"It's My Party And I'll Bark If I Want To," by Sparkle

Warm woofs and happy birthday to ME!!! Today is my actual birthday, but we celebrated yesterday 'cause it was the weekend and we could get CRAZY!!! First of all, here is my official portrait:

Mama had me dressed in a black T-with RHINESTONES - and I was wearing a collar and big bow that said,"Happy Birthday!" Here's a close-up of the back:

Now, what's a party without GUESTS??? Of COURSE Grammy was there...

...and Gramps provided a warm lap...

...and even Great-Uncle Jeff came by to wish me well!

And I made out like a BANDIT! Look what Mama put on the table for me:

First I opened my groomer Marcia's gift - a doggie cake!!!

You Fashionistas out there are gonna be SO jealous - look what my mama got me: TWO outfits for Spring!!!

Grammy and Gramps gave me this yellow dress...

...and this bee-you-tee-ful raincoat - it's PINK!

Of COURSE I got a bag of Greenies - teeny-weenie ones!!!

And some new BONES!!!

I also got some CASH but mama says it's not polite to discuss the amount...but I'm saving up for a diamond tennis bracelet!
Then mama brought my cake - CARROT CAKE! - with some candles, and everybody sang to me!

I was so excited I could barely contain myself! Here I am, licking my lips:

It was just as swell a time as I could imagine...Grammy also brought me TWO steaks, and I got some great cards (thank you, AUntie Clucker and Uncle Football)...I am a VERY lucky little girl...then mama told me the story of how I was in my FIRST mommy's tummy, then I was born, and just as few weeks later, Mama and I found each other - it's been heaven! I have SUCH a wonderful family...

And I woke up today on my REAL birthday, and Mama gave me steak and pizza! So thank you everyone for your good wishes!!!

xoxoxox love, Sparkle
