Bill,

When Don lived in a neighborhood where there were lots of little kids who we were friendly with their parents, we used to get invited to a lot of birthday parties. So we started a tradition of throwing birthday parties for our dog complete with cake with candles, ice cream, gifts and a special doggie cake. It was really funny to watch innocent kids sing happy birthday, 'help' the dog blow out the candles, and give the dog gifts that he happily ripped open.

Pets give so much enjoyment to their human 'owners' that it seems only logical that they, too, should have a special day of their own.

Happy Birthday, Bud!!!

When I was a kid I also threw birthday parties for my dog. I remember one dog who was born in Jan. Because it is warmer during the summer he always got a half year birthday as well. Also I had a cousin who spent summers with us and that way John (my cousin who was a year older than me) got to come as well. One year an aunt (John's mother) even sent the dog a birthday card. It was addressed to him with my last name and c/o me. I was a thrilled child.

I always wanted to give Brownie (the dog) milk, which was a treat for him. My mother thought this was ridiculous, so she charged me for the milk. In those day a quart of milk cost 20 cents, which I gladly paid from my allowance. Those were the days.

Hope Bud had a good one!!
