Is it any wonder I love my neighbourhood? Where else could you get all these dogs and people to show up for your dog’s birthday party?
Here’s Sam, the amazing 100-year-old birthday dog:
It wouldn’t be a birthday party without a cake. I’ve heard of people jumping out of cakes, but I learned that if you’re not very, very vigilant, dogs will jump INTO the cake.
The guests were like whirling dervishes, and many of the photographs were just a blur of canine energy, but a few of them slowed down enough for a quick snapshot:
This is Tofu, wriggling but not running:
And Deisel, who is just naturally mellow:
And London, who is very well trained:
Even a few kids turned up (side down):
It was quite the party, with lots of humping and at least one threesome:
Rob offered to be the megaphone and organize the dogs and people for the group photo. (Don’t try this at home: Rob’s a trained professional.)
Thanks to James for carrying stuff, Tara for taking pictures, Inta for the doggy treats, and all my neighbours and neighbourhood dogs for showing up and making Sam’s 100th birthday special and memorable! It was crazy, but it was fun.

I bet that old dog has still got some tricks up his sleeve. Happy birthday Sam!
Great party, fun guests! Sam looks pleased
Sam was pleased for a little while, but decided to go home before the party was over. I had to trick him into coming back for the photo session (he falls for the stick trick every time).
I’ve never told you this, but Sam was the first singing dog on the Internet. My son had a website when he was little, and he posted an audio recording of Sam singing.
Happy (belated) birthday Sam! I’m sorry that we missed the festivities.
Seeing Roxy in these photos makes me want to confess something: I don’t think Roxy is a Rhodesian Ridgeback (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesian_ridgeback). No way josé! I shared a photo of her I took of her with my coworkers. The concensus? She’s a Belgian Malinois! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_Malinois)
Yes, I need a life.
Hrm, I guess I messed up the links.

I think you’re right. Are you going to tell him??
What??!? And prove Frank wrong? But I’m just a woman!
