One dog turned one year old

The two dogs have birthdays in the same month. This sheltie had his first birthday celebration and is now one year old. He is well trained and is a pampered dog who was given a birthday party by his family. Of course, he may not have known what a birthday was all about, but he liked the treats.

It was much like with real human babies. Their parents celebrate their birthdays and give them a cake even though they may not realize what is going on or why they are getting the attention.

Dogs all around the world are living in homes and apartments with their families. They are taken for walks every single day, and they are important members of families where they are treated as children. They give love as well as receive it.

Birthdays are special times for people, and especially for children. Dogs can celebrate birthdays also — or at least their owners celebrate having them in the family. They can make it a special day for the dogs.

The special “Happy Birthday” treats were provided for the dogs as they turned a year older. Many people may not know that such items exist for pets.

This dog looks almost like a toy stuffed animal. He is well behaved and loveable. He turned four years old and had his own little cake to celebrate his birthday.

The two dogs are very different, but they get along well. The dogs are almost the same size but with very different hair. The two dog cousins see each other infrequently, but they seem to enjoy each other. The dogs belong to brothers, and they are cherished members of their families.

Not everyone who has a dog celebrates their birthdays. Many people may not know when the actual birthday is, but dogs are special members of the families into which they are adopted.
