The Party

The most important part of a doggie party are, the doggies, then add some children, a couple of balls, and tug of war ropes, and you have tons of fun!

Greta’s boyfriend Bernie arrived with his family about 5:30. They have a new 14 week old wire haired dachshund named, Vilia, who reminded me of Greta as a pup. Not in looks, but both are very strong alpha females and took to bossing the boys during their play session.
At first my timid boy Fritz was a little afraid of these little monsters, but it didn’t take long for him to realize he was just dealing with a couple of dogs like Greta and he, too, was playing.

Bernie is in the blue collar and Vilia is in the red collar and she is also a red and black wire-haired dachshund
The kids arrived just before we were due to eat and I was glad they were here. They’d already eaten, so they were in charge of watching all 4 dogs.

We had the shish kebabs and potato salad and once we were done with that we called Matina and James’s Mom, Aunt, and sister, Kamari to come down for the party!
The kids had gotten Fritz a present and made a card for him. Matina read Fritz his card and they opened his gift.

The cake

was served with some ice cream to all, including Fritz, but we actually had to feed him his cake twice because Greta stole his first piece!
The party lasted until after sunset when the mosquito’s chased us all away. After our guests had departed, Greta and Fritz came in and collapsed on the floor. I looked over at Fritz and I think I could se a smile on his face!
