Nancy Freedman-Smith, dog trainer and owner of Gooddogz Training, provides a place for dog owners to find positive training tips, canine-activities and places to visit along with the latest information on keeping your dog healthy and active. Nancy lives with her three young kids, Charlee and Finney the dogs, Yellow the parakeet and Tater-Tot the Hamster. Staying current, keeping fresh, and always learning new things is a must for Nancy and her profession because one thing that animals surely teach you is "the more you know, the more you know you don't know."
Doggie Birthday parties
Today I have found myself planning, not one, but two doggie birthday parties. Finn's litter turns one in February, and we are renting my good friend Gail's doggie day care facility, At Your Barkin' Call for the event. A bunch of Collies and a few close freinds both human and canine. Goofy? Yes! But why not? Will we have a doggie cake? Of course!
"Rose", my most favorite therapy pup in training, turns one later this month and the hospital clinic is planning a little something special for the kids and staff.
Rose is doing wonderfully in training and that is reason enough to celebrate. That dog brings more smiles to people than any other dog I know.
Do you celebrate your dog's birthday?
About the pictures
Pictures are Riley (Sable) and Emmet (Tri and Finn's litter mate). The pictures were taken by their owner this summer at Riley's birthday and they are posed in front of the cake she baked them. Allison will be making us another cake for the Collie birthday party. I will be sure to post the recipe.
News flash!
Our collie party now has a sponsor! Aaron, from the DogHouse Kitchen has generously donated a BEEFDAY CAKE. Thanks Aaron!

We celebrate our dog's birthday! She is a rescue pup, so we picked a birthday for her. She gets a pupcake and gifts that she unwraps and then she plays with her toys. We take pictures and they go in her scrapbook. Yeah, we love our dog. (You should have seen Christmas!) I know that most of the fuss is for our benefit, but she has fun too.

I like to get my guinea pig a little something for his birthday. We can't have a dog at the apartment we live in right now so Zoey is our dog. I've had him for almost 5 years which is about how old he is and he's a good "dog".
