Looks like a good time was had by all--except for the poor person trying to get all three hats on at the same time.:) Happy Birthday, Teddy!!! | |

Of course he's not spoiled - he's well loved! Teddy had is hat on even though by the time I took the pic it was sideways - Benny's mom was holding his leash and threatening death if he moved - Bubba's mom (in pic) was having a little trouble... | |

Teddy is so lucky to be so loved then. They are great pics. Bet he's exhausted now along w/ all the moms from trying to keep hats on. Gotta ask. Did they get to sit at the table to eat? If so, can we have pics? Great job Kathy. Give Teddy a big birthday paw shake from Hondo and hugs from me. | |

Oh My Goodness.... what a riot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the partypets with their hats on ready for a good time... AND the cake...it looks so scrumptious! Everyone, because Kathy didn't share the details.... thatis a Bone Birthday Cake for Teddy that Kathy made with hamburger and enzymes topped with mashed sweet potato for the frosting.... what more could an EPI Birthday guy ask for???????? Happy Birthday Teddy! | |

Oh, and I asked re the chairs, my brother in law had a dog that sat at the table all the time. Even though he didn't eat from there, while they ate he had to sit there and watch. This was a golden retriever. I would have loved it if they had pics of that. | |

OK, I give - maybe a little spoiled. No one ate from chairs. Bubba and Benny would have but I think Teddy would have had trouble getting up on the chair. I did think of letting the two little ones eat from the table sitting on the chairs but I didn't want Teddy eating from the table although he can reach it quite well from the ground. I knew I would live to regret it f I let him so it was only a fleeting thought. It was a hoot trying to get them all together with their hats on, just wasn't going to happen. Teddy kept his on the whole time - I don't think he knew he had it on, he's oblivious - until Bubba took it off him. Lynn, as usual, the card the girls made is beautiful, they are so artistic. It was a great day, I'm guessing it was the first birthday party Teddy has ever had. | |
