Baxter’s Birthday

Today is Baxter’s first birthday! We threw him a little birthday party over the weekend since Michael wouldn’t be here for his actual birthday.

I never thought I’d be that dog-mom that goes all out for her dog’s birthday, yet here we are. We bought dog cake mix, a little party hat for him, and plenty of presents, of course!

To start the day, we met up with my parents at the dog park and went for a nice walk. Then, since we’re allowed to have outdoor gatherings, we came back to our house and had a little outdoor celebration where we had hotdogs (Baxter’s favourite). He got to play with his new presents, enjoyed a special birthday cookie from my parents, and had just a small piece of cake – I didn’t want him to get sick from all the indulgent food!

Here are some of my favourite photos from his first birthday party:

I can’t believe Baxter is already 1! It feels like just yesterday that we brought him home as a tiny little puppy. Here’s a little throwback from the day we brought him home (I can’t remember him ever being this tiny!)
