Lucy’s 1st Birthday Party!

Lucy’s first birthday party was a success! It being my first “dog party” I wasn’t quite too sure how to do it, but then I just thought about Lucy and her favorite things- running, playing, other dogs, snacks, water, bubbles, toys, people…. & it was so easy! We were lucky to host at my Grandmother’s house, which is the best fenced in backyard & one of Lucy’s favorite spots! Grandma had joked about us throwing her a party there, so I made sure to make it happen & it was oddly nice to continue to make happy memories at her house even though she couldn’t be there with us in person.

I think the best most refreshing thing about dogs is- when we got to Grandma’s empty yard Lucy was ECSTATIC! she ran around full speed, jumping in mid air- she was completely content being there! So you can keep it simple & your dog will still feel all the LOVE 🙂 I’ll admit I’m the crazy one that enjoys the decorations, balloons and accessories, but hey! after everything was all set up we were both super happy! 🙂 If there is anything Dillon & I have learned over the past year it is how much we LOVE our puppy Lucy & how insanely HAPPY it makes us to see her enjoying herself! The least we could do is throw her a birthday party & get so many of her favorite things all in the same place!

Once we got everything set up & our guests arrived, I got busy & didn’t take as many pictures as I would’ve liked, but here is a peek at our set up! I got a ton of tennis balls & scattered them every where! The agility set was a fun challenge, Lucy was scared of the tunnel?! & our splash station was also a hit, the pool, splash pad & sprinkler were very nice additions on this HOT August day!

We also couldn’t forget about our human guests! & had drinks, a taco bar + desserts inside 🙂 If you haven’t tried Salsarita’s FIESTA PACK catering for an event, I highly recommend! You can easily order online or by phone & they pack it all up for you ready to go, it is a ton of food & so delicious!

It may sound insane, but we really did have the best day!! The dogs played nonstop, we got to hang out on a nice summer day with our friends & family… Lucy never stopped smiling & wagging her tail, until the next day- she slept for probably 16 hours at least!! haha Success! 10/10 Recommend! I can’t wait until her birthday next year! but let’s be honest, every day is Lucy’s birthday! 🙂
