 11 months. All of us, people and doggies, were in and out of the house often, I kept most of the food inside. On my kitchen table. :rolleyes:

At one point, Willy was left alone inside. Once I realized, I went in, but I was too late. There he was, UP ON THE TABLE, sampling all my star shaped cupcakes. He seemed to prefer the frosting to the Red Velvet cake, so a few had nibbles, but lots had licks. :eek:

And when I hollered, "WILLY GET DOWN!" he had the nerve to look at me, growl! and take another lick! THEN he got down.

This boy is SUCH a challenge to work with! :D

[lvpets2002]

:love: Oh WoW looks like all enjoyed it && was much funn.. great pics thanks

[dab_20]

Looks like so much fun! I bet the dogs sure enjoyed it. Is Piper a Papillion (sp?)?

Willy, you are a naughty boy!! But what was mom thinking? Leaving delicious cupcakes where you could possibly reach! :p;)

[Freedom]

Is Piper a Papillion (sp?)?


She IS, and just 6 months old, lol. Little Spit Fire!

[Taz_Zoee]

Great pictures!! Is it just me, or do Pebbles and Maybe look a lot alike?

Sneaky little Willy! :p

[pomtzu]

Your meet-ups, gatherings, and pawties, look like a lot more fun than a lot of people functions I have attended! But then most dogs and cats I have had the pleasure of knowing, are much more fun to be around than a whole lot of people I have had to associate with.
Waaaa - boo-hoo-hoo. Wish we lived closer. I know that Sparky would love a pawty like that - after he got to know all the other 4-legged guests.
Willy Boy - don't push your luck - even tho I think that you're quite a hoot just the way you are. :D

[Grace]

Great pictures!! I felt like I was right in the middle.

How many dogs were in attendance?

[cassiesmom]

Willy, you tasted the cupcakes! Wait till Logan hears about this :)

I am glad everyone had such a good time! Looks like it was a perfect day! :D

[Freedom]

Great pictures!! Is it just me, or do Pebbles and Maybe look a lot alike?

Sneaky little Willy! :p


Good eye! Maybe is miniature schnauzer x bichon. Pebbles is a schnoodle, miniature schnauzer x miniature poodle. And since the poodle and bichon are cousins, that makes them look quite similar!

Oh and they are BOTH 3 years old! He heee

[lizbud]

Looks like the pawty was a great success.:) I enjoyed seeing all the
pictures of the people & pups. I loved your decorations too. Very festive.:)
While looking through the pics, I was struck with all the benefits of having
smaller dogs. ( You can have more than one on your lap at one time) :D

[K9karen]

Grrrrrrr! Why wasn't I invited???!!! :p

Really, your pawtys are awesome! I LOVE Piper's ears. Bless those Pappys! And the name "Maybe" is hysterical! I love it! Your dad looked like he had a nice time too.

OK, now to The Wills. I have no more to say than :D:D:D:D:D:D

[Freedom]

When you ask Sarah why she named her dog "Maybe," she replies: Maybe she'll mind, maybe she won't. :D

Thanks for stopping in Liz and Karen.

Mz. Logan, sorry we couldn't invite you, some in the group are very protective of their wee ones, and we have a 20 pound limit for this gathering.

Grace, we had 12 doggies! I alone had 6, as I am dogsitting Pebbles this week, lol.

Yes Liz, you can fit multiples on your lap, plus one can drape around your neck!

[BarbIvey]

What a wonderful pawty !!! Looks like so much FUN was had by all !

[MonicanHonda]

I wish I had that many dog friends that lived by me to throw a party. Oh yeah, and a backyard for one. LOL Looks like a BLAST!!! I love paps ^.^ What a cutie!!!

[Freedom]

Thanks Barb and Monica.

Monica, you KNOW if you lived closer, I'd have a time for Doc and Delta - and Mz. Logan too, lol! - to come over!

It has taken time to build up this group - well over 2 years. Tasha was my impetus for doing things like this, as she needs so much socializing!

[Randi]

That looks like quite a pawty - I can see you had fun, and I think at least the dogs are looking forward to the next! :D

[Asiel]

Looks like it was a great party and everyone seems to be having a grand time. Great idea for a get together with doggie people.
I guess the cupcakes were a big hit with some :D

[K9karen]

OK forgiven. I was tongue in cheek. Mz L LOVES little dogs. She's on the large dog side of the dog park, but runs along the fence where the widdle teeny ones are and has a ball. I think she'd have been a great mom. If someone has a pug in the big section on unbusy days, the poor baby doesn't stand a chance with L following it around. No harm done either.

Maybe some day, Sandie. Fluffies on my lap and around my neck! Oh! Heaven on EARTH!

My friends 4 kitties surrounded me when I slept on her daughter's bed. At first I freaked but it was so sweet and cozy. I loved it. Except for cat hair in my contacts. But what the heck?

[krazyaboutkatz]

It looks like everyone had a great time.:) Willy wouldn't be Willy if he didn't get into some kind of trouble.LOL;)

[Freedom]

It looks like everyone had a great time.:) Willy wouldn't be Willy if he didn't get into some kind of trouble.LOL;)

That's right, and still, we LOVE him here. :D

[ramanth]

Looks like a great afternoon! :)
