Look Who Turned 9!

Miss Liza Bear one of our personal dogs turned 9 years old this week Feb 26 is her official birthday and once upon a time she was our grand-dog and belonged to our daughter who got her as a puppy 9 years ago. In these modern times it is not unheard of for grandparents to lend a hand raising their grandchildren and in our case we are the guardians of our grand-dog Liza as her mom got too busy in her young life to give Liza the attention she needed. We have been her guardians now for two years and she is a welcome addition to our pack. She might be 9 but in true Min-Pin form she is young at heart, has lots of energy, and is still the wiggly, pirouetting, follow her nosing, scout when walking, girlie she was born to be.

I baked an Honest Kitchen birthday cake with plain yogurt frosting and little pieces of organic hot dog cut up on top.Sound good????



I had left the last of my real candles at my daughter's home over the summer so we have to use a rechargeable tea light. Well at least it was safe!

We don't normally encourage our dogs to have such manners but heck it was Liza's birthday after all!

Skip, Sage and Jenny join in singing Liza the Happy Birthday song

Where is Birdie you ask? She was sleeping under her blanket, she could not be bothered with a birthday unless it was hers. :)
Mmmmm mom hurry up and get it in the bowls!

Liza trying so hard to sit and wait for her birthday meal to be put down.


This is soooo good mom!

Sage

Birdie decided she is up for eating the birthday cake even though she didn't take part in the festivities.

Skip and Jenny Boo at their station. When you have 5 dogs you have to get creative about keeping them out of each other's food bowl. Skip is so good he would never eat out of Jenny's bowl. Birdie and Liza are fed on other ends of the room.
Happy Birthday Liza Bear....we love and adore you...may you have many more years to come.
