Happy Birthday And A Surprise

Hi sweet blogging friends.

Guess who turned 1 year old today.  Yep! Buddy.


As you can see by the look on his face he was just thrilled to wear the birthday party hat!!!!

I had birthday hats for all of them but no one wanted to wear the party hats. 

However they were all very interested in the Cheeseburger Birthday Cake!

The big guy is Bruce my daughter's Great Dane and in front is Frank their yellow lab and my youngest daughter's mini dachshund Snickers to the left.
They all joined in to sing Happy Birthday to Buddy.

The candles were lit on the special cheeseburger birthday cake and we all began to sing.

Then with the help of Terry,  Buddy made a wish and blew out his candles. 
They all could not wait for their special piece of the Cheeseburger Birthday Cake!!!!



Now for a Special Surprise.

This was our grand dog Charlie. 

He was a Boston Terrier and brother too Bruce and Frank.
 
We lost our sweet Char Char in December. 

He was 13 years old and began having issues with Congestive Heart Failure.
 
Charlie's doctor did everything he could to make him comfortable but we finally had to say our goodbyes to this sweet angel back in December.

 Oh how we miss him so.

My granddaughter Abby is turning 9 on May 18th. 
Abby has been missing her sweet Charlie so much that Terry and I decided to surprise her with a sweet new Boston Terrier Pup for her birthday.

  This is a picture I captured of her face as she found out she was going to pick out a brand new puppy. 

We told her we were going to a near by house to  pick up a  trampoline we bought for the back yard.

 Abby  has been asking for one for her birthday.

We told Abby we were going to take her to look at the trampoline to make sure she liked it.

As we pulled up to the house she said oh look MiMi they have Boston Terrier's like Charlie! 

I said oh my gosh you are right.  How fun is this they have Boston's like Charlie.

Then to her surprise when we got to the back of the house she saw all the puppies and we said sorry no trampoline but you get to pick out a puppy instead!!!!

As you can see by her face above she was so surprised and excited.

This is the sweet little one she picked out.  She is just 4 weeks old today and will not be ready for her forever home until May 6th.  



Abby is beyond excited to be getting this sweet new addition to their family.

Abby of course wanted to take her home today but we explained how she still needed to be with mommy for another month.

Here she is with my SIL who loves big dogs. 

This is why they have Bruce the Great Dane and Frank the Yellow Lab. 

Well these two boys are going to be getting a little sister in about a month. 

I think this sweet little girl is going to keep those big boys in line!!! Plus I think she already has my SIL wrapped around her little finger!

She is just too adorable for words. 

Boston Terriers are such smart and loyal dogs. 

Charlie was one of the best doggies and we all miss him. 

Hoping this sweet girl will fill that void in our hearts from missing Charlie so much.



I think Abby agrees this a much better birthday present than any trampoline could be.

Have a wonderful rest of the week and great weekend.
Hugs,
Kris

  4. Kris, Abby is a cutie pie...she will love that puppy more than any old trampoline. Good thing Terry was holding the burger cake. LOL. Funny how your SIL is holding the puppy. But his smile is accepting of the small dog. Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie

  7. How sweet, Kris! So sorry about Charlie, but it's pretty certain the best way to fill that hole is to find another fur baby to love. Abby will treasure her new furbaby, I'm sure, especially since MiMi and Pops gave her to her! I love Buddy's birthday party too. Heck, I could easily go for a cheeseburger birthday cake myself!

  32. OH MY GOODNESS! How time flies -- sweet little Buddy looks adorable with all of his 'buddies' celebrating his big day! LOL - the cheeseburger cake cracked me up. If I gave that to Hudson, I believe we'd see it come back in a not-so-nice form haha! And that adorable little baby . . . OH MY GOSH SHE IS SOMETHING ELSE! I love Bostons -- they are adorable dogs. What a great surprise!

  33. LOL...that Buddy makes me LAUGH!!!!!! Oh Kris, give him a squeeze for me, OK?

    Thank you dear kind friend for coming to visit my blog post today. Yes, years ago that seed was planted for friendship and the "watering" of kind exchanges, enthusiastic vintage finds and ideas and plotting and planning and everything in between has given us a garden of friendship. Thank you dearest heart.

  34. Happy Birthday to Buddy. I love the cake idea. So much fun.

    Abby's birthday is the same as our Atticus, May 18 th and he will be 17. He is also thinking of going into the Wisconsin National Guard as he as watched Sam take on the challenge.

    Oh my, you know how I feel about Boston Terriers. :-) Our Molly was so loyal, she only wanted to please us. I do miss her. And seeing the photos of this cutie, oh my, it has me thinking. Does Abby have a name picked out for her new puppy?
    I agree, the best birthday gift!!
