Minnie Pearl Shenanigans
What, you ask, is
a“Pup-Ceañera?”
We all know that a girl’s Quinceañera (15th birthday party)
is a major event in her life. Since the ratio of dog-to-human years
is typically noted as 7:1, their 2nd birthday would make them 14 in
human years – hence a “Pup-Ceañera!”
October 23rd marks my little Chiweenie Pearl’s 2nd
birthday.
It also marks one year that I have had her. She has since become my
official assistance animal, and as cheesy as this may sound–I
am so blessed to have her.
She calms me down and gives me something to focus my attention on.
I love to baby her, and by doing so, I forget about the stresses
and anxieties of everyday life.
You can’t help but smile when you see her huge adorable ears
and goofy smile (YES dogs smile). She is always eager to see people
and just wants to show you love and give you kisses. Now that I
have her, I can’t imagine what I did without her.
Many people have said that she looks like Yoda, Gizmo, Doby (from
Harry Potter), and the Flying Nun. But I think she's just plain
adorable.
To celebrate her birthday, come join us for a potluck party!
Bring your favorite dish to share and your own non-alcoholic
drink.

DOGS WELCOME!
POOCH PARADE AT 1 P.M.
If you bring your pooch, be sure to bring along their costume for
the Pooch Parade! The Pooch Parade will commence at 1 p.m. sharp.
After the “parade,” all in attendance will vote on the
costumes and the winners (both pooch and owner) will receive a
prize.
As an incentive, each cacher that brings a costumed dog to
participate in the parade will receive a special surprise! You may
bring more than one costumed dog if you wish, but each cache name
will only receive one surprise.
If you choose to bring your four-legged friend, PLEASE
adhere to the guidelines below:
- Ensure your dog is well-behaved, social, and able to be around
other dogs and children.
- All dogs must be on a leash.
- Pick up after your animal. I will have bags available if
needed.
- Be sure to bring water for your dog. I am planning on having
several water bowls available for all dogs in attendance to
use.
Come celebrate
with us! You’re sure to have a doggoned good time! Rain or
shine. Please post what you intend to bring to the potluck so that
I can plan accordingly. Also - if you are bringing a contestant for
the Pooch Parade, please indicate it in your post so I can make
sure I have enough incentive surprises for all
participating.
