TGIF!! Friday has arrived and as Mom says she needs a break from all to relax and recharge her batteries.
I went last week to the vet for a checkup, day before my birthday party so the party was extra special as we celebrated my health, although the vet found a mass on my side which we going to monitor and I have started kidney disease at my old age so am dehydrated all the time, so drinking lots and making Mom take me out more times to potty including in the middle of the night. Mom says she would rather do that than clean the carpet all the time. BOL. The vet put me on some stuff to drink for the dehydration and it upset my tummy so oy vey Mom had a big mess to clean up, but all is good now.
NOW my birthday party which I have promised everyone I would talk about; it was the BEST ever. We left the house to go to a friend’s house where we were having the party as it was too cold and rainy to do in the park, plus our apartment is much too small for parties. On the way there we stopped at Rescue Row (see photo below) which is a street named for all the Rescue Organizations in the city. There is an amazing Rescue Organization that we stopped at to say hi which is called Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, it is a great very well-organized Rescue Organization and Sherri plus the volunteers are so great. Mom explained to me that whatever is left of my party we would be dropping off at Muttville for the volunteers and dogs so everyone can have a party. Mom told me that when she was a child her mother used to make their birthday cakes in the shapes of houses, cars, planes, dolls and so much more and at their party they could eat everything but the cake as She would then take us and the cake to the Childrens Ward at one of the hospitals for the children to enjoy. I think that is a wonderful idea as that way everyone celebrates with a yum cake.
Walking to my party
At my birthday party was my favorite people and of course my dog friends, Dash, Storm, and Musik. We all wandered around looking for food and treats of course as that is what a birthday is all about. Carly from Paw Patch Pastries made me this delicious pink bacon flavored cake, it was so so good I am still licking my lips thinking of it although it is finished, grr. We each got a bag of treats to take home with us which were so delicious.
Me and my cake yum
Dash Storm and Me and of course I am sniffing the cake
Layla and Musik
My one Uncle also surprised Mom with the human cupcakes that Mom says were delicious and had happy birthday to me on them, they looked so cute.
The human cupcakes
The human table of goodies with our treat bags, my cake and of course BOL coffee cos Mom needed some
You can see on her website all the yummy cakes and treats, and did you know she ships treats all over the country? And most importantly she bakes for cats also, so they are not left out.
They are so so good yum, I pawsitively approve them, Layla

I was very spoiled and got a new bed from Uncle Ron and a new snuffle caterpillar from Uncle Troy, but as Mom says the funniest part of the birthday party was when I tried digging out the treats from Uncle Troy’s pocket of his jacket which was hanging at the back of the chair and instead BOL started pulling out the roll of poop bags and unraveled most of them, everyone laughed at me but it shows them I am 18 and still can get into mischief.
Pulling poop bags is fun
My new bed and snuffle caterpillar
I needed a nap in the middle of the party it was too much for me, Layla
I wish all of you could have been here to share in the fun, you were all missed but who knows maybe during the year we will have a get together.
I am now off to have my afternoon nap as dictating to Mom is exhausting.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone, be safe and warm
Lots of love from Layla
I am so glad you had an extra special Birthday because all of us here think you are extra special. I know your Mom and your wonderful Vet will be watching you closely sweet one. Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Terry, the birthday party was fantastic and a special memory for all, we are watching her closely and taking each day as it comes. Thank you so much for your Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop as it keeps us informed what is happening in your life also.
What an absolutely lovely day you had. I love that you shared your cakes with absolutely EVERYONE! What a gracious dog you are Layla! AND I loved your PINK cake wooHOOO!!!!
Marjorie thanks so much and we love sharing, it is so important. The pink cake was beautiful and just fitting for a princess LOL.
I’m so glad Layla’s check-up was as good as it was and praying the lump proves to be nothing and the medication works well for dehydration. It was a great way to start celebrating!
It looks like everyone had fun at the party. So fun! The cakes (both for Layla and the hu-mom) look super yummy! How wonderful Layla got to spend the day with her friends, both furry and not. The new bed looks comfy and the cute snuggle caterpillar were great gifts! I’m sure Layla is already enjoying them.
Here’s to a healthy year and many more fun memories!
Terri it was so much fun for all of us, getting together, dogs running around eating like little pigs, us humans eating like pigs LOL it was just what the doctor ordered and she got spoiled, she loves her new toy and bed, the toy is really keeping her busy. I wish you and Henry could have been here, maybe next year.
Wow, what an incredible birthday bash!! Layla looks so adorable. I see she had a ton of fun with her little friends. I love the idea that your mom took beautiful homemade goodies to a children’s ward, what a beautiful thing to teach children. Happy 18th Birthday, Layla!
We had so much fun at her birthday party and ate too much LOL. I was very blessed to have parents who taught us how important it is to share and when I look back at it it was wonderful seeing the faces of the children in the hospital when they saw the cake. Thank you for your wishes.
Oh, Miss Layla (or shall I say “Little Miss Everthing?” (I love that sweater on and for you!)…what a wonderful birthday you had, and deserved! So fun to share it with your pup pals! Love your cake (and the human cupcakes)…and what a lovely bed. I always love the adventures you and Hu-mom go on, and a great one for your special day to visit Rescue Row (love that street name) and Muttville! Wish I could have been there, but this is second best to share in the celebration via photos. Happy Birthday YEAR, sweetheart! xo
Dorothy she is little Miss Everything LOL, that hoodie does suit her totally. We has such a great party and the cake was perfect for her, pink and full of bacon. Visiting Rescue Row and Muttville was important as she is a senior and needs to share with others. We wish you could have been here also it would have made her party extra special. Thank you so much for your kind wishes and to another year of Madams’ adventures
