Happy Birthday, Emme

We celebrated Emme's first birthday yesterday afternoon. The dogs had Frosty Paws ice cream, new toys and the adults had a bottle of plum wine. Emme got a new chew toy so of course Rudy got one too. We also bought a laser pointer and both dogs played Catch the Dot. Although both dogs played, it was Rudy who was most interested in the dot. He was like a dog possessed. He would chase the dot and when he got close, he would try to bite it. He was so funny and I think he really enjoyed it.

Everyone had a great time but we suffered some ill effects this morning, from the dog ice cream, not the wine. I gave both Emme and Rudy one of the Frosty Paws and I never gave a thought to the effect it might have on Emme's system. They both licked the little cups and enjoyed it immensely, but I think the portion was too large for Emme. This morning she had a very loose stool and I am sure that it was from the treat. She eats so little other than dry dog kibble. She gets tastes of various fruits and vegetables, a few puppy biscuits and ice cubes and that is about it. I didn't think that through carefully enough. We have two more cups of Frosty Paws in the carton and if I give it to Emme again, I will give her only a small portion.

Other than that one problem, all is well. Happy birthday, Emme.
