A Post I Must Write, and Must Read for Dog Lovers Alike

This post is a little late but definitely a must write (a must read for dog lovers alike).  December 25th marked Palin Rose Semeraro's first birthday.  What a whirlwind the past 10 months of our lives have been with her.  She is truly the love of our life, and brings so much joy and happiness that I never thought an animal could possibly bring.  We had a big party for her 1st Birthday.  It included many close friends and family. Some may think it was overboard for a dog.  But hey, it put a smile on all of our faces and Palin obviously had an awesome time.  This is an overview of her party in pictures and videos...

Starting with her birthday outfit. As you can tell Zazzle sizes MED for dogs 30-35lbs runs a little small.  She was a trooper and humored her mom, and the rest of the guests in her muscle tee for all of ten minutes.  Although John and I were somewhat upset when someone said she looked like a stuffed sausage in casing! Not funny!

 Festive decorations made for a very fun night, including doggy favor bags and a special "People Cake" and "Dog Cake" from See Spot Eat dog bakery in Nashville.

 We had many happy guests as you can below...Libby is loving the hat

 Proud parents

 Look at the pride for our daughter,  I am sorry but I see it in our eyes....Palin on the other hand looks like she is ready for some cake!

 One big happy dog family, including uncle Cosmo who's hat is covering his eyes, he was just happy to see Palin go after having to share toys and be chased around all week by her dominating personality

And last but not least for your viewing enjoyment you can see how truly serious we were about this party on video...thank goodness for the flip because we now have this moment captured forever! For all my dog lovers out there you totally understand how this event was one of life's best "Simple Pleasures"
