Sunday, September 14th was Rebel's 2nd birthday. We had a little doggy celebration with Frost Paws and presents. The Frosty Paws were big hits with both dogs. Peanut butter is their all time favorite next to popcorn of course.

After treats it was time for the gifts!



Rebel was checking out his gift bag. He does not get as excited about gift bags as Rowdy does. Rowdy will help open a gift bag even if it belongs to others, people or dogs. He is always willing to help open gifts. Rowdy is the original party animal!

Rebels loot, a new collar, a green mint scented "Fetch" ball (it is very bouncy and so far chew proof), a red bouncy toy that you can stuff puppy treats in and a "busy buddy tug-a-jug".

The fetch ball and the red bouncy thing were big hits with Rebel. He is all about chasing toys and catching them mid bounce.

Rowdy was really into the "tug-a-jug" in fact we think this is the most active he has been in months, maybe years. The bottom of the jug unscrews and you place small treats inside. There are tiny vents on the bottom so the dogs can smell the treats. The idea is that they pull the plunger and the treats dispense one at a time. It took Rowdy about 10 or 15 minutes and then he had the hang of it. Of course we put low cal treats in it for him.

After all the birthday party excitement Rebel conked out and I was able to get a picture of him wearing his new collar.

How cute. What a loot! It's good the Tug a Jug gave him such a boost of energy! Put cheerios in too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBEL!!! Wow he got some neat doggie toys, Blackie would be jealous. The most durable one he has that hasn't got chewed up is the Puppy pacifier that is solid rubber and bounces in crazy directions. Blackie is almost 8 months.
