My little puppy, Lacey, turned 1 year old on July 19th, 2011. To celebrate this grand occasion, I threw a puppy party which involved my friends bringing their dogs by to socialize and play with Lacey. I also made doughnuts for people, pizza treats for pups, and treat bags for puppy mamas to take with them. Here are some pictures from the fun day!

Lacey had 4 pup friends join her for her party! (Sydnee Joe, English Springer Spaniel; Lilly, Malti-Tzu; Astra, Peekapoo and Lucy, Pomeranian)

Here are a few pics of the crazy birthday girl who was soo excited and happy at her party!
Hmm...which new toy should I play with?
Definitely the Bully Stick! Thanks Aunt Mariah!
Lacey LOVED this new bully stick she got and became obsessed with it, as Mariah warned me Lilly does as well!
OBSESSED
Lucy was the lucky one that could be trusted off the leash for the entire party!

Overall it was great to catch up with good friends and let our dogs play together on the patio!
Here is the recipe I used for Lacey’s pizza puppy treats!
Pup Pizza, Adapted from The Organic Dog Biscuit Cookbook
For Dough:
1 c. oat flour
1 c. brown rice flour
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 egg
1/4 c. part skim milk ricotta cheese
1/2 c. water
For Topping:
1 6oz. can tomato paste
1 c. shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
Preheat oven to 375degrees. Combine all the dough ingredients together and mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4in. thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of an upside down glass to cut 2″ round circles out of the dough. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet (they can be rather close together as they don’t grow much while cooking).
Spread the tomato paste evenly on top of all the circles.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, basil and oregano on top of each.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. But have your puppy sit for a treat first!
This too cute for words!!! LOVE this idea
my doggy would love this too, he thinks every dog wants to be his best buddy and would love to party with him
Thanks Casey! Yes, I think everyone should celebrate their dog’s birthday!! It was a free day for her to eat treats all day and meet up with her puppy friends!! Aww he sounds too cute!
Yay for doggie birthday parties!! Even with our oldest just turning 9 we still have parties for each pet =)
That’s awesome!! It amazes me that some people don’t even know when their pet’s birthday is!!
