No Assignment?

Okay, so nothing much is up with the pups and there's no assignment, so I really don't have much to blog about. Still, I feel duty-bound to post something this week, just to keep up the flow.

Barney's first birthday is coming up in March - when Chelsea had her first birthday we had a party with all her dog friends at Cherokee Marsh dog park. It was a hoot, to say the least. Originally I had ordered chocolate cake (for the people), but then I realized that was a really bad idea since many of Chelsea's canine friends were at picnic-table height and could maybe snag an unattended piece of cake. Sure enough, Chelsea grabbed a piece (I switched to yellow cake) off a plate that our neighbor's daughter was trying to hand out to the human attendees. I also had made some doggie snacks - little liver biscuits with peanut butter smeared on them. And Bev and I supplied doggie party favor bags with biscuits, ball and squeaker toy. Of course the decoration theme was none other than Scooby-Doo. I still have a picture of Chelsea wearing her Scooby-Doo birthday hat.
