HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

OMD, today is the day... now I'm officially a WHOLE YEAR old!

I sure hope ALL of my followers stop by to celebrate with me... this is my official "blogville, birthday party post" - if you'd like to attend... just leave a comment (on this post) and then you will have attended my first ever birthday party!
"Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday dear RUDY, Happy Birthday to ME".

My raiser is planning on letting me open gifts AND eat doggy cake (made by her) later today... pictures will be posted tomorrow :)

I also received some furry cool birthday cards in the mail... which I'll be posting about tomorrow!

My furry cool raiser let me help make the cake yesterday morning... and I did a good job at making sure she used the right ingredients... of course, licking the bowl/etc is included :)

Picture of Rudy's peanut butter & carrot cake - it's iced with peanut butter, and has some kibble & shredded carrots for decoration

Soo - lets get this birthday party started, I'll be sure to give a full detailed description tomorrow, on how my party turned out - and how many furry cool guests came!

But fur now, PARTY ON!

Short note from my raiser:
I'd like to wish Rudy a very Happy FIRST Birthday, and I sure hope he enjoys all the goodies (and cake) I've got for him! If you guys would like to post about his party, on your blog - Rudy wouldn't mind at all!"

*Think this party sounds like total funballs? Leave a comment on THIS post and you'll "be at" my birthday party - hope to see you there!*

Furry kisses to all, and I hope you can stop by!
BTW - Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Happy Birthday, Rudy, and Happy St. Pat's Day, too! Being born on a holiday can be good, because NO ONE forgets it's your b-day (like Jon Farleigh who was born on Jan. 1). We love your carrot cake and think it's way cool that you are in training to help the blind.
Thanks, too, for stopping by our corgi party today. :)

I can't believe you're a year old already! I wrapped up a cat for you, but then thought you might not be allowed to chase it, so I unwrapped it (boy was he mad) and wrapped up some bacon treats instead!

I hope your birthday is the best!

Raiser Erin said...

Happy Birthday Rudy! My Momma's let me come over just for your birthday party! Being one is totally awesome! That cake looks so very yummy. Tell your raiser that if I get dropped to give my momma the recipe. Maybe that'll get her to make it for me...better yet, give it to her anyway. Maybe she'll pass it on to my person if I make the grade.

Hope you have furry fun good day!!!

Wow Rudy, it's hard to believe you are one year old already. It seems like just a short time ago you were coming to live with you raiser. I can remember all the hoopla about what your name would be. I think Rudy suits you just perfectly. You are growing intoma fine young man, and I hope you have a wonderful first birthday. Happy birthday Rudy!

P.s.
Next week I will be one, with a zero after it. My peeps can't believe that either.

Stella said...

Hi Rudy! Happy first birthday to you. I sure do admire that you are gonna be a guide dog. My Mom is deaf and I have not been trained but just learned ways to help her. I tell her when the phone or door bell rings, or if someone is around our house. She loves that I do it too!

Eat lots of cake but not allll of it!


Kisses,
Stella
