I Threw My Rescue Dog a First Birthday, And No That’s Not Weird

Amazon

You might consider this to be something only a crazy dog mom would do, but color me crazy because throwing my dog a first birthday party was some of the most fun I’ve had in months. And, to be honest, I did it all for under $50.

Eight months ago, I adopted my sweet fur baby Jack. When I rescued him in May, he had a limp and after several x-rays, they discovered his leg couldn’t be saved and now he’s my sweet little tripod!

Now, he’s my perfect little companion and I’m so happy he came into my life when he did. And that’s why I through him a first birthday party.
