Guess who turns 1-year this month?

Leo's first day with us. I believe he was about 8 weeks old.

That's right! Leo is celebrating his first birthday on Oct. 31!! And the great things is - everyone else will be celebrating, too. They may think it is for Halloween - but its really just one big party for the coolest whippet in the world.

I must have had a dream about his birthday last night, because before I was conciously awake, I was planning his party this morning. Yes - that's right - as I was shampooing my hair, in full-on "Dog Owner Cheesiness," was planning a party for my dog. Laugh if you want to, I don't care. But how could I not when it is so close to such a fun holiday. I'm already selecting the guest list: Leo's bf Willie, his buddy Austin from the dog park, his brother Zero, his neighbor Garrett, his Forsyth Park friend Arrff...and so the list goes on. He is a popular little guy.
And I think we'll make it a costume party, too. Austin's owner Torrie told me about this skeleton t-shirt for dogs at Target. I think Leo and all his ribsyness will wear it well. Do you remember the dog from Nightmare Before Christmas?

One more random Leo thought... Did you know he likes edamame? I know you're thinking "Edam-what?" It's just soy beans in a pod. And my dog is SO gourmet, that he knows to shell the pods and only eat the beans. That's right - he's classy. AND I found out he likes dried cranberries - but that's just weird.
