Pup's 7th Birthday

For Seth's 7th birthday, he wanted to go fishing with his Uncle Justin. He didn't want to invite friends...just his family, grandparents, and his cousin, Austin. His birthday cake was two rainbow trout, complete with a gummy worm hanging from a fishing pole.

Justin and the kids fished, and fished, and fished,

AND FISHED.....until Seth decided fishing WAS NOT for him. He officially decided he would NEVER have another fishing birthday party. He said it was too boring. Patience is a HUGE part of fishing and who wants to have patience on their birthday???

His excitement and smile was quickly replaced with disappointment.

Seth sat under the pavilion and starred out at the pond with a scowl on his cute face. This was sure to be another "worst day ever". He WOULD NOT smile for anything!!!! And was cursing the sport of fishing. He was hoping the other kids would tire and come in for some lunch and presents before he wasted his whole birthday.

YEAH!!!! Let's get this party started.....and FINALLY a smile on Pup' s face. After eating Seth's favorite lunch (sandwiches and chips from Subway), he finally got to open his presents. For his birthday he wanted a spark scooter.

Seth has always wanted a dog. Unfortunately for him, I am VERY allergic to dogs....and most everything else on this planet. So he kind of asks for a dog every chance he gets, but knows mom can't have a dog around. So we always try to get him something as close to a real dog as we can, without actually getting a dog. We have 10-15 stuffed animal dogs that get played with often. These dogs also have collars, leashes, and names....complete with I.D. tags. So why not get them a food and water bowl?

Yeah, a new stuffed puppy! This newest addition even gets a warm, fuzzy doggie bed. In the background he also got some doggie chew toys and some perfume to keep his stuffed pup smelling good. Oh ya...he also got his spark Razor scooter. The last gift of his birthday came in a wiggly gift bag held by dad.....

Look at the smile on Seth's face now!!!! PRICELESS!!!!

Pup, meet Pup.

So what is this cute little Cocker Spaniel's name?

Milo.

Milo meeting Mackays.

Hopefully this is just the beginning of a fun-filled, life-long friendship.
