dogdaze

Before I had children, I treated my dogs like my babies. I would buy cute clothes for them, spend lots of money on fancy treats and even throw birthday parties for them.

Bo and Sweetheart, my first toy fox terriers were two of the smartest, sweetest dogs I have ever had. I loved to spoil them rotten! The thing I loved most about them was that they didn’t seem to mind when I dressed them up, which was often.

In the winter, my dogs wore the latest in doggie fashion including sweaters, bomber jackets and even shoes so their paws wouldn’t get cold when they went out.

One year, I was between paychecks and was just down in the dumps. My good friend Becky, who now lives in Arkansas, surprised my two babies and me one night with a big birthday cake for Sweetheart. I was so stunned that she would do this for my dogs. I guess that’s why our friendship has remained strong through the years.

I still talk to Becky often and we talk about the “good ole days” when happiness was a birthday cake, a carton of milk and some very appreciative kisses from Sweetheart and Bo.
