It would be nice to go all out for Nyala's 18th birthday but I can't afford to much, my problem is that when I get her something, the others feel as though they should be getting something too. Pictures of the gang is in the group photo's under Eileen's Chi Babies. Nyala is about 10 pounds, I will check into what Pet Edge has on clearance. Since I lost my husband last year, and my neighbor moved away, it will only be only me and the babies celebrating the birthday. Thank you, Eileen and 6 chi babies

That is wonderful! Hmmm…there are some very beautiful little girlie beds out there…some even say ‘princess’ on them. I got Dolly a very cute little pearl necklace (elastic to stretch to put on her) and it has a heart at the center with little pink pave CZ. I got it at PetEdge on clearance…not sure if they still have them. How big is she? I guess maybe her weight and a picture. Some clothes that I buy Dolly don’t really fit too well. Some are really too wide at the front arm level…maybe they are made for Yorkies or other breeds that are broader at the shoulder level. I gave Dolly a birthday party for her first birthday. I bought little mini muffins and I made little ‘dog house’ shapes and cut them out and then glued a tiny picture of Dolly’s head in the doorway. I taped a umbrella toothpick to the back and inserted them in the top of the mini muffin…they were called ‘pup cakes’. I also took a picture of her and made it 8 ½ x 11 size. Then I cut out the ears and the border of the top of her head. I cut that shape out of light card stock and then I put a rolled piece of tape on the back. At the party, I put the entire picture of Dolly on a piece of cardboard and then put a scarf around each person’s eyes and we played ‘Pin the Ears on Dolly’. OK…that birthday party was so much work…it was the only one that she had… Desi doesn’t know and will never know! But, 18 years is a very special birthday, so maybe you want to go all out and have the pupcakes and pin the ears on Nyala.

Trying to come up with things that she would enjoy, like a dress harness, so that she can feel like a queen. So if you have any ideas, please let me know. Thank you, Eileen and 6 chi babies
