Look Who's 3!!!

Yes, I acknowledge that it's absolutely ridiculous to celebrate a dog's birthday. Here's why: 1) They have no idea what a birthday is 2) They don't care about what a birthday is 3) They won't remember anything about it within hours 4) They're terrible about sending thank you cards.

Having said all that of course I bought my dog a couple presents for her birthday. It's tradition -- just like blogging about her on her birthday is now tradition. And yes, I actually spent some time at PetsMart thinking about what she might like to have. I opted for a Nylabone, her favorite, and some treats, and a fancy dinner thing. Then I went to Trader Joes and bought Pig Ears too. (Sorry, Muffin.) And yes, Andy teased me when I got home, but I also know if I hadn't bought something, he would have.

Come on, it's not like I threw her a party. We're saving that for her 5th birthday! ;) Besides she doesn't know a lot of other dogs.

And now, Layla, through the years (all three of them).
