Happy Howl-oween: Lucky Dogs Get Loot, Too
Have you planned your Howl-oween party yet? Even if you're not having all your furry friends over, consider treating the special pets in your life to a goodie bag just for them — think of it as treats without the tricks.
North has a couple besties from Pet Camp and doggies of my friends (and, of course Samson), so I picked up some Halloween treats to hand out.
Happy Howl-oween: Planning the Perfect Pet Party
It's important to keep your pets inside on Oct. 31 – animals can easily get spooked by the strange faces. If you're lucky enough to have indoor space, why not invite over your doggy's furry clique for a Howl-oween bash?
The Scoop: Evite Adds a Pet Party Invitation Section!
I love parties (North does too), so how exciting is it that Evite has added a special section for pet-centric events? Wheee! Just looking through the choices made me think of a bunch that I'd love to plan – do you have any furry fiestas coming up?
Happy Birthday, North: Two Sweet Cakes For My Sweet Boy!
When cruising around looking for a perfect birthday pawty-cake recipe for my pup, I found a site that sells fondant for dogs! That's means if I wasn't super last minute, I could have ordered him either special treats with his adoro face on them, or just sent in a photo and special ordered their pet-friendly fondant (made of whole-wheat flour, peanut butter, milk, soy flour, baking soda, brown sugar, and milk) already set up to top 12 pupcakes! For his next fiesta with fellow furry friends, I'll bake up either the Peanut Butter Carrot Cake or the Ginger Banana Version .
Happy Birthday, North: Location, Location, Location
While I haven't given North a party in years, this year needs to be special – he's our resident celebripup on the site after all! There are so many options for having a doggie-friendly event – like Molly's party for Oliver's first birthday last year – and it's easy to get bogged down by the details.
After deliberating about North's fiesta for weeks, I've settled on an intimate gathering at a friend's backyard!
Happy Birthday, North: Two-Legged Vs. Four-Legged Parties
Just a couple more days 'til North's big day! Up first in the party planning, the guest list. If your pooch doesn't play well with others, happens to seriously lack in the BFF department, or simply adds up a gala's worth of "aunties" and "uncles" on his own, consider throwing a two-legged gathering.
Do Tell: Have You Thrown a Pet a Party?
North's sixth birthday is Friday and I've been deliberating about his party for weeks! Although I love lavishing him with presents all the time – that he loooooves ripping open – he last partied it up big time on his very first birthday.
Since I'm no stranger to helping friends with their doggies and cats, I'll be sharing my pet birthday ideas in a series this week.

Today is Veterans Day to honor the men and women who have served this country, but have you stopped to consider who serves the soldiers if they go overseas and have no human family members to watch over animals in their absence?
Well, that's where NetPets's MilitaryPetsFOSTER Project comes in. The nonprofit has a huge database of foster homes in all 50 states as well as several foreign countries willing to house dogs, cats, fish, birds, horses, and more for up to 16 months.
Banished From the Bash?
I hosted a Christmas party at my house on Saturday night to catch up with old friends before we all went our separate ways for the holidays. Now, North enjoys parties as much as anyone else I know (two or four legged), but I made the decision to bring him to daycare on the morning of. You see, he adores company so much that I worried his desire to meet-and-greet would cause unfortunate party fouls involving Pomegranate- Champagne Punch and my microsuede couches.
Guide to Planning a Phenomenal Pet Birthday Bash
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.
