North celebrated his very special day on Saturday without one very special guest: me. Even though I whipped up that seven layer snack to honor his seventh birthday early, I still felt guilty leaving my number one (and only) pooch behind! Granted I did so in order to see my own dad for Father's Day — and picked up an amazing number of pressies for my pup in NYC — has anyone else left a pet on his birthday, either just for a couple hours or the entire day?
Pets may not countdown to their birthdays or dread passing years as they get older, but they can feel the love when you shower them with treats and attention on their special day. More than half of you say you whip out the party hats for your beloved's real birthday, which makes me feel better about the hoopla I put into planning my lil guy's big day.

Some special Sugar pup is celebrating his seventh birthday on Saturday — North! I bend the rules for my pup (and myself) and allow an extra "sweet" treat to honor the day. Inspired by Francesca and Sharkey's cupcake creation, I made up my own "pupcake" with seven layers . . . one for each year! Curious what's inside, and if North loved it? Follow along and see!
Just in time for someone's birthday this month (and by someone, I mean he's got four legs, is black and white, and goes by the name of North), I can give us both a b-day pressie and order one of these adorably original Boston Terrier art prints straight from Rubenacker's Etsy Shop to hang on my wall.
Good news for you non-Boston owners: Rubenacker doesn't only craft Boston Terrier prints (there are some other smooshies making an appearance, as well as a number of other breeds), although I happen to be a little partial, naturally. Ranging in price from $11 to over $100 dollars, there is something for everyone. I have picked out a few of my favorites from the "Boston's in Hats" series, mostly cause he has nailed the dog-with-a-hat-on expression so well — embarrassment with a little touch of annoyance tossed in for flavor.
