As you all know, Doo Jr is our child, my super sweet puppy! Doo Jr turned 2 on Saturday, May 25th, so of course we had to have a birthday party!
Since it was Memorial Day weekend, we had celebrated on Friday night so his best friends, Katie, Max and of course, Uncle Wilson could be there. Katie and Max are two super sweet dogs that live with Sally, Ted, Madison and Mackenzie, next door to Matt's parents. Wilson is Matt's parents dog. The party started at 6:30 and the menu featured: hot dogs (of course!), deviled eggs (it isn't a party without them), baked beans, chips, fruit salad and a great greek dip that Patti made. Doo Jr and friends had a puppy cake (see pictures and recipe below) and us parents had Oreo Ice Cream cake! It was a wonderful evening celebrating our baby's birthday!
Doo Jr got lots of great gifts as well. Matt's parents got him a rain jacket, a HUGE raw hide bone and a retractable leash. Sally and Co got him lots of yummy treats! Matt and I got him a life jacket for the boat. Yes, labs are great swimmers, but getting a soaking wet 73 pound lab back in the boat is a different story. This life jacket has a handle on his back so Matt can lift him in. We also love the rain jacket. Doo gets so wet in the rain so this will at least keep all but his legs from getting soaked!

Sally and me. I just love her!
The pups loved the birthday cake!
I wasn't sure how to make a puppy cake but I found this great recipe and the pups loved it! The best part was that you most likely have all these ingredients in your house.
