Barely food related...

August 2nd, or sometime around then, we're not really sure on the exact day, was our puppy Wembley's first birthday. I had these grand schemes to invite all his doggy friends (really, just our friends who happen to have dogs roughly Wembley's size) over for a fun filled afternoon of water fun. Lucas was having none of that (staunchly determined not to become "those dog people"). I can see how having a birthday party for your dog may seem a little bit overboard, so I was willing to compromise. Instead of inviting other dogs to join in the fun, we bought Wembley a sprinkler. Wembles is a huge water fan anyway and loves the hose, so we figured he might enjoy a sprinkler. Enjoy it he did--he played a good 30 minutes straight in the water, pausing every so often to roll around in the grass to get good and dirty (this birthday party ended with a bath for Wembley--probably not his favorite present ever). When we thought he might fall over from exhaustion, we presented him with his cake (see, there, I mentioned food! This still counts as a food post!): 5 wheat thin crackers topped with peanut butter--his favorite treat. So, happy birthday to Wembley! Fun times. Note: the last picture is a video.
