Gooch turns 2

Any couple with pets as kids can understand why it would be so important to celebrate their birthday. This year Kurt allowed me to throw a doggie birthday party for Gooch's second birthday. I was really excited to treat him to something "special." Since we don't know the exact day Gooch was born we've been celebrating his day on Halloween.

I sent out invitations to the neighbor dogs, neighbor kids that play with Gooch, and Gooch's "cousins" (other dogs in the family).

I didn't get the best pictures of the event since my camera girl showed up late, so this is the best I could do being so frazzled.

We started the party off with a Costume Contest. Gooch, dressed as a skunk, and friend Keyri

friend Skip the pirate
cousin Rascal as Batman

cousin Braxton with Aunt Becky

friend Alexa and Max (was dressed as Santa)
friend Morgan


cousin Tex the cowboy
After cousin Rocky the superman (see below) won the costume contest we started a dog treat hunt. I had all the kiddos hide a couple treats each and then the dogs got to find them all.

We sang happy birthday to Gooch and then served cake to all the dogs. I have never seen them down something so fast. It was made with Peanut Butter, Carrots, Honey, Flour and a couple other things. Yummy.

All in all I think Gooch had a very fun time and loves all the fun squeaky toys he received.

Being off the leash was Gooch's favorite part of the party.
