Keeley's 2nd Birthday Party!

Today was Keeley's birthday party. He will be 2 years old on Monday, St. Patrick's Day. I was so thrilled to find decorations that featured an Irish Terrier!Gracie, a 4 month old cockapoo, was the first doggie guest to arrive.Keeley's cousin dog, Tully, was the next dog to arrive. When they're together, they just can't seem to hold still.Keeley's best bud, Romare, made the trip from Madison to help celebrate.Lojack was the last doggie guest to arrive and certainly the most well-dressed of all the dogs.The big dogs spent a lot of time romping outside......while the little dogs explored indoors.There were human guests too, including this cutie-pie, Tristan, who will have his 2nd Birthday next week. He was born one week after Keeley.Other human guest included: Keeley's grandpa, Marky-Mark, Amy, Damien, Helen, Christopher, Gary, Kaity, Mr. Goodkind, Sandy, PK, Jane, Kate, and of course, Keeley's grandma and me, his girl.Keeley would have been happy with just ONE visitor, so he was thrilled that so many of his favorite people came to celebrate his birthday.Keeley is a very social pup. If it were up to him, he'd have a party every weekend!Gracie found a lot of toys to play with. She had quite a pile going.There were even a few surprise gifts for Keeley to open. He got a green squeaky bone and a paw print magnet from Jane, Kate, and Molly. He received a z-bone and a barbecue flavored biscuit bone from Mr. Goodkind and Sandy. He got a cute elephant stuffie from Christopher, Gary, and Romare. He also received a gift card to Petco from Lojack and PK. Keeley sure is a lucky pup!Romare helped inspect all Keeley's presents for quality.Keeley's grandpa baked special doggie treats for Keeley's canine guests to take home. When all the party guests had left, Keeley found a nice sunny spot to sit and eat his z-bone. Minutes later, he was sound asleep. I guess that means he had a good time!

NOTE: Kirby was supposed to come, but his mother was so sick that they had to cancel. We hope your mom feels better soon, Kirby! Maybe we can make plans for you and Keeley to meet up some other weekend.

Keeley...You were born on St. Patrick's Day? And you and Irish Terrier...Oh man...how perfect is that?

Wonder how your dogmom worked that one out...that's amazing!!!

I bet Kirby was mad he couldn't make it to the pawty, but he'll have to eat more chicken soup and get over it. At least his mom had the chicken soup in the fridge if she was sick...!!!!!

Happy Barkday to ya...you and Scruffy are almost the exact same age!!! (He was 2 on the 5th!!)

Hi Keeley,

Man, I am so bummed I missed your pawty. Mom has been hacking all day long and sleeping tons, so very unlike her. She has promised me that you and I will get together as soon as the weather gets nice. I'm gonna hold her to that promise. I think you and I would get along famously. Looks like the party was totally pawsome! So glad the day was so great. Happy Birthday in advance!!

Your pal,
Kirby

Hiya Keeley,
Sounds like you had a great birthday pawty. The piccies look great. We wish we could have been there to help you celebrate turning 2.
What a shame Kirby couldn't be there. We hope his mum is better soon.
