\"Puppy<\/a>This year, Lou wanted to have a puppy party. \u00a0Not just any puppy party, but a party with actual<\/em> puppies. \u00a0Luckily, our friends at A Forever Home<\/a> were willing and able to help us out with this\u00a0lovable\u00a0little\u00a0bunch.\u00a0\"Puppy<\/a><\/p>\n

Adorable, right? \u00a0These four were hard to resist, but at the risk of becoming a crazy dog lady<\/em>, I had to stick to my guns. \u00a0The girls worked me- \u00a0but I stayed strong. \u00a0Of course, I would take them all if I could, but I think two dogs is the limit for our family.\"Puppy<\/a><\/p>\n

This party was all about puppy love. \u00a0I ordered custom printables from Itsy Belle.<\/a>\u00a0 Christy was great to work with- \u00a0she even custom designed everything\u00a0to include our girls, Bailey and Lola!\"Puppy<\/a>See Lola on the left and Bail on the right- \u00a0she even has a grey beard just like our old girl! \u00a0 I was so proud of Anna who wanted to ask for donations for the puppies in lieu of gifts.\"Puppy<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Luckily, it was a nice day, so we were able to use the backyard. \u00a0The LOVE<\/a> sign was a last-minute addition, I thought it was perfect!
\n\"Puppy<\/a>The giant flowers are from Paper Source,<\/a> and I found the puppies\u00a0here<\/a>. \u00a0We used the 8 x 10 polka dot printable from\u00a0Itsy Belle<\/a>\u00a0to make the party hats and topped them off with these flowers<\/a> to match the invitations.
\n\"Puppy<\/a>I bought these jars<\/a> from Target and filled them with tiny treats for the puppies. \u00a0\"Puppy<\/a>They were the perfect size for these little nuggets.
\n<\/a>\"Puppy<\/a>Now onto the sweet treats. \u00a0<\/span>\"Puppy<\/a>I worked with <\/span>Cute Fondant<\/a> who created\u00a0these cupcake toppers. \u00a0Little B & Lola’s everywhere!\u00a0\"Puppy<\/a><\/span>\"Puppy<\/a> \"Puppy<\/a>These tags were included with the printables, I used vanilla icing to coat the milk bottles then coated the rim in sprinkles.\u00a0\"Puppy<\/a>\"Puppy<\/a>Needless to say, they went quickly.\"Puppy<\/a>\"Puppy<\/a>The flower garland is from <\/span>Target.<\/a>\"Puppy<\/a>I followed this recipe<\/a> to make some Puppy Chow- \u00a0it was a hit!\"Puppy<\/a>At the end of the party, each of the girls got to “adopt” their own puppy. \u00a0\u00a0\"Puppy<\/a>\"Puppy<\/a>How cute are these adoption certificates<\/a>?
\n\"Puppy<\/a><\/p>\n

Lou\u00a0picked a King Charles Spaniel, named her “Luna.”\"Puppy<\/a>\"Puppy<\/a>Of course, everyone would have rather left the party with one of these puppies. \ud83d\ude09
\n<\/a>\"Puppy<\/a><\/p>\n

We scattered\u00a0pictures of the girls and their furry sisters around- perfect solution for an inexpensive centerpiece! \u00a0The frames are Ikea Ribba<\/a>.\"Puppy<\/a>Lou wanted hot dogs, so we had a hot dog bar. \u00a0I bought<\/span> these hot dog bags<\/a> and fed them through the printer using the template from\u00a0Itsy Belle.<\/a><\/span>\"Puppy<\/a>\"Puppy<\/a>\"Puppy<\/a>What’s a party without a pi\u00f1ata<\/a>?\"Puppy<\/a>The birthday girl had a great day.
\n<\/a>\"Puppy<\/a>In fact so did all of the girls. I am happy to report that all four of these pups have found their forever home, but new animals are brought in daily, \u00a0Please consider adopting, and make sure to have your pets spayed and neutered. A\u00a0Forever Home<\/a>\u00a0a non-profit organization that helps animals in need. \u00a0Of course, there are always\u00a0opportunities to volunteer or donate<\/a>. \u00a0Thank you to\u00a0A\u00a0Forever Home<\/a> and all of the rescue organizations out there for saving so many animals that otherwise would have no chance.\u00a0\ud83d\udc36\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n
