A Birthday Party For Dakoda
This week Dakoda turned two years old. Since her birthday falls in the dead heat of summer, we threw her a pool party with some of her very best friends. She loves to splash around in puddle size bodies of water, but nothing larger. So we got her a dog sized pool, filled it with 4 inches of water and she was in birthday heaven.
We played some awesome dog games, like bobbing for dog treats which Diesel won hands (paws) down in record time. Most dogs won't stick their head under the water but Diesel had no problem diving in nose first to rescue drowning treats. Dakoda and her guests devoured tons of treats and romped around the backyard for hours.
As the sun sank low, we finished the party with dog friendly peanut butter-applesauce cupcakes (recipe to follow) and then Pork Chop the English Bully promptly fell asleep under the table letting us know it was time to call it a night.
Thank you to everyone who helped make Dakoda's birthday super special. She is smiling in her sleep as we speak! Here are some more photos from her dog party, if you'd like to take a peek at her awesome friends.
