I was awakened before dawn by all 4 older children singing "Happy Birthday" to the dog. The dog was very excited - she didn't have a clue as to what was going on, but she was very happy to be the center of attention!
We took her to Homeschool Soccer and she had a blast! She LOVED seeing everyone and getting petted by all the different kids and parents.
When she got too hot, she sat in the shade and watched everything. But every time someone would walk by, she would jump up and whine for them to pet her! "So many children to love, so little time!" She was really well behaved!
Then we came home and made a cake for her! The Monkeys got me a KitchenAid mixer for Mother's day and gave it to me yesterday so I could have it to make the dog's birthday cake. LOL! I am SO excited about this mixer - it has been on my wish list for YEARS now! I am so happy they got it for me and I know we are going to have so much fun cooking together using this thing!
Here is the finished cake - we even gave FosterDog1 a tiny piece of it and she loved it. :) We decorated it with the Pansies and Johnny Jump Ups from our front yard [the kids picked them] because those are edible flowers. [Something that has been fascinating Monkey1 lately].The cake was really very good. The kids also made cards for the dog and gave her a "present" of cheese - her favorite treat!
So, the dog had a great day. :) She's such a sweetie - she deserved it!
The rest of us had a great day too - it is so fun to have a reason to celebrate! And we are so happy with our new doggie!

So, no name yet? She's so sweet! It makes me want a collie! Maybe soon. Got someone coming to fix the fence gates on Monday,,,then just need to get my husband to finish the fence!!! :)
Mel, you really can't go wrong with a collie I've decided. I have been SO impressed with this breed that I don't plan to be without a collie for the rest of my life. :)
